Studio José de la O reveals objects designed by brainwaves
Designer José de la O has teamed up with technology firm Mirai Innovation to develop a way for people to manipulate the shape of a vase using only their thoughts.
Working alongside Japanese company Mirai Innovation, Studio José de la O designed an experiment that allows participants to manipulate a generic computer model of a vase using brain signals.
"The experiment toys with the idea that, in a near future, sophisticated digital interfaces could empower people who don't need technical skills to design," De la O explained.
"Learning a specific craft, a 3D software, or even sketching, could no longer be necessary to design and produce everyday objects."
De la O's Mexico City-based interdisciplinary design agency specialises in innovation, and with this project wanted to explore how an emerging technology might enable users to shape the objects they live with. The experiment was conducted using a devise called Aura, which was developed by Mirai Innovation to support professionals working in industries such as health, education and business.
The Aura headgear is covered with sensors that monitor different bio-signals from the brain, including electro-encephalograms.
During the experiment, two participants with no existing design knowledge or skills were asked to sit in a comfortable chair in a room without any distractions that might influence their thoughts.
The subjects sat facing a screen onto which the computer-generated model of a typical vase was...
