Nomad | Bath Device (2021) A device that handles people's daily toileting and collects water without the need of wires. It brings a healthy lifestyle even in the most distant and underdeveloped areas. This device has a self-contained internal circulation system. It generates electricity by burning faeces which then collects water directly from the air and puri es urine into clean water for use, it absorbs CO2 from the air at the same time. The CO2 from air and burning will convert into solid carbon by a liquid metal catalyst (UNSW/RMIT, 2019) installed inside, after the transformation of CO2, the carbon can be used for making water lters and then mixed in materials for structural strength after the replacement. While Nomad is a system designed for open source use.

a ying disinfectant sanitizer, brings a breath of fresh air It is a ying disinfectant sanitizer for resisting viruses. It can be used at both private and public places, like home, school, o ce, hotel, hospital, airport, plane, train, buses, and various spaces. The built-in virus scanner, UVC lights, and ful lling antimicrobial disinfectant, with the yable ability, allow it to cleanse in three-dimensional spaces exibly. The LED lights and sensors are built at the edge of the wings for location showing and surrounding measurement. Thanks to the autonomous technology that makes it self-operating regularly possible. When the battery is low, or the tank is empty, it will be going back to the charging station automatically for charging and waiting for a re ll, it is wireless for charging and magnetic for landing.

The design of the at body and foldable propellers make it portable to carry and easy for storage. Adding the lters to cover the propellers makes it upgrade to another level of cleaning.

INCEPTION | Portable 3D Camera (2018) Designed for creating immersive VR spaces through reality capture and scanning of physical spaces. It can be controlled by an app via a Bluetooth connection or it can automatically scan surroundings with just a simple tap on the spinning top. The spinning top and magnetic gear design allow a smooth 360degree swing. When it is not in use, just simply split it apart to turn it o .

There are cameras and projectors built-in for taking images and mapping the depth. The next-gen technology makes it easy to collect accurate visual and spatial data to map entire areas in minutes. The mug shape design makes a comfortable holding experience. The body can be used as a high-capacity power bank for charging mobile phones.

Figure 1: Exploring spaces

It suits both professional and consumer markets. It can be used for VR lms, architecture design, interior design, event planning, or at cultural spaces, homes, shopping malls, schools while traveling or exploring spaces (Figure 1). With Inception, everyone can quickly make immersive VR spaces from realworld environments.

PoP Pad | Ping Pong Paddle (2019) Combines VR and AR technology to allow virtual and physical participation in a sport online. It can be used as a home speaker, video conference phone or landline.

Data on the game will be collected by a 3D sensor camera and the touch screen. The buttons on the side make it easy to control allowing for AR/VR mode switching. The screen display, speaker at the bottom, and vibration provide a pleasant visual, audio, and haptic experience.

For providing good impact resistance, the pad would utilize TPE rubber material on the displayable surface and edge; the bottom speaker would use fabric so that it would stick on the TPE material.

VFO | Virtual Fold (2017) Extending the virtual spaces and dimensions to reality. It enables creating immersive scenarios where completely natural blend reality and virtual spaces seamlessly for a true mixed reality experience.

It's a device that makes immersive carrying possible. Ensure the headset is comfortable to wear and easy for carrying, it featured a fabric headband that can fold to a thin form for storage and carrying, or it can fold to a wearing form for the requested focal length. The virtual reality stereoscopic technology requests a distance space (around 40 mm) between the lenses and the display for the focusing. The foldable and stretchable fabric headband easily solves the requested distance problem.

The battery is designed at the back of the head, for a better weight balance between the nose, ears, and back of the head. The minimalist design makes it the thinnest and lightest VR headset. It features a skin-friendly fabric, as for comfort and hygiene purposes it borrowed the softness and changeability from the design of the tted sheet. Image: Micro ber Fitted Sheet

Redesigned Gun (2022) Information is a major role in winning a war. Due to the war in Ukraine, StarLink did great assistance in the information war not just for providing the internet but also for the location of enemies and precision attacks.

In a debate about owning a gun, the residents have the right for owning a rearm in a gun legal country like the states. Although I'm not a gun advocate, I agree with self-protection, especially received invasion in war. Gun certainly increases crime rates. For reducing or eliminate crime, redesigning the gun is necessary.

Sensors

3D model: Maga T

Display

The design comes from one question, if war depends on information, isn't crime the same? Despite the traditional gun, this gun contains sensors, it can record the whole process of the crime and will be stored online for further legal disputes. In comparison to an emotional impulse, the data learning suggests the best solution or shoot the aggressor's non-lethal area automatically and precisely for minimal casualties.

The transformation of a mall (2022) The rst shopping mall from 1956, was designed by the architect Victor Gruen. An immigrant from Europe, Gruen imagined a modern version of the market squares that had always been such a common feature of European towns. While nowadays malls are facing the hit by online shopping, thus thousands malls are turning down every year (Figure 2).

Figure 1: Abandoned mall Figure 2: Annual store closures

People are slowly shifting the activities to online because the diversity choices of the content. YouTube becomes the world’s 2nd most popular online destination, it shows the new possibility of entertainment. For example, this YouTuber was showing the beautiful street and talking with his audience at the same time (Figure 3). Figure 3: Walk around in snowing Tokyo

Due to the needs of the online activities, the virtual markets are rapidly rising each year (Figure 4). Like a popular theme that called Metaverse, it’s a virtual space that connects the physical and digital activities by multi-platforms. People can create their avatars, the avatar exactly measured their body like height, width, and they can shopping in the virtual world (Figure 5).

Figure 4: Virtual Reality market size worldwide

The virtual space can be access by various platforms such as phone, computer, and AR or VR headset. However the most common way that suits everyone to attend a space is in person, such as Vangoghexpo (Figure 6) or TeamLab (Figure 7), these immersive art exhibitions are popular, and the technology they used are not new. It’s actually the projection like the movie theater, the components contains projectors, acoustic system, truss system, the white wall for projection, and its not a huge investment compare to the other renovation. Figure 6: Vangoghexpo

Figure 8: Components

Figure 7: TeamLab

During the research, if renovate an abandoned mall to a park that has the diversity contents like YouTube, by using the immersive technology, can it reconnect the local people’s activities.

Figure 11: Diversity contents

Further, a metaverse park (Figure 10) people can doing activities like discover other cities and buying things on the upper oor, and the lower oor is like a cartoon city from the movie produced by Studio Ghibli, children can make conversation with cartoon avatars. In short, it’s a park that link the physical space to online, people can watch shows, festivals, doing sports, communication, and join the diversity contents in this global streaming park (Figure 11).
