From Insight to Possibility: The Ongoing Evolution of Design

From Insight to Possibility explores human-centered design through interactive augmented reality experiences, showcasing how designers shape products, processes, and impact.

This exhibition includes augmented reality experiences that allow you to see and hear designers talking about their designs. 

The Cleveland Institute of Art was founded in 1882 as the Western Reserve School of Design for Women, in large part to enable careers in the design of decorative objects. Fifty years later, the industrial design program was created, offering the first certificate in the rapidly growing discipline. Nearly one hundred years later, the college continues its tradition of preparing the next generation of designers, with far more sophisticated methods, tools and technologies. 

From Insight to Possibility focuses on three key concepts; making designs relevant to those who use them, evolving processes for researching, designing + production, and making economic, cultural and/or environmental impact. 

This exhibition was created at the Interactive Media Lab to inspire a human-centered approach, encourage the use of technology in understanding needs, creating and presenting, while providing a reminder that we live in a physical world, where products enable experiences.
