Design X Social ’22
ViZone
Project Summary
Problem Identified
ViZone attempts to make human communication interactive while still keeping the sense of connection. People can connect with their friends and colleagues in a new way. Pandemic lifestyle restricts them from attending social gatherings which were an outlet for relaxation from work.
Design Innovation
During the interviews, users showed interest in having a virtual character represent them. ViZone works with Augmented Reality where users can create their virtual avatars and meet their friends online. AR reads the facial expressions of the users and their friends can see the avatar imitate the expression. ViZone has maps for event organizers to let them choose an appropriate location for their event. It includes an office set-up with party decor, cafe and library, birthday-themed spaces, open ceremonies' ground, and a blank option if someone wishes to create from scratch. It offers in-built games like a treasure hunt, draw and tell, climb up, etc. to host challenges and win real-world vouchers.
Impact On The Society
It is a platform for everyone. Companies can host weekly events, schools and universities can host graduation parties and fests, common people can have their birthdays and other get-together events with their friends and families.
