01 LAMBORGHINI VISION EVENT HORIZON Next Generation Hybrid Super Sport
In this project, I integrated the next-generation design tool, virtual reality (VR), into the design process and created a next-generation supercar. Experimenting with Gravity Sketch during the early design stage influenced the horizontal and vertical thinking stimulus, which will be included in the project's future implementation.

After decades of computer-aided design, who's next? Designers can use computers to assist them with data collection, modeling, and visualization, and computer skills have become a vital tool for designers throughout time. Computer-aided design interventions can be applied in multiple ways at various stages of the design process. When using a computer, however, I always wonder whether it would be more efficient to model the design faster in the early stages of development or to view the design on a display screen closer to the accurate scale, resulting in a more realistic result?

Virtual Reality will be the answer!
During the research period, we participated in VR research conducted by some teachers' labs and learned about the advantages and disadvantages of VR design tools. Therefore, we discussed how VR tools should be effectively integrated into the design process with professor Lin, Ming-Huang, and other members. And we concluded that theoretically, the most appropriate design process should be the interface between the sketch stage and the CAD stage(Sketch-based Modeling), which means that horizontal thinking is transformed into vertical consideration to maximize its effect.
Here is LAMBORGHINI VISION EVENT HORIZON’s Design Process! Given the benefits of Virtual Reality, such as quickly creating low-realism models and a realistic (1:1) scale viewing space, I believe it will become an important design tool for the next generation.
2D Sketch provides a VR modeling base Provide frame for creating precise surface & detail
3D sketches stimulate ideation
High Efficiency
Designers can quickly create the low-fidelity prototype with Gravity Sketch to see if the concept works in early-design stage.
Effective Communication
The design team was able to clearly communicate concepts in VR and rapidly iterate vertically on the product.
Real Scale Model View designs in 1:1 scale in VR are beneficial for large products like cars and boats that are difficult to see inaccurate scale in early-design stage.
Low Cost
Regular VR headsets such as Oculus cost only about $400, and the design software Gravity Sketch is even free!

Early-Design Stage In this project, I used the GRAVITY SKETCH to enter Virtual Reality after sketching and used the sketch as a foundation to produce a realistic scale three-dimensional model in space swiftly. The sensory stimulation provided by the 3D space model is not accessible in 2D sketching. It allows me to extract more distinct thinking and ideas in the early stages of the design, giving me a more holistic picture. This project will be my first experimental project using VR to import the design process, and it is also testing the feasibility of this method. All future design projects will use this process if the results are excellent.

My Reflection This design project is the first time I have carried out an experimental project. I gathered information through reading papers and identified possible suitable design processes. After confirming the design process, I tested the feasibility of the design process myself by implementing the design. This project was also honored to be featured on Behance in the product design section automotive.
02 EUTERPE
Resonance Pipe Electric Motorcycle The EUTERPE aims to use resonant sound as a link between man and bike. The wind generated by the bike's speed is passed through the resonant tubes on the side and center of the bike, creating a closed-tube standing wave and a vibrant sound that ebbs and flows with speed. When the speed of the electric bike is linked to the sound, the soulful EUTERPE is the key to awakening people to a new life after the epidemic.

Electric Motorcycle
The most impressive performance of an electric vehicle is its quiet acceleration. As a result, speed can be converted into a low-frequency resonant sound that connects emotions and elicits an epidemic of renewal in the man-car relationship. As the Singing Ringing Tree has inspired me, what would an electric motorbike look like if it could employ this idea to make the sound for electric bikes?
The gap between us and our world
The covid19 epidemic has created an unfamiliar divide between people, objects, and the environment in the last two years. In addition, forced confinement to their homes has led to feelings of stress and depression. Now that the epidemic is slowing down, people are trying to regain a thriving vitality. Rebirth after an epidemic is not only a reawakening from the silence and uncertainty of the epidemic but also a reconnection with the fading emotions of human beings and objects. We always believe that a speed machine full of vitality can awaken the human heart and restore the dynamics of life.
Eureka!

