Artificial Design – Route Master AI

"Artificial Design" was a course offered during the summer semester 2023 at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, taught by Prof. Dr. Sebastian Meier. The course challenged us to create a prototype for an app that leverages artificial intelligence to provide unique advantages beyond what existing apps on the market offer.

For my final project, I developed a prototype of the app "Route Master AI", designed to revolutionize the cycling experience. Using artificial intelligence, the app generates personalized routes based on user preferences, fitness levels, and real-time conditions, such as traffic and weather. A key feature is its AI-powered voice assistant, which provides dynamic updates and recommendations during the ride. This project was a hands-on exploration of how AI can enhance everyday activities and create innovative, user-centric solutions.

Key Achievements

• Conceptualized the prototype for the "Route Master AI" app, enhancing cycling experiences through personalized AI-powered routes.
• Included real-time updates on traffic, weather, and road conditions.
• Envisioned fitness tracking to adapt routes based on exhaustion levels.
• Gained experience with Figma and Adobe Premiere Pro for design and storytelling.

Technologies Used

• Figma: For prototyping and UI/UX design.
• Premiere Pro: For creating the promotional video.

Challenges and Learnings

One of the most challenging aspects of this project was learning to work with Adobe Premiere Pro for the first time to create the app's promotional video. While it was exciting to experiment with video editing and storytelling, it was also a steep learning curve.

The project offered valuable insights into designing AI-based applications and the power of storytelling in design. These skills continue to help me in current creative projects.
