Inside Smart Design's R&D on AI-Powered Devices

John Anderson, who leads the technology team at Smart Design, draws on more than twenty years in edge computing, AI, and smart sensors to explore how physical and digital design converge in an AI-driven world. Recounting projects such as the Gatorade Sweat Patch, work recognized at CES, SXSW, and the Webbys, he traces how screen technologies shifted from creative branding to user-focused design and how unique data now fuels the studio's design-thinking and prototyping process.