Singing Ringing Tree
https://tonkinliu.co.uk
When I struggled to think of a way to develop my concept from the above, I came across the Singing Ringing Tree, a metal statue in Burnley, England. The tree is made of layers of steel tubes. Some of these have holes cut in them and act like flutes – when the wind blows it will produce a sound. This sculpture inspired me to think that if the wind in the environment resonates with the object, it seems to give life to the electric motorbike, giving a soulful resonance to an emotionless motor.
The Concept
Resonant metal tubes of different lengths are installed on the body of the bike to create different frequencies of harmonic resonance with the speed of the ride, thus giving life to the electric motorbike. The metal resonance tubes are integrated into the motorcycle's exterior design and flow with the shape of the EUTERPE.
Main Design Points
Variable Valve System Below 80km/h Valve Close Closed Pipe Standing Waves | High-pitch Voice
Sound Plan - Resonant Tubes Matrix High Pitch
Middle Pitch
Lower Pitch
The EUTERPE has nine resonant tubes around the body, covering five primary ranges and three advanced ranges. When riding, the side wind blows at a near-vertical angle across the metal tube opening, causing the tube to resonate with it at the same frequency as the sound. As a result, the sound frequency not only increases and decreases with speed; the difference in wind pressure between the two sides of the bike as it leans around a bend also makes a difference to the sound.
Visual Plan
The metal resonance tubes, which are the core function of the EUTERPE, are exposed and neatly arranged on the sides of the vehicle and integrated into the body line. The internal combustion mechanism gives this heritage of visual memory to the user by the internal combustion mechanism. At the same time, the change in the structure of the electric vehicle has eliminated much of the space above the battery, allowing for a curved fold above the body to create a sense of suspension, giving it a light, penetrating, and futuristic feel through visual extension and linearity.
Over 80km/h Valve Open Opened Pipe Standing Waves | Lower-pitch Voice
My Reflection This is one of the few projects where I have studied the design solution's psychological aspects. It was a challenging part of the design process to master the core concept and then subtly integrate the metal resonance tubes into the form. As a result, this project has given me a great sense of achievement.

AETHER
The core concept of AETHER is not only to reduce carbon emissions but also to actively reduce air pollution by collecting pm2.5 particles through the air cleaning modules installed inside the vehicle so that AETHER will be the best solution.
Insight Business Strategy AETHER
Leading Group
Lower series Unit
United
If we could gather the power of every human being on the planet into one powerful force, it would be possible to do one's bit for the world by balancing the enormous pollution that is like hell.
Other Groups
AETHER is the flagship product in the air cleaning range and is expected to attract the leading-group buyers while building brand equity. In addition, by leveraging this brand name to launch mid-range and low-end products, it will be able to leverage the follow-the-leader effect to attract more consumers to purchase and achieve a more extensive penetration rate.
Air Purify Filter Module
Filter Module Exchange Station
The module includes 7 HEPA-rated ceramic air purify boards. The ceramic plates can be washed back to a clean state and reused. The module frame is designed in a trapezoidal shape with unique angles on both sides to allow the ceramic plates to trap more particles and maximize air cleaning efficiency.
Aerodynamic
Next GEN Life Style Try to imagine the next-generation lifestyle patterns for the AEHTER's operation. The clean modules will get polluted after a period of riding, and the user can then ride to a nearby module exchange and exchange them with clean ones. Modules will be changed from the bottom of the bike automatically. You may meet someone who rides the same AETHER as you at the module exchange station, with the same ideals of caring for mother Earth and riding the same bike, which will surely bring more fun to your life. Users can charge their batteries at home or on a paved charging road during their urban commute. Likewise, they can utilize the vehicle's battery to power up if they wish to go on a vacation to the countryside.
Home
When riding the AETHER, the airflow through the wing-shape shell creates negative pressure inside the motorcycle, allowing more airflow into the air purification module. AETHER's exterior design is based on jets and takes aerodynamic design into account to control the AETHER's body airflow.
