Fuse

Fuse was a concept-car handset packed with new sensor and actuator technologies. You could control it with finger gestures on the touchscreen, the back of the case, and the sides, and you could also squeeze the phone to interact.

All of this new capability required new interaction paradigms and ideas for compelling use cases. My role was concept design, use case development, and asset design.
