Projects

01 ReachOut

For most patients living in a hospice, social and physical displacement from their familiar surroundings and loved ones are things they have to face on a daily basis. Patients also lose their privacy, lacking control and independence.

Being unable to leave the bed without assistance, these patients spend most of their time confined to the bed-scape. Hence, ReachOut is a projector system that aims to act as a bridge between a patient’s world and the outside world, reducing their sense of displacement and increasing their perceived dignity.

02 Vessel to Remember

The National Stadium was a massive vessel that held not just people, but also the memories of many Singaporeans over the years. Its demolition evoked a fear that these memories will disappear along with its physical anchor. Out of our souvenirs, stories, images and emotions, we created for ourselves a reflection of the original physical vessel—in the form of little handmade vessels—into which we now save those intangible sentimental memories.

In collaboration with URA and FARM

03 Lap+

Lap+ is a hardware-specific software that makes use of virtual reality simulation training to help novice surgeons hone their surgical skills in laparoscopic surgery. A key insight gained through our research was that novice surgeons lacked situational awareness. Through implementing feedback features and creating a case-by-case storyline flow in the simulation, situational awareness is improved by helping the users create accurate mental models and being more prepared for unexpected situations.
