_ Future Agile / Equipping The Future Agile Workspace
We designed a feasible product for the next generation of peripherals by bridging the gap between present and entirely screenless, remote workspaces.
Through ultrahaptics technology which enables haptic feedback in mid-air and a capacitive colour e-ink touchscreen, Logi ULTRA can adapt to any use case with specific customizable layouts to fit both user and software - especially in shared offices.
A slick design with the maximum possibility of interactions - that‘s the magic of Logi ULTRA.
Let’s talk about the number first!
Remote workers struggle in forming relationships and career development
47%
of existing jobs will move to AI and robotics by 2025
70%
of the workforce will consist of digital natives (millenials) by 2025
43%
of the US workforce is expected to be freelancers by 2020
Past and current mainstream workplaces
Where and how to work in the future
With the project “future agile working” we aimed to find design opportunities for future workspaces. We came up with a possible product solution for agile working in approximately five years. And based on our research for agile working
Working remotely is the future !!!
HOW MIGHT WE
“ creating a next generation of peripherals by considering remote working to become standard while people start to use AR, VR and multisensory technologies in their daily life. "
LOGI ultrA
The Logi Ultra is the next-generation keyboard that will be adjustable to any user and software. It is perfectly designed to be installed in shared offices where many different users will interact with the product. The keyboard will adapt to the user’s ergonomics and preferences.

Ultrahaptic feedback
Based on the ultrahaptics technology, we can see that products won’t be restricted to physical buttons and mechanics without missing haptic feedback. The evolving technology will enable much more flexible possibilities for the way we interact through peripherals.
Customized user interface
The CRAFT behind LOGI TLTRA
Form exploration
Common core
We have explored many possibilities in the design language. Through studying the current product design language of Logitech, we focussed the design language of Logi ULTRA in the following five points:
Seamless split lines
No physical buttons
Enable hidden technologies
Soft, tender surfaces
Warmer materials
The sleek and clean appearance is due to the consideration of better ergonomics to provide users with a better office experience. And the seamless product parting line also makes it more conducive to cleaning, which is what the shared office’s products should consider. Besides, we provide a colour palette for the Asian market, which is different from the dark grey combined metallic paint of most Logitech products.
