james 2025 concept car
featuring work of my bachelor thesis

This show car by Volkswagen and Audi was presented in the CeBIT opening ceremony 2014 as an interior design study for autonomous vehicles. I created the center console of this car as part of my bachelors thesis and envisioned different interaction concepts for futuristic autonomous vehicles (including gesture controls, haptics and touch interfaces).

NoBrainer - Interaction concept
1st price @ ATT Hackathon, Redwood City, CA

NoBrainer was created during a Hackathon (ATT 2014) in Redwood City, California. In 48 hours we created this fun App that was connected to a NeuroSky Brain Wave detector. Similar to the popular App Tinder, this App shows you different persons and triggers a Match or NoMatch (hot or not) command depending on your brain level activity. I was responsible for the whole UI and interaction concept. Eventually we were able to win the first place in this competition.
