The optical inspection is done by hovering over your skin. The app will indicate the areas you have already scanned.
If a suspicious area is detected, double check the area with the impedance spectroscopy function by placing the device on your skin.
„You missed something!“

How might we...? | my:celium
How might we empower people to respond to future health issues and enhance our knowledge in the field of biotechnologies?
...by introducing them to the kingdom of fungi!
my:celium | Introduction to Fungus
How to grow fungus - a short introduction to this species Growing and reproducing mushrooms is nearly impossible in a home environment. It requires a lot of experience and a sterile laboratory-like work space to succeed...

Introduction to Fungus | my:celium
failed clone - contaminated
petri dish
hepa - filter flow hood, gloves, alcohol, etc.
...
Mycelium vs. Mold I learned how cultivate and grow fungus and how to extract the pure mushroom culture (mycelium) and the biggest challenge is to avoid contaminations sterile working is crucial! successful clone
Minimal Set up I tried to clone fungus with a very limited set up (disinfection detergent, petri dishes with agar agar nutrient, scalpel, lighter, gloves, breathing mask)
Keep it Clean I tried to work as sterile as possible, but because of the fact that I was not using a recommended glove box or HEPA-filter flow workbench, I had a quite poor success rate (many contaminated petri dishes).
Culture Incubator To encourage the mycelium to grow, I kept them in a warm but breathable box.
Grow Environments I tried out different environments to grow fungus fruits out of the extracted cultures. As there is a high humidity (plastic bag/bucket to keep them humid) and a constant temperature needed for the fungus to grow, it was hard to achieve that in my home or school environment.
Colonizing Phase In the first stage of mushroom growth, the white fluffy mycelium hyphae is growing all over the substrate, in this case the substrate is coffee grounds.
Fruiting Phase When the mycelium has infected all the substrate it will start to grow mushroom fruits.

With its smart sharing system, Kärcher can find its way into every urban household. A smartphone app provides advice on cleaning matters, shows where the nearest Kärcher equipment is located, and allows the user to book the required devices. The payment of the sharing service is made online.
Sharing is Käring | Sharing Station
A sharing station consists of different modules. The basic module provides a variety of configurations for the station. The station is therefore easy to adapt and maintain. At the station, it is also possible to buy original Kärcher detergents and accessories such as towels for the steam cleaner. For this purpose, a vending machine module can be used.

3SRT | Technical package
To prove our technical concept, we worked out different prototpyes. This Lego prototype _consist of parallelogram frame _includes seat adjustment _includes a hydraulic cylinder _automatic shape shift function triggerd via switch
Prototyping
To get an idea of the dimensions of the package which we planned to implement, we built a very quick mock up.
1:1 mock-up
Design | 3SRT
The overall paradigm of the design is “form follows function�. The core frame has to be shaped in a specific way to offer the shape-shift functionality. Every component of the exterior influences every other in a very strong way. Every component has to be carefully synchronized with every other one. Prototyping during ideation is a must.
Sketching
We had to learn more about the behaviour of different types of textiles, when they are stretched over a frame structure. _What kind of surfaces can be created? _What tension will result on the surfaces? _What is the effect of overlapping layers?
Textile shaping
3SRT | Shape & shift
Length: 2.3 m Height: 1.3 m Width: 1.3 m
cruise mode
The 3SRT will offer a mode that is optimized for driving fast and save on f reeways in the suburban area. Therefore the wheelbase will increase and the centre of gravity of the vehicle will be low.
Length: 1.8 m Height: 1.5 m Width: 1.3 m
city mode
For the usage in dense city traffic the wheelbase will be shortened and the seat will move into an upright position. This offers a good field of view that is needed to navigate through this environment.
Length: 1.2 m Height: 1.3 m Width: 1.3 m
park mode
The 3 SRT is able to shrink to a minimum size when it’s parking so that every space can be used. No time-consuming searching for parking space anymore.
