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, engaging and capable of conveying subtle emotions like thought, confidence, humour and disagreement. We covered various 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 potential ideas, the Perception team provided me with a design represented by a capsule shape with a fluid stored in its container to allow for speech wave visualization. I helped with some motion tests experimenting with different types of language and behaviour.
