Peil Fordypning
Spring 2019
Oslo School of Architecture and Design
Duration: 6 Weeks
Group : August Korbøl Eriksen and Joakim Kallestad
Peil is a low threshold news service for readers 18-25 years. In the brief we got from Peil /VG they raised the question: «how can a digital news services help counteract the filter bubble?» We answered the question by proposing a news application that extended the existing Peil app.
Peil Fordypning aims to give the user a nuanced view of complex conflicts and ongoing debates. After talking to users we found that what they thought was the most important news content also is the content that is most difficult to understand. They also felt like they didn’t have enough background knowledge to keep up with certain debates. Updates from conflicts appears from time to time in the news, in the meantime they said they had forgotten what the conflict was all about.
Peil Fordypning will provide the user with background information, different arguments and aspects of the story as well as the latest news on the subject. In this way you will always have the tools you need to understand the context of the latest news updates.

‘Ildfluer’ is an esthetically pleasing interactive light installation inspired by bioluminescent organisms and nature. Users (both single and multi-player) guide a swarm of fireflies towards the light by swinging a pendulum towards it; steadily multiplying in numbers and brilliance with time.
The gameplay utilises both analog surfaces and digital tools in perfect harmony to create an immersive experience.

Spring 2018
Oslo School of Architecture and Design
Duration: 7 Weeks
Group : Aurora Fiveland, Guro Dysthe, Jon Fauske, August Eriksen and Maria Traasdahl
Miru is an exclusive healthcare service, available for privileged citizens in Oslo, year 2084. We wanted to make a discursive and futuristic project that explores the positives and negatives of new technology and how it will effect human relations and the feeling of safety.
Interaction design :
A sensor that is placed under the user’s skin will always keep track of the physical status. The user is provided with AR lenses and a tiny speaker that are both connected to the sensor. These will give the user healthcare advice and comfort.
Product design :
The autonomous ambulance drone knows the patient’s location. After arriving it releases four lifesaving robots. They locate the patient, connect together to form a stretcher and carries the patient back into the drone.
System oriented design A detailed gigamap was part of the delivery. This was to visualise our research, process and solution in context of existing infrastructure.
