DIGIFAM

The brief for this project was to design a 'dumbphone'. Its aim was to design a trans-generational device around a primary function that is viable, feasible, and desirable.

​

For my product, I designed a product centred around family. DIGIFAM is a device aimed to strengthen family connections and encourage digital detox in a society increasingly distracted by digital culture, supporting mental wellbeing.

​

DIGIFAM consists of 2 components. Its primary device allows users to communicate with essential applications, including calls, camera and GPS sharing. This device encourages the capture of every day photos to share amongst family. Its secondary docking device supports this by acting as a shared family hub within each household. When the primary device is docked, it transfers images captured throughout the day by each family member to each family hub, where they are presented on the device as a slideshow. The phone device also includes a remote application to control the docking system.

​

This system allows family members across separate households to reflect on their family’s everyday, keeping everyone up to date with ease.
