With the emergence of innovative technologies in the Age of Information, the conceptions and scope of Industrial Design is changing. Industrial designers no longer simply create static products, but are increasingly responsible for the design of interactions, the creation of platforms for open-innovation, and everevolving preformative products.
Focus on small interactions that you can facilitate and improve. Through iterative forms of prototyping, design and the creative use of new interactive smart technologies, make these small interactions, meaningful, affective, magical or provocative through the development of
networked objects.
DESIGN AS PLATFORM.

If your life was a book what kind of book would it be and what would it say?
Mystory explores the idea of how all the information imported in our smartphone through apps can be used to create a scenario, a book, a story of the user's life. The longer the user has the application and the more applications it is allowed to have access to, the more sufficient the story becomes.
Our smartphone knows everything about us. Every day we use numerous applications that import different information about our daily activities on our phone. What time we woke up, the places we have been to, the duration of our activities, the people we have interacted with, our steps, our tastes, our likes, our dislikes. The more applications we use, the more our smartphone knows about us.

The outcomes from the dreamscaping method helped in defining the three basic types of books provided by mystory. All the infromation uses in the samples presented
in the examples are based on information my story could receive from online platforms or information on your phone.
In the first example(comic) my story created an avatar for the user and a background story depending on the location
the user spent most of their time
In the second example my story generated a diary/autobiography book using a profile picture from facebook as a cover
In the last example of novel/adventure, my story generated a title depending on the user's step counting for 1 year and the locations visited.
2. they can choose the apps that
mystory can have access to.
1. the user downloads the
mystory app.
3. Once mystory has access to the users'
apps they can highlight stories, messages
etc that they want to be included in their book
4. The user at the end of the year can order a copy of the story to be sent to their address. The story can be previewed and edited by the user if any changes are needed.
