UNI is a project I designed in Strategic Technology class along with other 6 members (Dyanis de Jesus, Guy Laufer, Vimvipa Poome, Rebecca Paul, Grace Chen and Quentin Koopman). My specific role in the 7 people team was Design Director.
UNI is an online, real-time, shared experience platform. UNI is the next level of virtual platform based on my team findings of two key convergent points: 1) Human needs: audience’s relationships with technology and with one another; and 2) Industry trends /Market needs: technical developments and industry shifting in an increasingly digital reality.
The web platform will:
- Facilitates remote, real-time, shared acts/experiences such as: movie dates, shopping, exercise, cooking (from planning to execution).
- Provides added services to enrich these experiences through e-commerce.
- Generates and saves content afterwards to build an “emotional archive” of memories.
- Allows for relationship building over time by suggesting activities users can do every week with friends, and by identifying the roles of people in the users’ life according to shared activities.
Home. It is not about connecting before or after experiences. UNI. is about doing life together.
Uni shopping: shop together, online, real-time
Uni music: watch concert together, online, real-time
UNI reading: with the HTML 5, reading together online with friends is the new experience.

You can sign in from multiple devices and use UNI at the same time, for example, watch movie from your account in the computer and chat with friends via your iPad.

UNI
UNI is an online platform that facilitates an enhanced simultaneous multi-user, experience. UNI is supported by mobile media and a tablet component, where people that are geographically or physically separated can join to share experiences that better simulate physical closeness than the connection currently facilitated by social networks, as we know them today.
It is not about connecting before or after experiences. UNI. is about doing life together.
