perceptions. I am influenced by a lot of philosophers in the aesthetic discipline such as Rojer Fry, Soetsu Yanagi, Jane Forsey and Arthur Danto, who try to define the term design and draw its boundaries. I act and design between those lines. What inspired you to create ViR, the VR Controller? The motivation was to break the traditional look of existing gun and pistol-like controllers and bring a more settled and elegant design that better corresponds with VR technology required. The design is based on several lines creating a dynamic silhouette, letting go of the configuration of main body and handle and bringing them together in one non-exhausted act. Where in your process do you use KeyShot? Every project demands a different process, although I always use KeyShot in order to test how the light falls on the surfaces in the early stages. Later on I use it in order to compare different colors pallets and make decisions pre-manufacture or modeling. What makes KeyShot an important tool to have? Rendering creates the power to give your design the most accurate appearance in order to make it desirable and make people feel delight and excitement. It’s also great tool for decision making, helping me determine colors, textures and the right atmosphere. What’s next for you? I recently got married to my other half, Maya Peled, who is also an industrial designer that I met in my studies. Currently, we are in the process of establishing our mutual design studio – tomaya, which aims to collaborate with great craftsmen and manufacturers to design and produce beautiful objects that will serve us and help to redefine our human concerns. What advice would you give to someone interested in doing what you do? The best advice I can give is to stay curious, work hard, and always be prepared to learn because it’s a great privilege to be a creator.
