MoNa
{Mother Earth}
Duration: 4 weeks
Collaboration partner:
In a speculative future our group aimed to design a digital driver support for forest harvester, with nature as the primary stakeholder.
We got to learn about forestry methods, the conflict about our forests and having the joy to suggest a speculative yet useful operaying system.
Task:
Teammates:
Lisa Selin (me), Joel Bystedt, Mattias Nordin, Emanuel Berglund, Flora Jameson, Nina Långström
To develop a digital driver support for forestry workers, with nature as a client.
My role:
Moderator of the design process and daily planning
Project teaser
I created this video as part of a storytelling course, with the aim of putting together a
3 min long project pitch that was
engaging, informative, and teasing.
Final concept
In this video you will get a closer look at the interface and the interaction with the heads-up display.
Interviewed:
Stog-Olof Holm
Senior lecturer at the Department of Ecology & Environment Sciences, UMU
- "The climate crisis a
question of time & carbon binding solutions"
Magnus Jutterström
Business Developer,
Algoryx Simulations
- "The most effective forestry teams are those who strategically collaborates"
Daniel Ortíz Morales
Engineer, doctor in robotics
& crane developer, Cranab
- "Today it takes 2-3 years before an operator is familiar with the system"
Anja Fjellgren Walkeapää
Head of Sapmi Parliaments youth council & forestry student
- "The operators can treat the area differently from forest owners demands"
Thomas Lundmark
Professor at the Department of Forest Ecology & Management
- "Is not about if we should do forestry or not, is about HOW to do forestry"
Bane the Crane
Software in a forest harvest machine (speculative thing-interview)
- "I feel neglected when the operator doesn't follow my advices"
From collaborating digitally on a huge Miro board I would like to summarize our findings as follows:
Research key points:
After ideating and prototyping in Figma, we came up
with a final proposal for MoNa's interface:
Final concept explained:
Main learning from project:
My own knowledge about forest ecology skyrocketed & I learned about great & less-great ways of democratic collaboration methods
Possible limitation of concept:
