Alter Alter is a device that projects a hologram and turns the environment around any desk or table into a workplace or a place where you can relax, read a book, and enhance your time. It allows people to set their working hours and then automatically switches scenes. The holograms also act as a signal that indicates that the workday is done.

The pandemic outbreak of coronavirus has affected many aspects of people's lives. Through digital-based ethnographic research, we pinpointed the dilemma that working people who moved from the office environments to the home environments were facing.
Alter Alter was designed for those people who work from home and for people who are not currently working from home but are willing to work from different locations than their office.

The main aim of the research was to gain a deeper understanding of how people are reacting to work-from-home situation and gauging the effects of it, and how critical factors such as cultural, economic and social influences affect this. The team:

1. Conducted in-depth interviews of over 7 people from different parts of the world (USA, India, UK, China, Japan) having different work profiles.


2. Did quantitative research using an online questionnaire that garnered over 95 responses from 18 different countries.


3. Gathered more data using different social media platforms.
