TOM-the Biike
TOM is a bicycle device that records riders’ biking activities, rewards riders’ with badges, and encourages riders to bike more in order to make the city more livable – less pollution, less traffic, less fuel…
Assignment 2
Connected the RGB LED to the breadboard and Arduino. I was able to control how fast the different colored lights stayed on and when they changed. I learned about setting up the wires from looking at the schematics and…
Pigeon Centered Design (PCD)
Is it possible for humans to positively effect the life experience of other non-human animals? While such a question makes some assumptions about the role of humans, it could be beneficial for all inhabitants of…
Day 3: Duck Calling w/ Arduino
Today, Gerry and I presented our Duck Calling Station that we’ve worked on for the past day. Here is the process of our non-human design project: The first lesson I tried to master was understanding…
Day 2: Arduino
Yesterday I was fortunate to have my first time working with Arduino! As seen in the picture above, a lot of the work was concentrated on working with understanding the grid and how energy is…
Day 3: Design project for non-human users
The target user in my project are herring gulls (a.k.a seagulls), which are being seen everywhere in Copenhagen. Most of the time, seagulls build their nests near the rocks or in the trees near…
INTERFACES
Signs on the roads that light up when you move towards it by car with too high speed. It shows the speed of a vehicle and so alert about speeding. Small convex dots on the pavements…
Assignment 2 (Non-human Centric Design Excersize–Bicycle n Circuits Photos
1. Notes 5 bicycles are parked in CIID’s backyard. The tyre of the bicycle on the left is so deflated that the contact area has almost doubled. The tyre of the bicycle on the right…
“Sludge” fuel cells power an Arduino board
Students came up with a great biomimicry example that may actually be relevant to the prototyping aspect of our course. They invented a series microbial fuel cells that they filled with ‘sludge’ from a canal…
2 biomimetic examples
Mercedes-benz bionic concept vehicle Design by Mercedes-benz engineers teams I can understand why they pick up boxfish as to design for low drag and rigid coefficients. I will not buy the car because it…
2 biomimicry examples
2 Examples of biomimicry Burr — Velcro I like this link between blur and velcro. I think the inspiration for this design is really bizarre. He got the inspiration from removing blur from his dog.…
Examples of Interfaces
1. Electricity Outlet The multiple buttons on this outlet confused me greatly, though I intuitively understand its safety function. Without guidance, I had to try all kins of combination of on-buttons to make it…
Examples of interfaces
Train Ticket Machine There is a language option in the main page, so it’s very helpful for me to switch the language in the beginning. When it goes to payment page, there is a clicking…
Two Biomimetic Examples
1. The biomimetic example I love – Esplanade Theatre in Singapore Singapore is a tropical country, where heat has been one of the biggest challenges for architects. Esplanade Theatre’s Durian-like design uses its mental spikes…
Examples of Interfaces
Slide You slide your finger up/down to set the alarm. Knob Turn the knob to adjust… 3D mouse A ‘mouse’ to rotate, pan and zoom objects in 3D software
Example of Interfaces
Example #1: The Window project. I arrived to Copenhagen for the first time last night at 1am. I rented a nice place for my stay during the next two following weeks. The first challenge that…
