"This exhibit shows how data mining, personal genomics and machine learning can be integrated into our daily lives. Instead of having to go to the clinic or doctor, healthcare and wellness would be integrated right into your daily meals and activity. The goal is to provide better diagnosis and more holistic healthcare at home, with a focus on preventative care and comprehensive wellness.
Visitors stand in front of a simulated bathroom mirror that provides data and information about their lives and interests. Information on the user’s diet, physical activity and social experience is used to simulate virtual doctors, who provide feedback on minor ailments and conditions before they occur.
The mirror prompts participants with advice about their healthcare, nutrition and physical activity, then integrates treatments into their daily meal and activity. Algorithms and tele-surgery will provide more specialized input for serious conditions, with an emphasis on personal interaction and the human touch."

The entire exhibition was conceptualized and designed by Tellart, with collaborators Fabrica, The Institute of the Future, Superflux and many others. Being an Industrial Designer at Tellart gave me the opportunity to work on some interesting aspects of the exhibit which I will share below.
Within the Home Health exhibit I was responsible for completing a design rush to conceptualize and articulate the overall design and specification of the Home Health mirror.

Cardboard mockup to understand appropriate scale.
Works-like model to prove that a screen could be placed behind a two way mirror effectively as well as understanding hand print placement and size of sink.

Test render to understand overhead illumination and to prove it would not interfere with the mirror interface.
In-situ renders with initial design and first round material choices for communication to client.

Exploded view of the Solidworks model used to convey specifications to the Italian fabricators, Atelier F. Too many dimensions to show here so I figured this would sum it up.
Final built and installed sinks in Jumeirah Hotel Dubai (UAE Government Summit). Four sinks in total. Final materials consist of carrera marble, two way mirror glass, mahogany and brushed stainless steel.

Image of the interface and sink being interacted with. Once your hand is place on the hand sensor, you are virtually "scanned" and your diagnostics visualized. When you simulate washing your hands, the sink lights up with blue LED's and running water sounds emit.
Closer detail.
