Enviison is being used to analyse dumped garbage in a forest.
Enviison
Only one case of dumped waste was reported by the municipality to the environmental police in Umeå last year. The municipality lacks the tools to determine whether dumped waste should be considered an environmental crime or littering. Many environmental crimes are therefore mistaken as littering, leaving the pollution unaddressed. Enviison uses spectroscopy to analyze whether an environmental crime has been committed and needs to be reported to the police. Using multispectral imaging to see what the eye cannot, the technology picks up low-level fluorescence and absorption in different wavelength ranges. Pollutants and chemicals that are invisible to the naked eye can now be seen and recorded.

A slider to switch between different modes, allowing you to manually switch between lens filters depending on what you want to capture with the device.

The envision scanner is synchronised with a tablet where the user can analyse the captured images and insert them directly into a report system.

The three different settings are optimized for their respective uses. Sorting large amounts of garbage, identifying invisible contamination and finding trace evidence. The system automates large parts of the report through information gathered by the device, resulting in a fast and detailed workflow.

Early sketches and cardboard prototypes to test handling with different weights and display layouts.

Adding clay to 3D printed models to iterate on the physical form language.

Assembling the final prototype with 3D printing and rubber coated parts.
