Context:
Acty prototype for ‘Boundless collaboration’. A physical token to connect with your working environment when working remotely during the pandemic.
Purpose:
The acty prototype aims to develop a concept to bridge the gap in spontaneous interactions for hybrid teams, using methods like the double-diamond and Dive approaches. Through research, ideation, and prototyping, it explores how to maintain collaboration and connection in distributed workspaces, culminating in a vision for future hybrid work environments.
Learnings:
Hybrid workspaces are becoming the norm, and tools or solutions are needed to facilitate collaboration across different time zones, cultures, and expertise. A physical token, combined with video call platforms, can foster serendipitous encounters and connect remote workers, enhancing the efficiency and spontaneity of hybrid teams.
