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.

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 develop 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.
