SUSA is a conceptual AI-powered companion device for Asus that explores the principles of calm technology by dampening the effects of over-stimulation.

calm technology

SUSA provides a calmer version of voice, navigation, music, photos and social media that is intentionally less image-based. Its aim is to provide a conscious alternative to the prevalence of over-stimulating, glossy, high-resolution screens.

ceraluminium

Ceraluminium is a hybrid material developed by ASUS, combining the durability of aluminum with the tactile appeal of ceramic. In SUSA, this material is used to create a tactile, immersive experience, placing emphasis on touch rather than the typical glass screen, and shifting the focus from visual to ambient attention.

calm technology for the age of AI

By minimising the emphasis on visual interaction, SUSA aims to suggest how AI could be used to shift how we interact with certain digital devices to create a more intuitive, tactile and less distracting experience.
