CONTEXT / DESIGN IDEA
Cube is a system+product design, and a sharing platform for people who want to dispose their used computer hardware.
While the Kiosk of the Cube takes care of the hardware, the App allows you to track and share your devices while earning cryptocurrencies. The kiosk unit of the Cube is capable of several things. You can either choose to sell your hardware or donate them for the Developing Countries of the world. Thanks to these options, collection and recycling electronics and the used hardware is getting easier and much cheaper.
PROBLEM DEFINITION
Crypto's are popular
Easy-money grabs attention
People invest in mining systems
Mining is easy at first
Difficulty increases, prices drops, moods go down
Questioning your investment decisions? Yes...
Selling the instruments you invested for
Everyone is selling, values are zero
And here is our electronic waste!

APP DESIGN
Cube App is simple. It lets you go through your task in minimum steps.
Simplicity and modernist touches are combined both on the digital and the physical product. From a design perspective, this creates both tactile and visual feedback as a group of products, but more than that it aims to increase the User Experience. Only the element which you need to see is visible. Cube App does not have complex features and designs. The color combinations, fonts, and graphics are designed for fluid, fast interaction.
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Cube Kiosk works with tactile gestures. It creates a deeper and stronger relationship with the user and increases the overall experience
Rather than placing a huge touchscreen and ‘flashy’ interface designs, Cube Kiosk works with manual controls. The user experience is inspired by the Arcade Machines of the ’90s. Because controlling a product with real gestures and physical buttons creates a deeper and stronger product/user relationship. One slot controls all; according to your selection of hardware, the slot will open to its type.
