New times: agility, digitalization and creativity

New time-saving digitisation and creativity. New time streamlined digitization and creativity. The SPARK H2020 Project is part of the current trends to streamline processes and decision-making through carefully thought out methodologies in a software environment that aim to deliver value on a regular basis to the product and services, prioritizing the benefits for users.

Although there are agile management tools to align the different phases of development projects with the day-to-day, the introduction of Spatial Augmented Reality allows establishing sessions with all the agents involved in decision-making in a continuous way and in a creative environment, becoming a specific digital tool when generating value for the creative industries.

The SPARK H2020 consortium collaborates with SONY on the Future Experiences program where Sony shares its R&D expertise with users and developers to explore new technologies and co-create new lifestyles.

The members of the SPARK H2020 consortium: POLIMI (Politecnico di Milà, IT), ARTEFICE (Artefice Group, IT), GINP (Grenoble INP, FR), VISEO (Viseo Technologies, FR), AMS (Antwerp Management School, BL), BATH (University of Bath, UK) and STIMULO DESIGN (Barcelona). The role of Stimulo, we have focused on the definition of methodologies of the design process, as well as case studies that have allowed the research teams to apply analysis metrics focused on improving the platform from the point of view of user experience.

The project has been funded by the European research and innovation program Horizon 2020, so that its results can be commercially exploited across the continent.

  • Packaging is all around us

    Stimulo is a design and innovation agency that is part of the packaging cluster, an association of 75 Catalan members that represent the entire value chain of the field, from R&D to end users. Through this association, innovative projects are promoted and disseminated through its own channels and specialised press. The participation in this cluster allows Stimulo to cover needs of the value chain that were not covered before.

  • New limits for Augmented Reality

    The article discusses Augmented Reality (AR) technology and how it can be used to improve co-creation and product design. The SPARK H2020 collaborative platform, a European project, offers a tool that allows designers and clients to interact in real time to create more accurate solutions that are evaluated by end users. AR technology is used to streamline project execution, removing communication barriers and allowing multidisciplinary teams to iterate within the creative process and see changes to prototypes in real time as the design evolves. This reduces the time and human resources required to achieve the final product, and increases business productivity. The SPARK platform focuses on user needs and expectations, and interviews and tests are conducted to better understand the dynamics of co-creation and the interaction between people and prototypes. Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR) technology can be used to visualise and modify the digital representation of a product or packaging in a real environment directly on the physical prototype, without the need for special eyepieces or other devices. The SPARK platform uses visualisation and interaction modules based on gesture recognition techniques to provide an intuitive and easy-to-use work environment. The developers have worked to select and validate the most appropriate technologies and techniques for the SPARK platform and have used feedback and evaluations to improve the system.

  • Cocreation, what are we talking about?

    This is an article that addresses the issue of co-creation, which consists of involving customers in the process of designing and creating products, through collaboration between the company and the customer in order to obtain a better competitive position. This methodology seeks to improve the user experience and the participation of customers in the definition of products. The SPARK H2020 project is part of this current trend of streamlining processes and decision-making through methodologies provided by the software environment. In this sense, the introduction of the SAR makes it possible to establish sessions with all the people involved in decision-making on a continuous basis and in a creative environment, becoming a specific digital tool for generating value for the creative industries. The SPARK H2020 consortium collaborates with SONY within the Future Experience programme where Sony shares its R&D knowledge with users and developers to explore new technologies and co-create new lifestyles.
