RCA students collaborate with OPPO to design products focused on humanising technology
Dezeen promotion: global technology company OPPO presents seven products designed by postgraduate Royal College of Art students that could help "integrate technology into our lives more seamlessly".
The seven people-centric projects were developed by five of eight students enrolled on the university's MA Design Products programme, who were mentored by the company's design hub, OPPO London Design Center.
