PORTFOLIO
Here are links to some of some projects that I made in team with other students:
‘What’s Cooking’ A mobile social software focused on the joy of eating together. It that allows people who love cooking to organize dinners, sharing tasks and dividing skills. Through What’s Cooking? you can find people with the same tastes as you and have dinner with them. This project won first prize in the Mobile category of the Adobe Design Achievement Awards, New York 2008.
Dérive Dérive is a different kind of mobile navigator that allows you to wander and drift through the city using the five senses. Through Dérive you can rediscover your usual places, share your sensations and experience what other users felt before you. The software is especially designed for Venice.
The project was semifinalist in the mobile category of the Adobe Design Achievement Awards 2009.
Blinky Blinky is a remote communication system based on internet which allows two people who are distant to keep in touch in a different, unusual and involving way. The system is composed of two devices, one per user, each of which is activated by blowing and produces a visual output which represents the weather conditions of the place where its partner is.
