Can using a typology for classifying signals from robots when communicating with humans be useful for designing interactions? What is the best way to use this typology when designing these interactions?
The choice of materials in product design plays a central role in the sustainability of a product. The Sustainable Futures Lab has a Materials Library of Stones. Each stone contains one or more minerals needed to make our digital products and our technologies for non-fossil energy production, such as wind turbines, batteries, and solar panels. Each stone has a past, present, and future. How can we interact with these stones to make their lives visible?
Can we make people more aware of energy consumption? In other countries, people are aware of their energy use because energy is expensive or only accessible a few hours per day. How to do this in Norway where relatively cheap energy is available 24/7? In this master project, a team of students will work towards an installation in which energy consumption is visualised – and maybe even heard or felt – in a creative and informative manner.
The Sustainable Futures Lab at IFI has designed a Materials Library of Stones. Each stone contains one or more minerals needed to make digital technologies, such as mobile phones and AI, and technologies for non-fossil energy production and storage, such as wind turbines and batteries. There is also a digital version of the Materials Library. Both the physical stones and the digital library can help increase material literacy among youth in schools.
The Sustainable Futures Lab at IFI has designed a Materials Library of Stones. Each stone contains one or more minerals needed to make digital technologies, such as mobile phones and AI, and technologies for non-fossil energy production and storage, such as wind turbines and batteries. The University Library is interested in a (permanent) installation of a Materials Library of Stones.
Can we identify the values that have guided the design of digital products? In this master’s thesis project, you will investigate what values are embedded in digital products and how to make these values visible and tangible.
The choice of materials for the design of a product plays a central role in the sustainability of a product. The Sustainability Lab owns a materials library of stones. Each stone contains one or more of the minerals needed to make our digital products and our technologies for non-fossil energy production, such as wind turbines, batteries, and solar panels. Each stone (mineral) has a past, present, and future. In what ways can we interact with these stones to make their lives visible?
The Regenerative Technologies research group is working on several research projects on sustainability. We have two master thesis projects available (no longer available). This master thesis focuses on how to design a low-energy website.
