Each slide was timed to about 20 seconds each. The original dialogue was originally two hours and edited to about 15 minutes. Each person in the group was given a 30 minute set to edit to about 3 to 4 minutes. The dialogues focused primarily on Sheppard and Greenfield’s concept of urban computing and ambient informatics.

Open Ego is a pop-up store module designed specifically for the shopping activity taking place in Tokyo's narrow alleyways. The shop is made of translucent glowing panels with cut-out shapes that can be used as shelves, stools, displays, hangers etc., and that can be compacted to cubic piles of high mobility. Below is a set of slides articulating the concept and exploring the forms it may take. All the members participated in every step of the creation, while I focused more on the visual design. - Ina Xi
