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.

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. Video: www.leejinha.com/zeron

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.

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.
