This piece was an experimental design of a product that could act as a UV cleaner to slow down the spread of COVID-19. This work reflects the early days of COVID where no one was certain about how it was spread, which led to everyone asking “how can we stop the spread of this deadly virus?” One of the earliest theories that I encountered regarding the transmission of this new disease was that it could be passed on through surfaces. Thus, Vio was born. Vio was designed as a temporary solution to reduce the ease that COVID could be transmitted from one person to another. The use of the design is relatively straightforward: When an owner of this device was to enter their house, they would place any removable objects onto the conveyor belt, and Vio would disinfect the items. While this device could not stop the transmission of bacteria that humans carry in their respiratory systems, the hope for this invention was to leave surfaces cleaner and promote a more sanitary lifestyle.
