Vintage VW

Volkswagen Knowledge Gate Navigator

I finally got permission from Asymptote to publish some images of the haptic interfaces I designed for Volkswagen. These images have been laying dormant on my site for over a year, so you can either scroll back or just click here to have a look.

Dynamic Systems

We have developed a dynamic advertising display for VW that presents company data in a morphing three dimensional network.  The display is driven by dynamic forces in Maya, fed new data through Excel, and rendered in realtime, enabling endless combinations of form and information.

VW Interactive

Volkswagen Navigator

For my first project at Asymptote, I’m designing an interactive environment for Volkswagen’s headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany.  This is the first thing we’ve come up with, Its a 3d navigator that is fully touch responsive.  It orbits around in a dormant state on a touch screen monitor until you touch it, and then it positions itself and presents a series of options.  It is meant to exist in a sort of gravity free space so that it moves naturally in response to every little touch. The image above shows the navigator moving through a series of rotations that can be referenced by Flash to simulate different responses.  Note the not so subtle VW iconography on the navigator.
