iF concept design award 2013 - Entry details 1.) JARPET (262-122976) Category: 01.05 industry / tools / machines / robots Electronic Pet Children are driven by strong curiosity, and they are especially passionate in observing the nature. However, the fast urbanization process has kept children far away from natural environment, leaving them little contact with various animals. JARPET projects the 3D images of pets, and can interact with kids by multi-sensory technology. Close observation helps children to know about animal behaviors and habits, and develops their passion for the nature. Compared with keeping a real pet, this way costs less and consumes less.When children feel lonely and bored, JARPET is a good companion.

Levitated Interface (262-122504) Category: 01.03 audio / video / telecommunications / computer / technical solutions Tangible Computer Interface Imagine a physical object that can float and move freely in the air, unconstrained by gravity. ZeroN is a new interaction element that can be levitated and moved freely by computer in the mid-air space to represent 3D information. Users are invited to place and move the ZeroN just as they can place objects on surfaces. They can place the sun above physical models to cast digital shadows, place a planet that will start revolving based on programmed conditions, or play 3D tangible pong. To realize such a space of zero-gravity, we developed a magnetic and mechanical control system and an optical tracking system.

Natural Breath (262-121935) Category: 01.07 furniture / home textiles / fabrics Window This novel practical window frame consists of window frame, air screen and engine body; The air outlet and air intake of the engine body both have air screen. Wind blows in from the air intake of exterior wall, and then passes through air screen. Afterwards, the engine body increases the air volume. Finally, wind gets to the window frame, By using Coanda Effect the ,outdoor natural air is pulled into indoor. That make indoor full of natural air and pleasant odor Design agency ZheJiang University WangHaoxun ChenHongyu LiuEnmao SunXin WangBixiang WangWei HangZhou, China University ZheJiang University HangZhou, China iF concept design award 2013 - Entry details 5.) möbel kombinat (262-121924) Category: 01.07 furniture / home textiles / fabrics furniture system series Pure-material design, easy construction and deconstruction through toolless montage, the replaceability of sperate parts in case of a defect and especially a simple and reduced formal language characterize the design. The central element of that furniture series is an universal connection piece, the ,furniture-feet', in which the steel frames are sticked into. The connection form defines the character of the design and gives it the stability. The series captivates through its nobly restraint, its self-explanatory functionality and its long-lasting asthetic.

Wacker Neuson Comb (262-121491) Category: 01.05 industry / tools / machines / robots Dumper The operational procedure of a conventional dumper is very inefficient. The consequence of the permanent dwell time is a massive loss of time. It would be desirable to have an efficient flow of work without dwell times. The idea of a dumper equipped with a mould-changing technology, which is full self-reliant and works completely independently, is based on these difficulties. The COMB is a new dumper for the professional use in the construction building industry. The combination of an autonomous GPS control system and an innovative mould-changing technique allows a new work process, which substantially improves the dumper's efficiency.

Manifest Blood Bag (262-121434) Category: 01.10 medicine / health+care Blood Bag From any aspect of blood transfusion should be very carefully executed. Any error or neglect could cause death or unexpected infection.It is extremely important to receive correct blood bag before transfusion. This design is to apply the antibody and antigen technology on the test strip and embedded in the blood bag package. When the blood was filled into the bag, the interior layer of test strip react with the blood to show its blood type such as A, B, O, or AB on its package. The rapid response by test strip is convenient to display the correct blood groupings that enable the medical personnel make right and quick judgment.

Slide-hole (262-120757) Category: 01.05 industry / tools / machines / robots lock There are two situations would c the keyhole. 1. People who have hand trembling problem. ( Parkinson's Disease or the aged ). 2. It might waste much time to put the key into the keyhole in the dark situation Changing the shape of the part around the keyhole, the shape looks like funnel, when we want to open the door , we just need to put the key into the part around keyhole and push it straight , the key will slide into the keyhole. By this way , people could put the key into the keyhole more easily . ause problem when we putting the key into Design agency Tatung University KUAN YOU LIN BIN HAM CHAN SUNG YU TSAI Taipei, Taiwan University Tatung University Taipei, Taiwan iF concept design award 2013 - Entry details 9.) multi tube (262-120302) Category: 01.02 leisure / lifestyle / sport+outdoor Rescue tube When accidents happen on the sea, the number of lifebelt prepared for unexpected situation is not enough compared to the number of victims. Because of it, the number of disappearance and death of victim is increasing. To resolve this matter, we propose "Multi tube" which can rescue five persons at the same time. If victims press the push button built in the main tube, they can rescue another victims. Besides, the location of multi tube can be easily found at night through its light. That is, this is a concept tube which increases efficiency five times with one tube and minimizes the volume one-fifth.

Easy Plug (262-120068) Category: 01.03 audio / video / telecommunications / computer / technical solutions plug and socket "Easy Plug" is a plug and also socket which can plug in with any angle by the annular magnetic electrodes. Once the plug getting close to the outlet, magnetic force would lead user to easily plug in. With this creative thought, we are aim to solve the disadvantage of traditional socket which can only plug in specific direction.
