Amazon X Lab
*The Future Ambient Home

Amazon X Lab was exploring how screens might evolve as communication tools within a future ambient home, “AmH”. I worked with a team of speculative designers to forecast the relationship between technology and household to develop product concepts for a 5-8 year future state.

With Amazon’s product catalogue as a jumping off point, we researched and developed concepts for how people might live in the home of the future, exploring practical questions like ‘how could we enhance the already technological system of the home?’ and emotional questions like ‘how could we support intergenerational connection?, or ‘how might technology in the home support rest?”

We paired a range of emerging display technologies with guiding principles like “beautiful on and off” and “never assume consent” to create concepts that allowed ourselves and our client to imagine preferable applications of new technologies in one of the most sacred spaces, and design not just for
a single user but a family.
