AEI-7000

Interaction Concept (IxD2) 2025

This project explores how rituals might shape future interactions between humans and intelligent vehicles. Drawing from the ancient practice of taming an eagle, the work investigates how gestures, timing, and mutual attention form a shared language between beings. AEI-7000 emerged through making as a probe to explore how gestures, attention, and response might contribute to future human-vehicle rituals. Instead of presenting a fixed interface, this work reflects on the moments in-between: how presence, reaction, and recognition might guide future human-machine relations.
