Drawbacks: Slight bulk makes it difficult to carry; Obstructs sound; Needs to be removed during food intake

What is the trend of adorning in the future? Heavy make-up? Heavy jewleries?

Exceedingly diverse range of accerseries devided by function, part to wear, material or weight? No! The jewelry of the future is envisioned to be one which embodies a blend of these defining features into one that is easy to don, aesthetically pleasing and widely customizable.

B rainstorming Back during my childhood, FLYING SHOES were very popular amongst friends. However, they were difficult to balance and skating distances were very limited.

On the consumer market, There are two main types of roller skates

Long long way for WALKING, There's no TIME...

I'm too TIRED...

IN-LINE Easy too control, Large unsightly wheels difficult to conceal

What if there is a pair of Roller Skates,

DOUBLE-ROW

Or a Skateboard,

Difficult to operate Needs skillful users

Or even a Scooter...

Combing thoe features, The best apperance could be

Enough height to fill in the wheels

04

But it's too hard to carry & keep it What if there is a pair of roller shoes Combing these functions

But it's Too elevated & hard wheels embedded cause discomfort while walking

Regarding the sports shoes from other famous brands

Three layer sole 1. floding, 2.buffered, elastic 3. soft, pliable

es o h S

Split the soleEasy to walk anti-skid

S ole -Ergonomic consideration Comfortable-Soft & elastic materials; Supporting-Nondeformable & buffered effects

I nstep Curving toeEasy to lift

Foot fitting-Soft; Perspiration-Breathable

R oller Turning smoothly-Fair material & Maintenance Supporting-Hard enough

B utton -Push to lock & unlock the wheels

M aterial S cheme 2: F ashion

Connection-Spring/Lever; Without directly touching the wheels-Hygeian

Easy to walk-Light; Healthy-Environmental consideration

W heels Supporting the whole body-Right place, hard enough Medium size-One skate far enough; suitable to set in the splitted parts; Turning smoothly-Fair connection with the roller

Rotate the Equatorial Ring to get the current Solar terms: spring equinox, autumnal equinox, summer solstice, winter solstice etc... (depending on the distance between direct sunlights shinning piont and the equator)

M odern A rmillary S phere In the past hundreds of years, Astronomy, celestial observations and Calendar recordings have occupied an irreplaceable role in ancient Chinese culture. Of them all, the Armillary Sphere is the most accurate representation of an astronomical instrument.
