Story Of Ivy

Relight the Fire in your Relationship

The Story of Ivy is a product family that is meant for couples that have lost the motivation to spend time together. Couples often have different routines and many other reasons why they can’t spend time together. The Story of Ivy offers a new experience for couples by reviewing memories. These memories exist of photos, videos and recordings stored on their phones. By spending time together, the couple can unlock memories they have made and review them in an immersive way by using a beamer. The product family consists of wearables that track the proximity between the couple to determine if they are spending time together. The app is used to track the progress of the time spent together. The Ivy itself functions as a lamp and can be interacted with to review the memories. The beamer is used to display the unlocked memories in an immersive way.

This was supossed to be my second project in the DIGSIM squad. Unfortunately it got a H, which mean hold. The background of our project was not defined enough and their were some issues with the collaboration. Even tough failing this project slightly delayed my studies I still liked the design and learned some valuable lessons when it comes to teamwork and process of design. For this project I focussed like the previous NORA project in my premaster on T&R. I did the electronical stuff, both hardware and software, and the connectivity (Code1 / Code2 ). For this project I also bought a 3D-printer which I could then use and gain experience with.
