Concept
Takamol needed to communicate a large volume of data — statistics, platform features, workforce journeys — to exhibition visitors in a compelling and accessible way. The challenge wasn't just displaying information. It was making it feel alive.
Context & Constrains
Text-heavy content
The source material was dense — data, stats, platform info, images. The design had to make it scannable and engaging without stripping meaning.
No physical touch
Laser touch wasn't possible on a curved screen. LIDAR sensors mounted above the installation were used instead — simulating the laser-touch effect through hover detection.
Two screens, one system
The curved LED and floor display had to work as a unified experience — content on one screen had to respond to and complement what was happening on the other.
Interaction FLow
Exploration & Iterations
Early designs were visually rich but cognitively heavy — too much competing for attention at once. Iterations moved toward stronger hierarchy, larger type, and motion-driven reveal to guide the eye across the curved surface.
Final Experience
The installation was exhibited at Global Labour Market Conference 2026. Visitors navigated Takamol's digital labor market ecosystem through hover gestures — no instructions, no physical contact. The floor and curved screen responded in sync, creating a unified spatial experience that drew consistent engagement throughout the event.

Reflection
This project taught me that designing for data-heavy content isn't about showing everything — it's about deciding what earns the user's attention at each moment. The LIDAR constraint turned into the most memorable part of the experience: an interaction model that felt intuitive precisely because it asked something of the user.
