Design Interview
What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
The core idea behind VoyEase is to create a more human and inclusive form of virtual travel. The inspiration came from a simple question: how can design help people who are unable to travel—due to age, illness, or distance—still feel connected to the world? Rather than offering another static virtual tour, we wanted to design an experience that is real-time, personal, sensory, and emotionally engaging.
What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
Our main focus was on designing an interface and interaction system that feels intuitive, emotionally warm, and respectful of each user’s limitations. We wanted to achieve more than just remote visual access—we aimed to create a sense of presence, allowing users to engage with people and places in real time through a sensory-rich, personal journey.
What are your future plans for this award winning design?
We plan to further refine the concept and explore technical collaborations to test key features such as real-time streaming and sensory feedback. We hope to build a working prototype and eventually develop an inclusive platform that can benefit real users in healthcare, elder care, and education.

- Production Technology
- The design combines minimalist futurism with emotional cues, aiming for a clear interface with warm visuals and dynamic micro interactions. It was developed through user journey mapping, prototyping, and scenario based testing. Focused on visual structure, information flow, and contextual realism, VoyEase offers a more authentic and personal interaction between people and places.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge was creating a remote travel experience that feels personal and emotionally real. It was hard to balance immersive interaction with visual clarity for users with different needs. Simulating smell was especially limited, as only a few common scents could be used. Social issues like loneliness and inclusion also pushed the design beyond functional goals.
- Research
- This design is based on qualitative research focused on making virtual travel more human and inclusive. We studied needs of people who cannot travel due to health or age through interviews and scenario testing. Tools included journey mapping and low fidelity prototypes. Results showed a desire for real time connection, emotional presence, and sensory detail. These findings shaped a more personal and accessible user experience.
- Inspiration
- The project was inspired by the increasing challenges of aging, isolation, and limited access to travel. Many people are unable to explore the world due to health, distance, or time. VoyEase reimagines remote travel as an interactive and sensory rich experience. It draws on advances in wearable devices and digital communication to create meaningful connections between travelers and real places. This approach makes exploration more inclusive, personal, and emotionally engaging.
- Project Duration
- The project was developed between January 2023 and April 2023
- Operation Flow
- Users start by selecting or submitting a place they wish to explore. A guide responds and begins a live tour using smart glasses. The traveler watches from a first person view, interacts by tapping on the screen or speaking simple voice commands, and receives sensory feedback like sound and smell. The interface adjusts at each step to keep the experience personal and immersive.
