w0000t! My final presentation went quite well, I got some very positive feedback from the supervisors. It was a tough and hectic project and I had to continuously find my way to a final prototype, that I called EmboRemo (Embodied Remote). Overall I’m quite happy how everything went, and in the end it was exactly what I wanted to do for graduation project. Translating a conceptual theory in practice was one of my main goals, and I did that with research, prototyping and user testing. Anyways, below you can find my keynote. Some videos that are missing from the keynote, you can find below…below.
Here a short recap of my user tests with the more advanced prototypes. These prototypes are variations of the cylinder form, that I described in my previous post.
Here is my complete concept video. Length is 3 1/2 minutes. This promo video shows the basic functions of EmboRemo and how it works in practice. I must thank Ruud Burger for his acting skills and Iris Veenendaal for the voiceover.
Mid-september we presented our work on an exhibition, called Eject. I made two posters to explain my project in short.

The process of developing EmboRemo
That day we got our diploma’s in paper form, concluding our study officially. Felt really weird to be done with school, and still does. Now its Oktober already and in the meantime I moved out of Hilversum and took some (deserved) time off. At the moment I’m fixing my portfolio site, updating my curriculum vitae and learning for my drivers license (yes, I still didn’t get it, but who needs it anyways, ehum). I’m also looking for jobs, but I want to take my time.
I will try to update my blog soon with my personal happenings and future plans.
