OPPO celebrates a successful three-year partnership with Royal College of Art (RCA) as its students showcase the latest in a series of studio projects in collaboration with OPPO during London Design Festival 2021.
OPPO believes that well-designed technology should be seamlessly integrated into one’s life and adapt to needs. As the COVID-19 pandemic has swept the world, OPPO x RCA’s studio project ‘The New Extraordinary’ invites to reimagine technology for life beyond the new normal, through design, and embrace a humanistic approach to the colossal changes, a press release said.
Taking place from September 18 to 26 at 35-36 Thurloe Place in London’s Brompton Design District, MA Design Products graduates from RCA presented their findings. Highlighted projects included the collective minds of Arnau Donate Duch, Marco Da Re, and Ilayda Kal present C-Earth, a system that will help scientists and policymakers monitor the impact of climate change at a local scale; 3Doodle, a new educational platform for children to enjoy and share real-time 3D drawings and Aura, a project by Harika Adivikolanu – an interactive device and wearable system that enhances the yoga practice through tactile assistance.
“This programme is an extraordinary opportunity for us to meet, work with, and even potentially hire some of the world’s most adventurous and talented young designers,” said Jintong Zhu, Head of OPPO London Design Centre.
