Ecolution

Project Description

Acting as project manager and head of the behavioral design team, I collaborated with four other designers on this 8-week speculative design project.

Problem

The pandemic took a toll on humanity and left many of us feeling anxious and lonely. These emotions cause an increased stress response in our body and have an adverse affect on humans’ mental health and well-being.

Insights

Settling on the island would not only be costly, but it would also disrupt the flourishing ecosystem that can only be found on MS-DOS.

Solutions

Ecolution is an interactive VR game that uses MS-DOS island to simulate the impacts of global warming. The game implements behavior design methodologies to nudge players toward sustainable living and a healthier state of mind. Is MS-DOS Island a metaphor, or does it actually exist?
