The Product Design department at the Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano have been running PCA linked challenges as part of their Interaction Design course ‘Mediations’. For the second challenge students were required to design games that could help educate or combat misinformation about the virus’ spread and causes. The resulting outputs (as shown in the pictures) demonstrate a wide range […]
We would like to thank the organisers of Design 2020 for a fantastic virtual conference, with four papers presented by member of the group: A FRAMING OF DESIGN AS PATHWAYS BETWEEN PHYSICAL, VIRTUAL AND COGNITIVE MODELS presented by David, DEMOCRATISING DESIGN THROUGH SURROGATE MODEL CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS OF COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN REPOSITORIES and CO-WORD GRAPHS […]
The Workshop is a job scheduling tool for coordinating manufacturing in areas such as university workshops. It’s a collaborative initiative between the DMF lab’s project clean access, and industry partner CFMS. It has been developed to enable the continued functioning of University manufacturing centres by assisting the transition to more virtual interaction with students and […]
Problem Many people in the world face additional challenges created by limited mobility, physical, or mental impairment. These can make challenges of clean access under Covid-19 even more daunting. How do you avoid touching if you cannot see? How do you interact with the world in a covid-safe way, while also fighting physical impairment? It […]
The Product Design department at the Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano have been running PCA linked challenges as part of their Interaction Design course ‘Mediations’. For the first challenge, students were asked to develop kits to help people move safely in and out of their homes. The proposed designs are shown in the pictures below and provide interesting insights into […]
Project Clean Access is about providing scientifically backed solutions to help create a safer environment. This literature review focused on gathering evidence of the different modes of transmission, as well as data on how successful various intervention measures have been. The following video summarises the key findings from the literature review: For those who cannot […]
We’ve had an extended abstract published and poster presented at MicroTAS 2020 that demonstrates a proof-of-concept for a negligble cost, open-source micorfluidic device fabrication process using desktop 3D printers.
Harry has put together a video introducing material extrusion at a beginner level as part of Project Clean Access. The aim of the video is to provide the basic understanding required to provide a foundation level knowledge to the viewer, allowing them to start printing their own designs with greater success. Initially written and targetted […]
We’re pleased to say we’ve been funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering and are now in a position to officially launch Project Clean Access’ next phase! This includes working with partners in Colombia and design work within DMF and at the University of Bristol over the next few months, with lots more exciting projects […]
