THE DESIGN PROCESS
USE SEQUENCE
BIOPULSE is a ready-to-use device, it has a single analogue waterproof input port that makes the connection of the electrodes faster. The device has a cover for transportation made of neoprene and belcro that can be attached anywhere in the user´s body.
A READY TO USE SET OF TOOLS
BIOPULSE is a set of devices for sampling physiological signals. Each of them sample a specific signal (EEG, ECG, EMG, EDA, etc.). The researchers who have acquired the device will receive a set of four monitors, configured to capture the biological signal necessary for their research. Each of the devices has a capacity of 8 to 10 hours of data capture and transmission.
THE FINAL RESULT
BIOPULSE is part of the same line of development as the DAQHIBIAN. Dividing the sampling-signal capabilities into different devices allowed for a device with advanced technological features but with much less size and weight. Within the silicone body are a single push-button and an array of LED lights that are part of a user-friendly and easy-to-understand interface.

THIS IS HOW TO START
1. Unfold the back support and locate the Microsoft Surface in the O´clock Kit RT.
2. Connect the USB cable to the Microsoft Surface and to the O´clock Kit RT input port.
3. Place the sensor on the screen of the O´clock Kit RT and connect it to the corresponding input port.
THE DESIGN PROCESS
The O’clock Kit is a device developed for a software that measures the reaction time of users, such as assembly workers and commercial and air force pilots. The software is created by a US company and installed on a Microsoft Surface tablet. This tablet is contained within the O’clock Kit, which takes possession of the operational signals of the software to record and measure the reaction time instead of using the Surface´s processor.
PRINTING ONE AT A TIME
The main structural parts use novel manufacturing processes such as 3D printing of polymers. According to the current demands of the market, the manufacture of this device is much less expensive than the injection moulding processes. Likewise, the impact on the environment is reduced, since it uses completely recyclable materials and the percentage of waste is almost zero.
TOUCH SCREEN
Resistive screen to detect the response signal of the user when the stimulus is presented.
Two optical sensors detect the start signal of the test to begin measuring the time.
The two high-speed USB 3.0 input ports simultaneously connect the Microsoft Surface and the sensor to the device.
OPTICAL SENSOR INPUT OUTPUT
The two high-speed USB 3.0 output ports simultaneously connect peripherals such as keyboards, mice and printers to the device.
TIME RECORDING
Response times are marked in millisecond resolution.
SURFACE MICROPHONE
A surface microphone detects the sound made by the tap on the screen and stops the time, marking the final response time.
THE TIME BEHIND THE THE SCREEN
The measurement of reaction times in specialized software is inaccurate due to phenomena known as lag and delay in digital devices. The O’clock Kit captures the operational signals of the software through a capacitive screen, light sensors, and microphones. It also has its own processor that is responsible for measuring and recording reaction times, thus eliminating errors caused by lag and delay.
THE FINAL RESULT
The O’clock Kit is a complementary product to a specific timing software. It is designed to contain all the versions of the Microsoft Surface tablet, where the software is loaded. The device does not limit the basic functions of the Microsoft Surface because it functions as a hub for the connection of peripheral accessories through high-speed USB ports. This device is not limited on flat surfaces either, since it has its own back support that allows one to place the tablet at different angles.

INTERACTIONS NODES
The nodes of interaction considered in the design of the National Museum of Soils are three. The first is architecture and the distribution of space; the second is the user’s experience within the graphic identity of the museum; the third is the user’s ability to interact with the analog and digital devices.
A JOURNEY THROUGH THE SOILS
Without losing the technical rigor, the theoretical contents are presented for a professional public, as well as children and general audiences, and illustrate the dynamics of the soils and their vital importance for ecosystems. We distributed the contents in the museum according to their difficulty, starting with basic knowledge such as the processes and relevant factors of soil formation at the entrance. It then advances to explain physical and chemical properties, so the public can understand the classes of soil present in the country followed by its physical representation through monoliths.
ARCHITECTURAL INTERVENTIONS
The renovation of architectural spaces included lifting the ceiling, plating the walls, and changing the floor. We also calculated the amount of light needed for the area of the room and selected the light sources, we design the furniture and ephemeral architecture according to the area of the museum and its spatial distribution. We planned the route for the users inside the room according to the soil´s theoretical content.
THE MUSEUM AS A CLASSROOM
The museum was conceived as a space that can also convert into a classroom. Through digital screens, teachers can show presentations on topics related to soil science.
THE USER EXPERIENCE
The design of the visitor’s experience is based on the theory that the museum is a classroom, where users can visit temporary exhibitions on specific topics throughout the year. Children, the main audience, will use digital applications with interactive screens that complement heir knowledge of soils. As part of the museology and museography, we also designed a brand identity for the museum including logos, typography, colours, packaging, and messaging.
THE MUSEUM BRAND
Design of a brand around the museum that creates clear and appealing graphic visuals for the user during the visit.
GRAPHICAL PIECES
Graphic pieces that are supported by diagrams and illustrations effectively communicate complex scientific information about soils to common audiences.

‘S U P E R L A B’ Augustenstraße towards a community-led social lab
The Superlab is a community led social lab that double acts as a support platform to enable participatory planning and allow the community to together create their Superblock. We propose an organisational structure for the lab that is fun, social and practical, that helps in building friendships and kinship, that is democratic and deliberative, and one that is multidisciplinary and incorporates experts, businesses and students. We aim to create a people’s Superblock through a people’s Superblock that acts as a bridges between city government and local politics.
