the problem

The whole concept behind this brief is to design a product that helps alleviate an identified problem and incorporates a functional user interface. The problem in question, the massive amount of e-waste as a result of smartphones in the year 2100 (concept brief).

objectives

The objectives of this brief are to design a product that addresses the problem effectively, incorporating ergonomic features and an intuitive user interface and experience that inform the overall design.

the solution

The ORVORO - Smart Ring. This product makes use of advanced technologies (such as nanotechnology and quantum dots) to replace the smartphone and all the waste it causes. The display is projected in the space of the user with the option of customizing anything that they would like to.

how it works

The Orvoro smart ring makes use of nanites and quantum dot technology to project a vivid, floating display. The ring deploys nanites with micro-scale projection units that move around the user's hand, emitting light enhanced by quantum dots. These nanites synchronize to create a stable, responsive interface that adapts to hand movements, delivering a vibrant, holographic experience.
