01 AquaMate SEP. 2013 - MAY. 2014 Wen Yu, Yang Yun Tze, Hsieh Ya Fan, Ku The earth is the biggest treasure to us. But nowadays, we’re facing a problem of lacking resources.

What can we do?

AquaMate is a project about being eco-friendly. We hope to help the environment with everyone’s effort. And AquaMate provides an easier way for families to do good to Mother Nature.

Orientation There’re a lot of junked resource in cities. And the cities are as if mines. What can we mine from those junk ? We aimed at household grease from kitchen waste.

Bring their own shopping bags Bring eco-tableware when go out for dinning Do recycling Avoide using chemicals

Ideas

After a series of discussion and experiments, we realized a physical way to hold grease. Thus, we focus on designing a product rather than material inovation.

We put emphasise on how to let it fit into houses as well as how to let users have better experience.

AquaMate Introduction AquaMate is a grease trap designed for household users.

There are six components in AquaMate. A lid, sieve, oil cup, tank and the main body. Special design of the oil cup lets users can take grease out without trouble. With AquaMate, every families can simply do their parts to the nature while enjoying meals at home.

Sieve / Intercepts food scraps

Oil Cup / Collects grease

Red Ring / Goes between gearse and water Indicates the amount of grease

AquaMate Product Characteristic

Working Principle There’re two tanks in AquaMate and the two tanks are connected via the passage. Because grease’s rather low density, it will float on water. With this property, water

goes to the 2nd tank and drains away whereas grease is trapped in the 1st tank, on the top where the oil cup is.

The oil cup makes users take out grease and empty it skillfully.It also avoids users from squatting down to fish for grease in the narrow place under sink.

A series of mechanisms let users run the whole system while simply rotating the oil cup. It makes sealed plug open then form a gap so water can be discharged.

02 Audio Guide & Twist Headphone OCT. 2012 - JAN. 2013 When we go to exhibitions, we use audio guide to learn information better.

And sometimes, we go by ourselves while sometimes with others. Are we going to take turn? Or to go together?

This time, we tried to figure out solutions for product that may be used by more than one person.

Orientation

According to the obervations, we listed down problems people had.

By design method, we picked up some problems and a group of people to see different situations then look for solutions.

Orientation

We noticed that people concern where their friends are once in a while if they go seperately. But it’s hard to check it if the place is crowded or if people are not just nearby.

Also, it’s hard not to happen that people talk loud when wearing a headphone since they can’t hear.

As for individual behavior, we found out that people rarely wear headphone all the time when visiting exhibitions. They tend to take a rest whenever there’s no introduction. And the elderly have problems with operating audio guide.

Don’t know where the friends are.

Are they still in this area? Are they finish?

Feel uncomfortable with wearing headphone for a long time. People remove headphone when it’s not in use

Persona

Audio Guide & Twist Headphone

People talk at a very loud volume because when wearing headphone, they can’t hear well and don’t know how loud they are.

The young generation is good at operating audio guide while the elderly are not.

Persona

However, the father was transfered to China by company. They became kind of alienated. Now, the father has came back and he wants to spend time with his daughter on weekends.

Learning how to interact with her father after being alienated for years.

Familiar with touchscreen product

In exhibition sites, he wants to know where his daughter is just for being relieved.

She feels a bit embarrased to walk along with father through out exhibitions. It makes her feel that she’s still a little girl.

He’ll not call the daughter come to see when seeing something interesting, but if the daughter is just nearby, he says to her for sharing.

She shares her thought about exhibition with her father after finish it.

03 Mini Nurse APR. 2012 - JUNE. 2012 Is it possible to combine tools to make progress of first aid faster?

Is there any chance to enhance the usage then users can have better experince ?

Mini Nurse is a project about redesign of medical utensil for first aid.

Notion One of the first aid process is to disinfect the wound before you bandage it. However, commercial available iodine solutions are hard to aim at the bottle’s mouth. You need to press the bottle to let Iodine solution drip on the cotton bud but it always drip down on the table or floor.

I came up with an idea to change to change the the flow of iodine solution. By turnning it into the opposite way, iodine solution comes from the bottom to the top. People can dip it instead of aimming at the small mouth.

Modeling

Using Process Push the body of Mini Nurse down, iodine solution comes up the the platform. Simply dip the iodine solution with cotton bud and apply to wound.

04 Spinning Tape Disenser SEP. 2011 - NOV. 2011 Tape dispenser is one kind of products that its form is its function. Usually, it has an axis for a tape and has a body for the axis.

Spinning Tape Dispenser changed the way of using tape dispensers.

By the new way to put a tape in, it gave a possibility to the form of a tape dispenser.

Orientation

There could be few different directions for developing ideas of a tape dispenser. We could think about how to build a tape dispenser at lowest cost. Or we could improve it for special users like children or nurse.

At the beginning, I didn’t set a direction. I just skeched ideas that I came up with. But later, I was interested in a new way of using a tape dispenser. I wonder is there a new way for changing tapes.

05 Comeet Oct 2013 - Jan. 2014 You Rong, Chang Yu Kai, Huang Ya Fan, Ku Jogging becomes more and more popular as it’s simple and doesn’t need a lot of equipments.

It’s common that people go jogging after work.

They run under the street light with breeze gently kissing their cheeks. However, is it safe to run at night? Is there any possibility to run not only with people but also the beautiful city?

It’s a project that we challenge to connect jogging with enviroment.
