Interaction is the new learning experience

The Th-Ink Table was created in a group project for the 2025 Hult Prize competition.

I was involved in every step of the design process. I focused mainly on creating a 3D model of the table, its surroundings, and how it would look in a realistic student study setting.

The idea for the design came from the need to use less paper and be more environmentally friendly. The table has a low-energy e-ink display that feels like paper, along with a stylus, buttons, and a keyboard for easy use. The design includes a storage area for students' belongings, a height adjustment system that can be set using a crank, and hooks for hanging things like umbrellas. The table's design focuses on ergonomics and comfort, with adjustable angles that can be customized for each user. It also has a privacy screen that darkens the display from certain angles to prevent cheating during exams.

I started working on this project in 2025 with a colleague.

The model was made and put together using the Blender software.
