Glädje

The concept Glädje. Glädje has the shape of a half sphere with the flat side facing upwards. It has a ring which lights up in different colours. It has three wooden legs. At the top there are some buttons for recieving a memory, turn on/off, volume, and sync with mobile. Next to Glädje is a smartphone with the Glädje app installed.

An interactive speaker bot that lets users reminisce happy moments from their past. It was an individual project that was part of the course Designing User Experiences and the task was to design anything that involved either Speculative, Spatio-temporal, Embodiment or both. My focus was mainly on Spatio-temporal design but also Speculative design. The design had to be based on existing literature. Glädje is designed to be used in today’s society, but it assumes there are no limits regarding ethics and technology.
