	Camp Futur


2020 
Digital Product Design

	Concept, design, and pitch of an online campground for people to explore new ways of using digital technology in everyday life.
	

	&#60;img width="2278" height="1360" width_o="2278" height_o="1360" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c5cf3407dc224f9ed27f7173c156f80bad0d9f5cd002ad69463102e883025c93/cf-landing-mockup-copy.jpg" data-mid="76951057" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c5cf3407dc224f9ed27f7173c156f80bad0d9f5cd002ad69463102e883025c93/cf-landing-mockup-copy.jpg" /&#62;

	
	①
	Project
Background
	

	Human beings have always used technology (like wheels)(or telephones)(or AI)(you can name many more) to travel faster, communicate better, work more efficiently, and live more happily. But why do some people want to stay away from digital technology, or monitor their screen time (and often failing)?

	
	Problem
	
	Many of us have trouble with our digital habits.

	
	Observation
	Most existing products are for monitoring screen time. We do not have useful tools to help improve the quality of time spent online.
	

	Question
	How can we move beyond screen time, and begin to imagine more desirable ways of using digital technology in everyday life?
	

	②
	Audience
Research
	

	After doing preliminary research, audience surveys, and in-person interviews, I narrowed my audience to 18 to 40 year-olds who are frustrated with their current digital habits.
	

	Audience
Characteristics
	Digital natives;Embraces digital technology;
Self-conscious about their digital habits;
Wants to spend quality time online.
	

	Pain
Points
	Too much content online;Addictive app/web mechanisms;Health concerns;Losing contact with the real world.
	

	Opportunity
	Despite their current frustrations, people still go online multiple times a day, wanting to feel relaxed, inspired, and connected. They are looking for new ways to stay in touch with the digital world.

	③
	Concept &#38;amp;
Design Inspiration
	

	My initial thought was to create an online campground. In real life, camping is a good way to reconnect with nature and pay attention to one’s actions. What would be the digital equivalent of camping?
	

	&#60;img width="965" height="638" width_o="965" height_o="638" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/99403f9274d2b5571e1a6df8c2f4ad93640cc0d8dfeaf96cdcb8796d0fcd2f8c/IMG_2073.JPG" data-mid="75826829" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/965/i/99403f9274d2b5571e1a6df8c2f4ad93640cc0d8dfeaf96cdcb8796d0fcd2f8c/IMG_2073.JPG" /&#62;
The first paper prototype I made for Camp Futur (which was named Pleasant Delivery back then). I was very excited about building a website with clouds and tents and sheep walking by, and very lost about what people would do on such a site. Photo captured by Echo︎︎︎ from maybe 10 feet away (sorry about the low res).

Digital interventions such as Yehwan Song’s Anti-User Friendly Series︎︎︎ have been a major inspiration.
	&#60;img width="1280" height="720" width_o="1280" height_o="720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ec071fe9c764e52232b0f330789617623521ca2a4f66dda310445b81ba8d7c24/animal-crossing-new-horizons-switch-screenshot06.jpg" data-mid="75125652" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ec071fe9c764e52232b0f330789617623521ca2a4f66dda310445b81ba8d7c24/animal-crossing-new-horizons-switch-screenshot06.jpg" /&#62;
I looked at Animal Crossing for user experience and environment design insights. Image from Nintendo.

	Concept
	Camp Futur, an online campground for people to explore new ways of using digital technology.
	

	Rationale
	
Digital technology does not have to be demanding or distractive. Digital designs that prioritize human sensations over content consumption can help strengthen our connection with the real world.&#38;nbsp;

	Current 
Web Prototype
	

	I started with the web prototype because it allowed me to quickly create wireframes and test out the core functions.
	

