I am so lucky that what I have chosen to study in college is Industrial Design. Design gave me a stage to show myself in a free way. When doing the project, although it won’t be so easy at all, I enjoy the process. No matter how hard the process is, when see the perfect result, it always give me more confidece in the end. In the process, we always have trouble of the project, in the same time, we doubt ourself as well. But in the end, when seeing the final and best solution of product, we finally can get a perfect result and the best defination of ourself. I think it’s what the design give me.

Bamboo Stool To come up with a concept design with bamboo which is from Taiwan in two weeks. Consider the characteristics of bamboo, I think the nodes and the slices of bamboo are special to me. The bamboo nodes may be the strongest part of it . And the bamboo slice is beautiful. So I take the two characteristics to make a stool.
Concept The nodes are the special part of bamboo. It is strong to hole the weight of bamboo. I take bamboo to be the legs of the stool because I think the nodes are strong enough to hold the top of the stool. And screw over the top of stool, then you could see the beautiful slice of the bamboo.

In & Out bucket Designer : Ni-Feng Liu,Tun-Wei Liang
Great!!
Buckets usually have bigger calibers than waste bins, which results in dumping the waste out of the bin. In & out bucket is designed to overcome this problem. The buttom of the bucket becomes to the trapezoidal shape.Using the larger opening to sweep in the waste, then the smaller one behind it to dump. By this, you can collect and dump the waste easily. 2011 - Taiwan Yodex - Nominated 2011 - Taiwan Ministry of Economic Affairs Qulia Award - Nominated 2011 - Taiwan Designer’s Week Rising Star - Exhibition 2010 - Uneec Applied Design Award 4th - Nominated

Sensory Guide Designer : Ni -Feng Liu , Ju-Ming Huang Sensory Guide is a steering wheel which could navigate drivers the right direction with vibration intuitively. With it, the driver could safely on the right direction and avoid dangers arise from distraction of looking at the navigator or mistook in left and right. Sensory Guide uses the positioning technology of gyroscope. It could properly navigate the direction with vibration before drivers make a turn, even if the steering wheel is rotated at any angle. 2012 - YSED 9th - Nominated
PROBLEM 01
SOLUTION 01
Increase the danger arise from distraction of looking on the navigator.
Using vibration to navigate, the driver can concentrate on the road directly without looking at the navigator.
PROBLEM 02
SOLUTION 02
27
Turn RIGHT Turn RIGHT
People who can’t distinguish left and right would increase the danger even you have the navigator.

It could also let the people who cannot 19 distinguish between left and right, know which direction is correct.
Complicated delivering way of traditional navigation The delivering way of the traditional navigation is too comlicated for the driver. The driver would consume more his concentration to understand the complicated information.
Combine the PND and steering wheel Combine the PND and steering wheel. Reduce more information to let driver could use a easier way to understand the information and concentrate on the road.
A more clear navigation replace the traditional navigation The traditional navigation was popular. But it was discovered some defects. The Sensory Guide would develope a new navigation system to replace the traditional navigation.
Somatosensory-guide steering wheel By using vibration, the driver could concentrate on the road without staring at the navigator and also let people who can’t distinguish left and right follow the instruction of the navigator.
Touch screen& car horn Touch screen could remind drivers the destination, journey time, the name of destination and steering wheel remains the original function of car horn.
Built-in gyroscopes Ensure the steering wheel could properly navigate the driver with vibration when it was rotated.

Process First of all, we use the electronic component of vibration to creat the vibrate feeling. Trying to put on the right position of the vibrate component when user can touch it accurately. Using the bearing to rotate the steering wheel soomthly. In the end, combine all the component together. 22 23
Belongs to u & me Designer : Ni-Feng Liu,Hui-Chun "Belongs to u & me" is a light that presents the desire between strangers and creates romantic feelings in lounge bars. It turns the interaction between people into changes of light effect.There are sensors in the three parts of this light to turn on the lights when people come. Finally when they all sit down, and turn on all the lights, they could share the lovely light.

Square pipes Designer : Ni-Feng Liu,Tun-Wei Liang This is an improvement of the traditional round water pipe for better function of storage and usage. The square pipe is easier to hold and wouldn’t be tangled like the round pipe. There are two grooves on one side, and two convex lines on the other side. Through fixing the grooves with convex lines, the pipe would become a disc. The storage would become convenient and it would not take much space. 2011 - Taiwan In ternational Student Design Competition - Nominated 28 29
