IBM — Project Debater

I collaborated with the talented team of Perception NYC developing different concepts, aesthetics and motion tests for one of the ambitious projects of IBM - Project Debater, an advanced Artificial Intelligence technology capable of forming and articulating arguments based on research and facts in real-time. The main goal was to create a "persona", a visual representation that was approachable and engaging but also capable of conveying subtle emotions like thought, confidence, humour and disagreement. We covered a wide variety of explorations from 2D/3D solutions to Abstract and Experimental while understanding and visualizing what felt right for the Debater.

You can learn more about the project on the Perception Website.

Capsule — Motion Tests

After exploring some potential ideas, the Perception team provided me with a design represented by a capsule shape with a fluid stored in its container.

I helped with some motion tests experimenting with different types of movements and behaviour.
