I design physical and digital interactions that make future-facing ideas experienceable.

A shared-control concept for autonomous driving: a tangible interface lets every passenger shape the car’s driving style and feel the others’ preferences through haptic feedback.

BriefTranscript

Crit of the V2 recorder before the next print. The team kept sliding the cover as the only way to record, and agreed the LED ring should stay lit for the whole meeting so the room can always tell it’s listening.

Action items

Print the cover with a looser rail, by Thursday.

Move the LED ring behind the diffuser lip.

Flash firmware 1.5 to both test units.

Key pointsThe cover is the record button. No second control.Recordings wait on the card until the computer is in range.

00:00Okay, we’re recording. Let’s start with the cover, since it’s the first thing anyone touches.

00:41The slide feels right now. It clicks into place without being stiff.

02:05Do we still want a button on the side, or is the cover enough?

02:30The cover is enough. One control: if it’s open, it’s recording.

04:12Then the LED has to stay on for the whole meeting. If it fades after a minute, nobody across the table can tell it’s still listening.

04:40Agreed. Nobody should have to guess whether they’re being recorded.

05:18Then the ring goes behind the diffuser lip, so it isn’t harsh up close.

06:02I’ll print a cover with that lip and a looser rail by Thursday.

The desktop app that comes with it, for Mac and Windows: read back a meeting’s brief and transcript, ask it a follow-up question, and jump to the moment in the transcript where the answer was said.

If it’s listening, everyone at the table should be able to see it. Sivun has no record button: you slide the cover open to record and close it to stop, so the whole room can tell at a glance. What it hears stays private too, transcribed on your own computer and never sent to a server.
