Studio research

Between client projects the studio runs its own research. Generative interfaces for agentic operating systems, where the screen is composed around the conversation instead of an app grid. Instrument clusters and head units for electric and sport vehicles. AI symbols, voice states and night modes for assistants. Smart-home launchers, transparent screens and trading apps.

Many ideas start here and later ship inside client work. The studio reel for 2025 to 26 cuts the CGI and motion side of it into one film.

AI phone OS launcher with a generative home screen, a studio research concept. There is no grid of apps. Instead, the screen's layout is arranged around whatever conversation is under way and rebuilt once the topic changes.

Agentic mobile OS concept with ride-share built in, from studio research. The AI agent maps out a day that holds a meeting, a trip and dinner. It suggests a car ride where one fits, and the person never switches to a ride app.

3D digital twin for a smart home product, a studio concept set in a seaside glass house. Home controls sit inside rooms people recognize, lit by real light. Most apps would show an abstract floor plan instead.

Automotive HMI for a wide in-car screen, a studio concept. The center of the display holds a 3D road view with the car driving on it. The instrument cluster, navigation, climate and media are arranged around that view.

Night mode for an AI assistant, a studio concept within its emotional identity. Once it gets dark, the glass sphere that stands for the assistant dims into a slow, moving wave of light. It stays on screen without asking for anything.

Voice-reactive AI symbol, a procedural 3D study built in Houdini. Inside a glass bubble, colored orbs move as the assistant picks up speech. It answers with emotion in the spot where a level meter normally goes.

Mobile data visualization card for generated interfaces, from studio research. Every card pairs a piece of analysis with the action that it leads to. The result and the next step always share one screen.

AI assistant character with a procedural face, made as studio research. The character is an orb of light with two eyes. Its expression is computed live in code, so it responds to what is happening instead of playing back a loop.

iOS app concept for managing valuable assets such as cars. Booking a service happens on one screen, next to a calendar and a 3D view of the car from above. Every booking begins from the car itself.

Digital instrument cluster concept for a sports car. A round gauge holds speed at the center, with navigation and vehicle status pushed to the sides. Contrast is set so speed is the first thing the driver reads.

Investment app concept for people who do not trade. The interface is light and minimal. A hexagonal score anchors the overview, with network and rewards placed under it. No part of the screen looks like a trading terminal.

Abstract 3D CGI film about intelligence, made as studio research, with picture and sound designed as one. A layered sculpture sits at its center and moves up and down like a sound wave. We modeled the sculpture in Cinema 4D.

GPT chat launcher concept for phones, demonstrated with travel suggestions. On the home screen, the chat input is placed along the bottom edge. Typed requests turn into trip and plan cards rather than a thread of replies.

Generative AI symbol in 3D, animated by hand as studio research. It serves as the system's visual identity and as its loading state. No outline stays fixed; color and movement hold it together across frames.

Automotive HMI studio research on digital instrument cluster layouts. Each layout tests how much information can surround the speed gauge before reading gets hard. The measure is the moment the driver's eye has to search.

Glass refraction and reflection study in CGI, made as studio research in Cinema 4D. A clear sphere of glass bends the light that passes through it. On the other side, the light splits into rainbow caustics.

3D CGI globe network animation made for brand and product presentations. A realistic Earth shows a connected world through city lights and moving currents. The usual lines and dots that mark networks are left out.

Metal credit card teaser in CGI, a concept for a premium card from a fintech. A card built in layers rises up out of a brushed metal surface. Material, light and color drive the reveal, and no benefits are claimed.

Smart home tablet launcher, a studio research concept. Media, weather, temperature and the connected car sit together in one control center. The whole home is run from this screen instead of jumping between a folder of separate apps.

Transparent display device for playing media at home, a studio concept shown in 3D. The screen is a circle of clear glass held in a simple frame. With nothing playing, the device fades almost completely into the room around it.

iPhone voice launcher UI, a studio concept. The home screen opens with the next meeting on the calendar and a short stack of voice cards. People move around by speaking in natural language, so the rest of the interface stays hidden.
