Hitonami: Inclusive Personalized Mobility Arenas Experience
Tokyo, a bustling metropolis of some 36 million residents, presents a unique challenge of urban mobility. Its intricate train network, serving over nine million commuters daily, is more than a transit hub – it's a vibrant commercial center. As Tokyo faces inevitable shifts in its urban landscape, (affected among other things by?) immigration from rural areas, an aging population, and the rise of immersive media, the question arises:
How can we transform this complex transport network into an efficient, user-centered system that harnesses emerging technologies?
The Hitonami 2.0 reimagines urban living in the near future, when 6G internet and mixed reality devices will be ubiquitous. As cities grow and become more overcrowded, navigating in complex environments and calibrating sensory overload become more pressing issues.
The interface addresses these challenges by playfully enhancing focus and decreasing noise. This offers an alternative approach to existing navigation tools (such as navigation apps and signage) and to the over-stimuli in crowded mobility arenas.
The designed interface draws on natural movement patterns, integrating them in the technology-networked urban environments, creating a sense of awe.
