La mia 500 - The project is an exhibition piece developed for Salone Del Mobile Milano 2004. It has been since featured at Science Festival in Genova and became a long term exhibition piece at Telecom Italia Future Center in Venice.
The piece consists of the original re-designed Fiat 500 and a gas pump.
The gas pump has been redesigned to allow users wirelessly download MP3 to the car in the same manner as they pump gas.
Inside the car:
1. Window drawing. Using ultrasonic sensors places near the passenger window, users can draw and write directly on the glass using regular marker pen. The messages then could be sent to the mobile phone or projected outside the car.
2. A rear view mirrow contains a hidden camera that can take snapshots of the passengers and the journey and immedietly print in in the dashboard printer.
3. Car locks are SMS enabled. THe user has to send an SMS to the number plate of the car. He then recieves a messag back with the instructions and the car doors get unlocked.
My role: Conceptualization and full implementation.
