CONTEXT

The brief for this project was to identify a form of technology and design a service, system or product that was on the cutting edge of the chosen technology.

MY PROJECT

For my project I investigated virtual reality (VR). The prototype I created combined VR technology with my own personal interest in footwear and the customisation of shoes. I styled my project as a service by Nike that would allow users to personalise existing models of Nike shoes in a virtual environment, with a tangible element to enhance the user experience.

The concept however, could be used to to customise many products from a vast array of brands.
