Riquadro – Contextualisation device
Giving context to visual project data.
✦ Is it possible to intuitively merge the physical and digital design workspaces?
Most product development processes involve repeated evaluation of digital models via rapid prototyping and other means of digital to physical translation. While each technique provides specific advantages, they all introduce a great degree of friction in the whole process in the form of time requirements, material and scale limitations and costs. Riquadro is a concept for a dedicated product design tool complementing the design evaluation process, by providing a bridge interface to the digital design workflow and a subset of activities typically found in a professional design environment.
