The Royal College of Art and OPPO discuss how to make technology more human | Dezeen

The Royal College of Art and OPPO teamed up with Dezeen to host a panel discussion about how design students from the RCA are making technology more human. The panel explored a recent design collaboration between OPPO and students from the RCA's Design Products MA programme, who worked together on an exhibition of projects that address how technology can be further integrated into everyday life. Responding to the exhibition's theme of "Humanising Technology", students worked closely with the OPPO London Design Centre, the brand's design hub, to develop projects that allow technology to "flow seamlessly into one's life". Moderated by Alon Meron, Design Products tutor at the RCA, the panel discussed the philosophy behind the theme of the exhibition, which the head of the OPPO London Design Centre Jintong Zhu explained is about "humanising technology, not making humans more technological". “[OPPO] believes technology should adapt to human life and not the other way around,"  Zhu explained during the talk. "It shouldn’t scream for attention but be naturally integrated into products through design and create intuitive experiences for end users.” Read more on Dezeen: https://www.dezeen.com/?p=1536874 WATCH NEXT: Live interview with MVRDV founder Winy Maas -    • Live interview with MVRDV founder Winy Maa...   Subscribe to our YouTube channel for the latest architecture and design movies: http://bit.ly/1tcULvh Like Dezeen on Facebook:   / dezeen   Follow Dezeen on Twitter:   / dezeen   Follow us on Instagram:   / dezeen   Check out our Pinterest:   / dezeen
