After all the debates about the metaverse we had to think about a solution for our project. For me that was really difficult from afar but I've done my best to actively participate (in meetings and documentation)
What is design challenge?
What is the main research question?
What is our solution?
Assignment
Seat is looking for a solution to engage with more clients with integration of the metaverse in mind
What was the common between the automotive industry and the metaverse? Well a lot of things, one of which was customization ability. The metaverse would allow the user to play around with the cars properties - interior options, exterior color, whether it would fit in the garage or in the driveway for a bigger SUV etc.
Of course, I wouldn't have been able to participate in the recording of the video my colleagues made in order to validate our prototype but I could actively help them with the brainstorm and documentation.
The final proof of concept we came up was as follows: "The final concept we came up with is called: Meta Sim Racer (MSR), MSR is a race simulator hosted in the metaverse that’s unlike any other existing race games or simulation. You can bring your own car that you own in the physical world to race against your friends."
Formatting the document, adding the ideas in a single place, thinking about the business side and benefits of our solution was mostly my input on the project on the right.