	&#60;img width="5400" height="3600" width_o="5400" height_o="3600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/234372df71a7792b733ece7ddf98edecdf26f91cbda6655155ad0ce5cb69279f/web-frames-animation.jpg" data-mid="77736579" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/234372df71a7792b733ece7ddf98edecdf26f91cbda6655155ad0ce5cb69279f/web-frames-animation.jpg" /&#62;

	
	Item I
	The Book is a tool for curating digital libraries.
	

	The user can use My Stacks to build a digital archive of books they have read in the past. My Tags auto-generates tags according to the book’s genre, author, theme, and so on, giving the user an overview of their reading habits.

The Book is for those who want to get back in touch with books, libraries, and the act of reading.
	

	Item II
	The Door is a tool for exploring places around the world through virtual tours and live cameras.
	

	The Door curates virtual tours and live cameras across different online platforms, presenting a limited number of places for users to explore each day. The user can also save the places they like.
The Door is for those who want to take quick tours to explore more parts of the world.
	

	Item III
	The Flower is a tool for visualizing words.
	

	The Flower is a visual diary. While the user is typing, shapes and colors associated with particular words will begin to merge in the space beside the text box. For more personalized results, the user can go to Train Flower (currently under development) and specify how they perceive certain words.&#38;nbsp;
The Flower is for those who want to document their everyday life through multiple senses.
	

	︎
	Next Steps
	

	Camp Futur is an ongoing experiment. I am currently refining the website prototype, building a mobile prototype, and connecting with creatives to include more experiences at the campground. If you would like to learn more about this project, or have ideas you would like to share, please do send me an email! I’d love to get in touch.&#38;nbsp;

	Based in New York City, 21 Alchemist︎︎︎ is an online store for recycled designer clothing. While working with 21 Alchemist, I created original photography and visual content for their website on Wix.&#38;nbsp;

After the initial website launch, I continued to create Instagram posts, photograph products, and design print collaterals for 21 Alchemist’s marketing campaigns.

	2018AR Content Design


ExSPACE was an AR exhibition designed to bring light to the abandoned subway tunnel in Rochester, New York.Team Lead / Naomi RutagaramaAR Developer / Jorge Vázquez González︎︎︎
AR Content Designer / MeMarketing Director / Valev Laube︎︎︎


	&#60;img width="2025" height="1350" width_o="2025" height_o="1350" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f32198586e3741178dcc10f59bccc8f6317754d4620fe1f6400a11609d144144/Aaron-Raymond2.jpg" data-mid="75012156" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f32198586e3741178dcc10f59bccc8f6317754d4620fe1f6400a11609d144144/Aaron-Raymond2.jpg" /&#62;

	①&#38;nbsp;
	Wait, 
there’s a subway in Rochester, NY?
	

	Yep. Or, there used to be, like back in 1927. The Rochester Industrial and Rapid Transit Railway (RSB), more commonly known as the Subway in Rochester, was constructed in the bed of the old Erie Canal, operating from 1927 to 1956. 

	
	A (Sad) Story
	The adaptation of the old Erie Canal was truly impressive and imaginative, but then the Great Depression came, and Rochester subway never reached its full potential.
	

	&#60;img width="1080" height="720" width_o="1080" height_o="720" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/afe44a2e199b664bb14a179c18cacf5d1515eed74df8865b9ec2d608c77da186/light-in-tunnel.jpg" data-mid="75013223" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/afe44a2e199b664bb14a179c18cacf5d1515eed74df8865b9ec2d608c77da186/light-in-tunnel.jpg" /&#62;Naomi or Jorge or Val or me running through the dark subway tunnel with a single light source.


	②&#38;nbsp;
	Wow ok. 
What happened to the subway tunnel?
	

	Pretty much nothing. While the city filled parts of the abandoned subway tunnel to make way for other constructions, the 1.7 mile-long section (formerly the Erie Canal bed) that lies in downtown Rochester remains empty and closed. 

	
	The Subway
Today
	As the city council debates whether to fill the tunnel or revitalize it, Rochester residents have come to accept the Subway as part of their history. 
Graffiti artists, especially, have been filling the dark tunnel with vibrant writings over the years.
	

