Overview

What should OpenAI build as their first AI device?

My teammates and I were tasked with this brief as part of our first project at Silicon Valley School of Design. We explored the hardware × AI landscape, ideated (and eliminated) a lot of concepts, tested them with users, and iterated upon the feedback we received from industry designers (we even presented to a designer who worked on the Humane Pin!). Eventually, we landed on an ambient wearable we called Tomo.

This case study is in progress. Sorry!

You can view our presentation to learn more about our explorations, and what we landed on for Tomo.
