Renting A Car Cabin for Toddlers

BESTrip with AR-Ki

BESTrip with ARKİ is a product service system design project integrated with augmented reality technology aiming to make car journeys easier, safer and more fun for parents with babies ( 6-24 months ) and themselves. BESTrip is the product part, AR-Ki (Augmented Reality for Kids) is the service part of the system.The users rents & assembles the BesTrip product for a while for their baby for the new interactive road trips, and whenever they want, turn it back.

Problem

Design Problem : Parents with young babies experience major problems on long car journeys. Their vacation trips, which they usually take to unwind, often end with even greater fatigue. Other Pain Points; Their babies not wanting to sit in a safe car seat Especially wanting the mother to be with them and interacting with them constantly One of the parents always having to ride in the back seat Babies getting bored in this narrow space while looking for fun/games. Parents having difficulty coming up with creative games at the end of a long journey.

Designing a Sustainable Environment Using Mother-Baby-Environment Interaction

Challenge 1: While it is possible to create the desired interaction with digital interfaces / objects such as mirrors while the mother / parent is sitting in the front seat, it does not replace one-on-one interaction. Challenge 2: There should be a certain screen time limit so that it does not harm the eyes of babies. In addition, combining the virtual world with the real world allows for games to be diverse and to encounter different exciting coincidences each time. Challenge 3: Since babies grow up quickly, people may not want to buy expensive technologies because they only appeal to a certain age group. The aim is to solve all these problems by establishing a Product Service System like in the images.

Solution

Especially babies between the ages of 0-18 months should be in the car seat backwards for safety reasons during the journey. The car cabin environment design, consisting of an extention digital screen to be placed on the back seat, a game tray that will develop interactive and tactile experiences and motor skills, a transparent screen placed on the rear window and a screen in front of the parent riding shotgun to interact with the child, aims to establish a child-environment-parent relationship. AR technology is located on the screen used on the car window, and will be able to introduce objects outside to the child, count objects such as trees, colors, and add coincidences to the journey, making the journey of the baby and the family more colorful.