	&#60;img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5ad15496b282f5df779c2e39a8b06f9dd8ea11a4b2e38b8c5361565fd8547614/pillars.jpg" data-mid="75034247" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5ad15496b282f5df779c2e39a8b06f9dd8ea11a4b2e38b8c5361565fd8547614/pillars.jpg" /&#62;

	
	③&#38;nbsp;
	What did you all do, then?
	

	Naomi first had the idea to do something for the abandoned subway tunnel when she learned about and visited the place. Then we took a group trip down into the tunnel with our tiny phone flashes, and were amazed by all the graffiti pieces hiding in the dark. 

	
	A Memory
	It was surprisingly quiet and cold and humid (because of the river) and dark (really dark). But the graffiti pieces were amazing.
	

	&#60;img width="1980" height="1067" width_o="1980" height_o="1067" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/53c86d90123480c73c4e57fac6b552ac7c0918fa2af7a91398b8e7a64ad009d1/graffiti.jpg" data-mid="75039321" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/53c86d90123480c73c4e57fac6b552ac7c0918fa2af7a91398b8e7a64ad009d1/graffiti.jpg" /&#62;
Fragment of a graffiti piece in the tunnel. Artist to be identified.
	

	We wanted to bring the graffiti out for people to see, since we could not actually bring people into the tunnel (we asked the city and it was a no). It was also around when Rochester officials were planning to fill (again) the remaining subway tunnel and turn it into a giant parking garage. We felt the need to share what we saw with the local community.
So we decided to do an exhibition.
	

	④&#38;nbsp;
	Tell me about the exhibition!
	

	&#60;img width="2025" height="1350" width_o="2025" height_o="1350" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e54c95d4ab226b33a23eec6bb2516aab79b6c7abced2b8c25bc0289219739114/credit-to-Aaron-Raymond.jpg" data-mid="75039705" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e54c95d4ab226b33a23eec6bb2516aab79b6c7abced2b8c25bc0289219739114/credit-to-Aaron-Raymond.jpg" /&#62;


	After some interviews with the local graffiti artists and several more trips to the subway tunnel with better equipment other than our phones, we began to prepare for the final AR exhibition.&#38;nbsp;
	

	Why AR?
	We chose to work with AR because we wanted to recreate the experience of stumbling upon powerful art in the dark subway tunnels.
	

	Project Goal
	We wanted to showcase the graffiti pieces and raise questions among the local community. 
What happens to spaces that are no longer functional? What should happen to those spaces, if they carry historical and emotional value?
	

	&#60;img width="2025" height="1350" width_o="2025" height_o="1350" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dbff08e3ad93582390c13cccc5a5449a9e340d9b3ef0014ca41f150537986546/exspace-wall2.jpg" data-mid="75039728" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dbff08e3ad93582390c13cccc5a5449a9e340d9b3ef0014ca41f150537986546/exspace-wall2.jpg" /&#62;One of the three projections during the exhibition.

	
	&#60;img width="1339" height="1097" width_o="1339" height_o="1097" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e4b7b9d123cf285f4de230539d00576a58b9dcee4a1482909989469d0e2c4311/example2.jpg" data-mid="75039969" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e4b7b9d123cf285f4de230539d00576a58b9dcee4a1482909989469d0e2c4311/example2.jpg" /&#62;
The shadow issue was one thing we could not resolve because of the physical exhibition space.
	

	&#60;img width="2025" height="1350" width_o="2025" height_o="1350" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f2666e4d9cdfae2f7ab6874df4e1bfa15214604ad77be0c15c63a5ae0bfe9209/Aaron-Raymond3.jpg" data-mid="75040203" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f2666e4d9cdfae2f7ab6874df4e1bfa15214604ad77be0c15c63a5ae0bfe9209/Aaron-Raymond3.jpg" /&#62;Luckily the lighting situation worked out ok.
