Meet the New Talent Winners
In this Talent Track, Gold Award winner Benedikt Herzau, and New Talent Award winner Yuchen Lan will walk us through their projects.
About the Projects:
NOISE. Interactive audiovisual design by Benedikt Herzau is a synthesizer that empowers the user to interactively create the soundscape in the interior according to their own needs and expectations. In addition to masking disturbing ambient noise, e.g. traffic noise, the stimulation with certain acoustic frequencies can improve recovery processes, sleep quality and the ability to concentrate. The interaction with the synthesizer provides spaces to retreat from everyday noise pollution and supports a conscious examination of one's own well-being.
Moii: A progressive ACT training kit by Yuchen Lan: Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease that causes thick mucus in patients' lungs, leading to irreversible damage. Daily Airway Clearance Therapy (ACT) is essential for clearing this mucus. However, adolescents often have low adherence rates to ACT. Moii is designed to improve adherence by guiding patients through a progressive journey. The system helps patients accept daily ACT on a psychological level, promoting motivation, independence, and efficiency to prevent early lung deterioration.
About the Format:
Talent Track: Award Winners presents outstanding projects from the New Talent award category. The format, live interactive presentations followed by a Q&A session, offers a behind-the-scenes look at award-winning projects and shines a spotlight on some of the most promising “young guns” in experience design.
