Arc

Industrial Design
Project Overview
Arc was designed out of a project brief that aimed to design for complex manufacturing. The goal of the project was to create a desktop related product that utilized a broad ranges of materials such as plastics, metals, wood, etc. During our 10 week course we had begun to learn about a variety of innovative materials and common manufacturing processes. The design also needed to include a minimum of 5 different forming processes across any of the components. Arc was conceptualized and developed in under 4 weeks.
My Contributions
Part of a 5 person design team, my role involved the development of 3D models and renderings to bring Arc to life. Over the course of 2 weeks myself and a co-designer built all components of the model as well as determined the necessary manufacturing processes.
Arc acts as the bridge between the old and new workplace. The technologies within Arc aim to reduce desktop clutter through implementation of Google Soli and Augmented Reality. Digitization of the user’s workspace allows for better organization and the opportunity to collaborate with other users simultaneously. As users move towards collaborative workspaces, Arc maintains key physical elements of the desktop, making the transition seamless. Meanwhile, current technological add-ons such as the speaker and induction charger keep the design palpable to users and functional within the physical realm.
