Car Experience
designed by: Ma Xiaodan & Hee Chun Jia

Work done on exchange at Folkwang University of the Arts, Essen, Germany.
Collaboration with BMW

The concept is drawn from the inspiration of leaving footprints in a place of nostalgia. It looks at people who relate their feelings through music when they are driving to different places at different times. It longs to keep all the “perfect moments” in the places they have been to using the car. A stamp of the place with GPRS readings is generated and kept by the car. These ‘perfect moments’ can be triggered by both the place and the related song.


When the beautiful scenery matches the music in the car, passengers can press the button to capture this perfect moment.


The personal mark appears on the wind shield if the car passes by the same place again.


Working prototypes programmed with Arduino.
