Context & Design Rationale

Time: 2025

Event: the annual student showcase event

Location: The hangar at school (CDM)

Problems we are solving:

Some students are not good at networking with potential employers and don't know what to say and do properly. They need some external help that assists them in socializing.

Solution:

iBeep - connect you with your dream job. It is a pair of intelligent earphones with a build-in personal AI assistant

Interactions:

Users touch iBeep to activate it and turn it off. iBeep monitors users’ heart rate and gives them suggestions to socialize.

Visualization:

Instead of shooting the video in real-life scenes, we use heartbeat rhythms, emojis and a dark background to visualize character's emotions.

Highlight one side (positive or negative) of the new technology.



Team:


Script writing & storyboarding: Wenyi Gong

Sound design & video editing: Hong (Steven) Sun

Visual effects & video editing: Hang (Hannah) Zheng
