Cardboard model of an audio system for the home environment
Real scale model in black and white cardboard. With this model, one can demonstrate a specific interaction with digitized music records. Relying on moving parts and physical shape changes, the presented interaction has a more physical nature than the one which is employed by the current generation of consumer electronics.
Research questions
How can interaction with dematerialized artifacts, in this case dematerialized music albums, be made more expressive, meaningful and valuable?
Impact
The audio system is published in the doctoral thesis of Lukas Van Campenhout, and in International Journal of Design. Next to that, the audio system is used as a demonstrator in several courses in the 3d year bachelor and the 1st year master at Product Development, Faculty of Design Sciences, University of Antwerp.
