Duun: Enhanced Sand Dune Riding Experience

Sand dune riding is a sought-after and exhilarating recreational activity, yet aspects like safety, sustainability, and accessibility warrant improvement. According to the Council on Environmental Quality, over the course of three-years, there was a 27% increase in disturbed soil in one singular area due to off-road vehicle use. Minimizing this ecological impact through a sustainable approach is vital for preserving these fragile environments. Harsh climates and challenging terrains underline the need for enhanced safety measures. The North American, Middle Eastern, and Australian terrains pose accessibility challenges due to their location and characteristics. To enhance sand dune riding, multifaceted research, including observational studies, interviews, and surveys with tourists, professionals, and environmentalists, gathers diverse insights. Quantitative and qualitative data analysis aids in understanding unique challenges. Iterations, prototyping, and testing, guided by user feedback, explore solutions focusing on safety, ecosystem preservation, environmental harm reduction, and improved accessibility. The research aims to comprehensively enhance the sand dune riding experience, recognizing the need for an integrated, sustainable, and accessible approach.
