Five Master Digital Design student teams present projects ranging from emergency care support for unhoused persons to an AI companion, a digital sustainability tool, haptic navigation, and visions of digital legacies.
Five projects: Echo, Tutu, Stroll, Crux & Linkzorg
Echo reimagines the preservation and sharing of our digital lives, transforming scattered digital moments into a meaningful legacy. By allowing people to label content in a range of social and media platforms, Echo supports the creation of a highly personalised digital legacy experience.
Tutu is a soft AI-powered companion designed to support older adults during moments of anxiety, confusion, or distress—especially in response to rising issues like phone call scams, loneliness, or cognitive overwhelm.
Stroll is a wearable haptic system that combines AI, GPS, and haptic feedback to guide users in urban walks while encouraging mindful presence.
LinkZorg is a digital platform designed to help emergency staff at OLVG Oost Hospital in Amsterdam connect 3U patients—those who are unhoused, undocumented, or uninsured—with essential follow-up care.
CRUX is a digital sustainability toolkit designed for design agencies and product teams. It combines two interactive workshops with a plugin prototype that estimates COâ‚‚ emissions of digital products and helps teams evaluate the environmental impact of their projects.
