A.MUSE – Interactive Design Studio

What if product development could transcend physical limitations and thrive in an interactive virtual space? We are thrilled to share our journey with #VoirVR, a groundbreaking R&D project pioneering the future of collaborative product development in the #metaverse. Supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, in partnership with the Technische Universität Chemnitz and VRENDEX GmbH, we are reshaping the way we innovate and collaborate. Imagine developing and configuring products with partners and clients in real-time, regardless of distance or devices. This is the future we are building! Our methods included human-centered design, usability testing, and iterative prototyping to ensure Voir VR meets the highest standards for usability and user experience. Our partnership allowed us to validate our designs through in-depth research, combining joy of use with scientific rationality and accuracy. Key Learnings and Achievements -💡Gamified Spatial Interfaces: We created intuitive, touchable design elements, combining skeuomorphism with contemporary design for a natural user experience. -💡Immersive Visualization: Users can experience products in realistic contexts, gaining an intuitive understanding of size, proportion, and functionality. -💡Global Collaboration: Distance is no longer a barrier. Teams across the world can collaborate in real-time or asynchronously, anytime, anywhere. -💡Comfortable Environment: We designed a distraction-free VR space that fosters creativity and productivity, validated by research from Chemnitz University of Technology. How do you see #mixedreality transforming your industry?  I would love to know! 💜 – Minh A.MUSE – Interactive Design Studio Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/ehctp_Qm #vr #xrdesign #spatialinterface #ux #ui #VirtualReality #ProductDevelopment #Collaboration #future

Sachsen-Anhalt trifft Vietnam: Neue Gemeinschaftsausstellung sachsen-anhaltischer und vietnamesischer Kunstschaffender in der Kunststiftung Sachsen-Anhalt. Interkultureller Dialog, seine Fehlstellen und die Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen Geschichte – davon handeln die Werke von acht sachsen-anhaltischen und vietnamesischen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern. Arbeits- und Aufenthaltsstipendien in Kooperation mit dem Goethe-Institut Hanoi ermöglichten ihnen Reisen in die Kunstwelt des jeweils unbekannten und fernen Landes und inspirierte sie zu Werken, die gemeinsam präsentiert werden. Die Ausstellung vereint keramische Plastiken von Judith Runge und Julia Schleicher, entstanden während ihrer Residenzen im Keramikstudio von „Hiên Vân Ceramics“, mit Foto- und Videoarbeiten des Künstlerduos Le Brothers (Lê Đức Hải und Lê Ngọc Thanh), die in Zusammenarbeit mit Nguyễn Đăng Trường Lâm entstanden. Diese beleuchten die vietnamesische Community und deren Geschichte in Halle und anderen deutschen Städten. Außerdem sind Handschuhskulpturen aus Reispapier zu sehen, mit denen Xuân-Hạ Nguyễn bei ihrem Besuch in Halle Geschichten hiesiger vietnamesischer Einwanderer nachspürte, während Matthias Ritzmann diesen fotografisch nachging. Holzschnitte, inspiriert vom vietnamesischen Nationalepos „Truyện Kiều“ („Das Mädchen Kieu“), zeigt Franca Bartholomäi. Vietnamesische Sprache und Kultur vermitteln bereits an Kinder Binh Minh Herbst und Christin Marczinzik von A.MUSE – Interactive Design Studio mit ihrer crossmedialen Web-App „Songs of Culture“ und laden in der Ausstellung zum Mitsingen, Lernen, Malen und Kennenlernen dieser Kultur ein.   BLICK ZUM HIMMEL 17. Mai – 30. Juni 2024 geöffnet Mi – So von 14 – 18 Uhr Eintritt: 3 €, ermäßigt 1 €   Kunststiftung Sachsen-Anhalt Neuwerk 11 06108 Halle (Saale)

Some impressions of our XR Design & Prototyping Workshop with rock star Gabriele Romagnoli 🥽 from ShapesXR. It was a blast to co-host with you! ✨ We talked about how #Hedonomics can be implemented in XR Design, with practical examples. Then we jumped into ShapesXR and showed rapid prototyping features as well as tagged cool workflows with Unity and Figma and the new web interface. So much to discover with the new update! 🧙🏻♂️🪄 Special thanks to 🕶️ Dinesh Punni and Anna Punni with the crazy team from immersive insiders - hosting XRCC for organizing this legendary Hackathon-Event!

It was a full house at the #XRCC designer workshop chaired by Gabriele Romagnoli 🥽 and Binh Minh Herbst. Now it's time to start hacking! We cannot wait to see and test the Shapes prototypes from the different teams... and the good news is that no matter which one of the 6 categories they pick they can all compete for the "Best use of ShapesXR" category! Good luck and let's THINK SPATIAL!

I am incredibly honored and grateful to be part of the campaign for the “Blick zum Himmel” exhibition, which is now on display in the Cities of Halle, Leipzig, and Magdeburg. 🥰 This exhibition showcases the transformative power of art and design, exploring inter-cultural dialogue and personal histories through the eyes of artists & designers from Vietnam and Saxony-Anhalt. 🌍↔️🌏 Behind the Scenes: • Seeing the posters being put up in the cities was a surreal experience. 🤩 • The press tour was thrilling and brought us a lot of attention 📸 • I had the privilege of meeting amazing Vietnamese artists like Le Brothers, whose works and stories are truly inspiring. 💡 Special thanks to Matthias Ritzmann for the fantastic real-life photoshoot. Combining his photography with my #AI prompting skills, we created a unique blend of reality and artificial intelligence for the campaign’s keyvisuals. I am also deeply grateful to my sparring partner Christin Marczinzik within A.MUSE – Interactive Design Studio for the unwavering production power on this project. 💪 It’s been a fascinating journey, and I am excited to see what the future holds with the new capabilities of ChatGPT 4.o and Midjourney ✨💖👩🏻🎨 Thanks to everyone who has supported us on this creative journey, especially the Art Foundation Kunststiftung Sachsen-Anhalt and it’s Director Manon Bursian. 🫶 #BlickZumHimmel #Art #Design #CulturalDialog #responsibility #AI #PromptEngineering #Creativity #ArtificialIntelligence #Gratitude #Halle #Leipzig #Magdeburg #moderndenken

I’m currently leveraging my new favorite tool, ShapesXR to develop an #AugmentedReality campaign aimed at enhancing nature and active tourism along the stunning Elbe River bike path in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. In this brand experience, the bike path magically unfolds from a humble jute bag—a practical and sustainable accessory. As it unfurls, it reveals the diverse highlights and hidden gems of the region, inviting you to discover the wonders of the Elberadweg and boosting its recognition. Here’s a little sneak peek of my work in progress. In this video, you can join me on a collaborative design journey with Christin Marczinzik. We’re not just sketching ideas; we’re bringing stories to life, inspiring and informing in a way that moves beyond traditional paper and flyers. ShapesXR has truly transformed my workflow, making rapid prototyping as intuitive as sketching your ideas into the space around you. The passthrough mode is really incredible! It opens up vast opportunities for us XR designers and directors to explore #MixedReality concepts within real environments. If XR design sparks your interest, or if you’re looking to elevate your projects with some fresh perspectives, I’d love to connect and am open to new adventures.
