Lumigrids While Cycling

Posted in: An Pengcheng, Cai Jing, Du Tao, Li Ke, Liu Zhenghao, Lumigrids, Prof. Gan Jing, Zheng Yuemei

Lumigrids is an LED projector for bicycles that hopes to improve safety during night riding. It projects square grids onto the ground and by observing changes in the grids, the rider can easily comprehend the landforms ahead. Lumigrids can be fixed onto the bicycle’s handlebars and the power is supplied by either an internal battery or by the rotation of the bicycle’s wheels.

As the designers explain, on a flat road surface, the grid will consist of standard squares. On a rough road surface, the grids will deform accordingly. By observing the motion and deformation of the grids, the rider can intuitively understand the landforms ahead. In addition, the luminous grids can make it easier for nearby pedestrians and vehicles to notice the bicycle, reducing the likelihood of collision.

Lumigrids has three modes with different grid sizes that can be used to adapt to different situations: normal mode (140x180mm), high-speed mode (140x260mm), and team mode (300x200mm).

Delete My Schedule

Posted in: Chen Yi Lin, Delete Clock, Li Ke, Pang Sheng Li

Really love this simple Delete Clock, offering us an innovative way of planning our day and keeping with schedules. The whiteboard surface is good for jotting down notes and tasks, plus the fact that the schedule gets erased when the clock hand sweeps the face, is very poetic indeed.

Designers: Li Ke, Pang Sheng Li & Chen Yi Lin

Pen Translators For Better Understanding

Posted in: Ivy Guide Mini, Li Ke, Shi Jian, Sun Jiahao, Translator

The Ivy Guide is a unique device that fits over any pen or pencil and scans words for translation. Basically it helps you understand the language better and makes comprehension easy. It is rechargeable via USB and adapts to your grip with ease. With international students crossing borders and the global community shrinking, this could prove to be a beneficial device.

Saving The Sinking

Posted in: Li Ke, LiuYi, Meng Luhua, Safe Guard, Water Buoy, Xu Wei

The Safe Guard is a life buoy to be used by people who don’t know how to swim, but need to help rescue a drowning person. Ok, so the scene may sound complicated in your mind’s eye when you read this, but the truth is that it is a plausible scenario. The main body of the buoy is anchored to the shore and the lifesaver inflates as soon as it touches water. It’s kind of a first reaction to an emergency situation kinda thing.

The Safe Guard is a 2012 Liteon Award winner.

Designers: LiuYi, Xu Wei, Meng Luhua & Li Ke
