In modern aircraft, the aisle is only a narrow 19 inches, when the cart is passing through the way is effectively blocked causing inconvenience or in case of an emergency, tragedy.
19 inch
put above the aisle
please sir !
excuse me
If a passenger needs to walk to the restroom the cart may be lifted to give way.
area can pass through
area can not pass through
Go ahead sir !
Excuse me, I'd like to pass.
SCENARIO In this case, if someone want to pass when attendants are working, attendants can just raise the traies. So passengers can pass through easily.
Push ahead By pulling down the handle, flight attendants can go ahead with the cart, if there is an emergency or someone in need of service, the brake is automatically activated when the attendant is not pushing the cart.
Stop to service If there is someone in need of service, the attendants will press the button on the front of the cart, thus pulling it down to get the meal.
Brake!
the brake system makes the cart steadier and safer
Release!
pull down the handle to gear the mechanism system, thus releasing the brake.
Brake Device & Handle
Ergonomic
The brake makes the cart steadier and safer when overhead, avoiding collapse caused by turbulence. The breaks are automatically activated when the attendant is not pushing the device.
This design also benefits the ergonomy of the attendants. When getting things in or out of the cart they need not bend down, thus avoiding long term occupational injuries.
Installa�on method
1. put and lock the cart on the increased machine.
2. press the button to raise the cart.
3. the cart will connect to the rails on the top.
Loading
Finish
the cart can be safely stacked, saving the transportation space.
in the whole flight journy, the cart not only give passengers a good experience but a friendly working environment to attendants.

In addition, the design of the product intended to test image, so that the elderly can have youthful vigor.
CITY, WELL-EXECUTED, STRONG. A. has strong outline.
IDEATION The design originally TOYOTA COMS frame into two-seat, rear-seat center must be in the rear center of gravity, after several discussions with the factory, it changed the original frame, and according to human factors engineering, adjust the seat, sight glass, rear width, throttle and other locations.
B. more mellow,
, richer, round.
C. has a well-executed body,
D. has filament line
The form follow 4 principles to design, we hope that forms can match the imapge what we search for and can catch one’s eyes.
INTERIOR IDEATION My main work toward the 3D model is about the rear interior, that I follow what we have formulated in the ideation of car modification, we used 4 principles to link inside and outside, making it more harmonious.
Car seat, I followed the racing car seat, but make it more supple, but also have link the all shape.
I made this model by Autodesk Alias, and I learned many knowledges about the skills and surface-mading, ergonomics, by which I can also used in other works about design. Absolutly, this project make me better.
PREPARE FOR MANUFACTURING In each of the communication with factory, and vendors get a lot of new knowledge and communication, in addition to other factories to find parts, but also understood that the manufacture of various standard and professional. EV skeleton also successfully produced by 3D model, we hope to prototype production to confirm.
PROTOTYPE PROTOTYPE our products to 3D printing machine printed, to narrow the ratio of 1: 5, we find out the results of our measurements of space and similar, is to allow access to the rear seat passengers, this result allows us to communicate at the time and the plant is very smoothly. Prototype produced by this contact has never dabbled in the field. This project will continue to make a real car, there are many needs of local efforts.
ELASTIC BRUSH Elastic is a hair brush that solve the problem of hairy brushes. There is a cleaning plastic sheet with Elastic, the appearance of it is like number 8.

1min
17min
According information, most people have not patience to waiting about 17minutes. Due to peoples` psychology and physical elements, we feel tired and uncomfortable. Waiting too long is not healthful for us.
IDEATION Concerning the universal design concept, when there was no user, the chair height is 80 cm, all users can sit down easily from stand. When the users sit down.
SOLUTION Regarding this issue, we design Queue Chair. We add a flexible chair made by flexible plastic on belt barrier that can suitable for everyone. The user just need to sit vertically, then the seat will change the shape because of the material.
Flexible Plastic
1. The user just need to sit vertically, then the seat will change the shape because the material.
2. When user leaves the chair, it will returns to the original shape.
DETAILS Concerning the universal design concept, when there was no user, the chair height is 71 cm, all users can sit down easily from stand. When the users sit down, the seat height becomes 40 cm. It makes elderly and tired people can rest for a while. When user leaves the chair, it will returns to the original shape.

DESIGN SCENARIO
TOPIC : WATER RESOURCE
RAIN POWER This is my first time participating in Workshop that MIT Media Lab held, it is a special experience we can learn about some new way to think, and nimbly use design thinking as they do, I think this workshop make me mature in thinking. In Taiwan, public water station is not widely adapted by people, and the reasons are mainly assumed to be the failure of "social image" and "purifying system". We are planning to build up a system of city water stations for this dry year.

2015 WATER SHORTAGE Water pipe old / Water tower – bacteriat People have no confidence in public water dispenser
IDEATION First, we would like to enhance user experience and sense of security, from the perspective of product design, by making the process of purification transparent. Second, we would build up a business model for the system. It would cost less, and be much easy to educate people as then can see the cooperation of designers, inventors, and the government.
SYNTHESIZE A BIG IDEA New resource for drinking
Collect locally Use locally
transparent Process
Connected to community
We create a new water dispenser which collects the rain water and transforms it into drinking water. Also, it is an interactive installation which creates a new experience between people and water. What: Water Dispenser Who: Exerciser, Walker When: Non-rainy Day / Rainy Day Where: Exercise yard. Ex: Riverside park, Da-an park Why: To provide drinking water How: Collecting rainfall → Precipitation → Purification → Drinking
PROCESS
DEVELOPMENT
In Taiwan , there’s abundant rainfall which can’t be fully used. Over 80% of rainwater flows into ocean because of geographical features �– short river and steep terrain . The rainfall spreads unequally in cities from season to season .
Place the rain power station in public space.
