The Loop Computer - The Loop Computer is a futuristic concept that completely eliminates environmental wastes produced by discarded computers. The design takes advantage of the possibility of fast polymer transistor printing technology and hypothesizes a vision for the future. The Loop Computer constantly prints new processors while melting down the old transistors into raw polymers. The polymers used in this printer are in a closed loop and thus no waste would be produced.
BC180 Basketball Chair - The BC 180 Basketball Wheelchair allows the player to turn and stop without the use of his/her hands. The molded seat sits on a universal joint that is attached to disk brakes in both cambered wheels using three leather tethers. The player would be able to turn left/right by leaning in the corresponding direction of turning. The player can also stop the chair by leaning backwards. The BC 180 would be built on a carbon-fiber frame that delivers ultimate control, speed and comfort.
Magno - The Magno is a three-dimensional arcade. Each user occupies one end of the Magno table. Four joysticks are provided to control four Magno characters on the game surface. The players would have the ability to move and turn the characters freely. The central button in the joystick controls the magnetism of the characters. When the button is held down, the Magno character becomes magnetic for a few seconds (depending on the game), and the magnetism can be used to carry and move objects (such as a soccer ball). Combining with the movement, turning of the Magno characters, the magnetic button can make Magnos do great tricks
H2O Snow Cleaner - The H2O Snow Cleaner is a robotic snow cleaning vehicle for the future. The vehicle can memorize the landscape of the owner's driveway and sideway, in order to remove snow without human operation. Snow is grinded and collected in the attached container. A percentile of the snow would be evaporated upon heating and the rest would turn into water. When the container becomes full, the owner would be alerted and can detach the container for draining.
TunnelVision - TunnelVision is a collaborative project with the UIUC architecture students. The goal was to transform an underground pathway of the library into a more enjoyable space. The final design included redesigned furniture, new object arrangement and an optional extended design into the nearby cafe area. Color, form and composition worked together to communicate a warm, homely feeling for the underground space.
