@ Recreational Mobility Device

With VR or AR (Virtual reality or Augmented reality) we are able to set the game space anywhere and anytime. All we need is the sensors to be able to detect the game space. This virtual space will be viewable with the VR goggles or Ar goggles. The game play for such an arena would be simple, as suggested from the Read more →
It may help if you had some description on this.
Hi Peer,   I've updated the graphics and added some description to the idea.   Cheers! :)

@ Chinese Style Jewelry

For this week, I start my modeling in rhino as well as some other 3D paper mock-ups.

This is how it looks when I stick 4 pieces of them together to create a cross shape 3D pendant. it appear as “happiness” in one angle and “wealth” from another.

However, my paper cutting is not refined as my scissors is too big for the Read more →

Will u be 3D printing the ring? Also, it may be good to laser cut the auspicious mock up?

Arena Design and Concept

@ Recreational Mobility Device

Arena is designed based on the concept of Modifiable Terrain and Machine Learning where the terrain “learns” the behaviour of the User and modify it’s surrounding to suit the scenario.

Reference Link: 3D printed flexible surface

Gameplay in these Arenas Include:

Capture the flag Tag Obstacle race / collecting points

Hi Gerald, Where do you think this arena will be ? I was thinking if it is at public places like parks / schools / HDB playgrounds....etc, there will be many people playing at the same time...So maybe this could be like a social activity. Maybe look into interactions between players? :)
Hi Ava, this is more of like a skate park, however cause of the number of mechanical parts in building this arena i don't think it should be advisable to put it outdoor due to weathering. However, definitely there will be a gameplay implemented that will improve social interaction and bonding. The next sketch i am going to post, will be touching on that using the VR/AR  system and it can be used outdoors or rather any empty space. :) Cheers!

@ Chinese Style Jewelry

I made some rough models for the jewelry pieces to see how it would fit on body. First I did in paper

open ring with slightly differed design. This can grab the finger more firmly.

I also made a phoenix design choker with paper, however I forgot to take photo of it so I will upload the photo when I take one…

@ Pham Nhat Binh

From previous posts, I am currently situating my product as an amalgamation between a kitchen appliance and a medical device.

On one hand, it has to be fitting in the kitchen and integrated into part of the cooking process, so as to achieve convenience and efficiency. On the other hand, it has to work like a medical device that accurately detects Read more →

@ Pham Nhat Binh

When to check for adulteration?

After changing my idea from an on-the-go detector to a home-based device that is a part of the cooking process, I did a quick study of the different stages that food goes through in the kitchen.

I realize that the later adulteration is detected in this journey, the more effort is wasted on all the steps before Read more →

LED inspirations, LEDs

@ Chinese Style Jewelry

incorporating LED to jewelry can add the elements of surprise and the uniqueness of the design. However, there might be the risk of making the jewelry into Halloween costume decoration. The design and the choice o color is very important.

take note above us a self-construct simple LED jewelry kit, which means it is possible to hide everything at the back of Read more →

Yes; we have to do it very subtly and also give the control of turing on or off to the wearer. You can also pipe the light using fibre optic technique.
