VIBEYES Designsprojekt for the deafblind There is also a prevalent misconception in modern society that if a person who is disabled accomplishes some goal, such as attaining a college degree or winning a sporting competition, the disability essentially vanishes, and life becomes “normal” for the still-disabled person. This is probably the result of films and literature that conclude with the disabled main character achieving a goal at the end of the story, leaving the audience to assume the challenges have been “conquered” once and for all. Unfortunately, the reality of life for people who are deaf-blind is not so simple. --Deafblind Reality Living the Life Scott M. Stoffel

Experimental psychologists red rhett pull (Treicher) had two famous psychological experiments, one is about human to obtain information on ways in which the main. He through the many experiments: human getting information from visual 83%, 11% from hearing, and 3.5% from smell, 1.5% from touch, 1% from taste
As the research, the deafblind should face to different kinds of difficulties in the daily. The VIBEYES focused on the communication problems
Problem Definition &Solution
5
Two problems are defined. First is the direction of communication. That means if the communication takes place, you have to know where the conversation partner is, otherwise the conversation is meaningless. Secondly emotional communication is also important. The normal people use the facial expressions and crooked movements to communicate the emotion. For the deafblind, the emotional information has almost not arrived because they cannot see or hear. The solution of the problem is to rebuild the lost bridge with technical applications.

The process of emotional commnication were summarized into 6 steps. The paticipants of a communication go through the process from the face capture to the emotional reaction, this process happen through the paticpants one after one, or at the same time. And this can be treated as a successful emotional communication.

Grade 3 Grade 2 Grade 1 No Feeling The sensitivities test aimed to find out the ideal area for the vibration on the surface of humanbody. The points shows different sensitivity grades from 0 to 3, which means almost no feeling to very sensitive. As the result, the back of oberbody is a ideal area for the vibration.

Based on the theory of Robert Plutchik, the emotions were defined as 8 different basic emotions, and as they superimpoes with each other become the rest of the other emotions. Here in this project only 6 basic emotions were selected to show how this system works.

Idea &Development B-to-C Model As the analysis of existing market, the most customers are hotels or fitniss studios. Can we mind the market deeply directly to the user? The design concept Bällebad is trying to introduce the usage of solarbank to the users at home, which means the user can easily buy the little unit and put into to bathtub and enjoy the experience. This product transfer the business from B-to-B to B-to-C and have the potential to expand the market.

Idea &Development
The Development of Polyhedron With the research of the polyhedron in Rhino 5 comes the variants that can interact with the points and the reflection on a sphere. The more possibilities there are, the better the form evolves. After that I chose the best ones and developed them further
Form Research Premodel is the necessary process of product design as it can show the possibilities to get the ideal shape. The polyhedron is an ideal direction for the „ball bath“, but with the premodel, there are several variants. The designer should consider this in order to balance the advantages and the disadvantages. With this form there is also the opportunity to integrate the robot system. As the design idea that, each ball as an independent unit can communicate with other balls, through IR sensor and distance sensor, with each other, so that all balls work as a self-organized system. The inner structure will function as one robot, with the location signal the robot can move on a surface.

In Ball‘s design, due to the product language, several curves are used, so the sphere looks soft to show accessibility and tactility. The goledene curves are not only patten but also the Matel structure, so that they can support the weight and stress, because the OLED surface is weak and easy to be destroied. The circuit board is hinged, then it can stick on the inside of the ball.

Co-Robot System Designsprojekt with Wรถhner Currently control cabinets are made of metal. The basic structure consists of a frame, which is covered with sheet metal. The products are usually placed on a mounting plate. The cabinet is always mounted in the factory in Rรถdental. When transporting from the production site to the place of destination, therefore, especially air is transported.

Transportation
The Co-Robot System allows the techniker to work with assistance of a robotic automation system. The components are gaven as an input to the system.
With real-tiime feedback, the techniker can control the robot through an user iinterface to install or replace the component.
Fire extinguishing system ,emergency system and risk evaluate and detect system are intergrated into the grid system, this keeps it either for the workers or the system itself safe.

After researching the lattice system and fractal, the basic knowledge of modularity and automation is deeply understood. After careful consideration, the end development of the control cabinet came out with higher performance and lower costs. It consists of two parts: the shelf system and the robot system. The shelf system provides the workstations for the robot, which can climb on the surface of the shelf thanks to the four 3-dimensionally movable legs. With the camera and data chain, the robot will remain connected to the control system, allowing engineers and workers to control the status of the control cabinet behind the screen.
160mm
The scale of the shelving system is based on the size of the crossboard. Each cell is 600mm by 600mm with the holematrix in the background. With the help of the holematrix, with which the weight of the backboard is lighter, the shelving system can be cooled down quickly
600mm
24
Design &Development
The connection of the shelving system is the focus of the design. With the auto-developing algorithm, you get the minimum surface area from the connection. This improves the structure ideally for the movement of the robot.
600mm
The robot is integrated with the camera and support arms. The arms can support the component and then connect the line. In order to further develop the autoinstall system, the aesthetics and functional module of the component should be further designed. But this is not necessary for this project.

Sound Path Exhibition design with Senckenberg Museum Digital exhibits in the Natural History Museum The course deals with spatial, vivid, tangible and social communication formats in natural history museums using digital media. The design task is the communication of a scientific fact using authentic objects
Primary Research
We analyze parts of the existing permanent exhibition „History of the Earth“ and „Fossils of the pit Messel“ under the aspect of the interaction design. In the exhibitions under consideration, many of the revolutionary design tools that Wilhelm Schäfer brought into the museum at the end of the 1960s are still clearly recognizable. We analyze what we can learn from the utopia of the future for the future and how this content could be presented in a future permanent exhibition
27
The pit Messel in Messel is a disused oil shale open pit. Because of the excellent quality of the recovered there fossils from the Eocene in 1995 she was appointed a UNESCO World Heritage Site. So far, representatives of all vertebrate groups as well as insects and plants have been found there. The best-known representatives of the Messel fauna are probably the two early horse species Propalaeotherium and Eurohippus, of which more than 70 individuals have been excavated so far. Other important finds are the crane bird Messelornis cristata and Darwinius masillae („Ida“), an early primate

The information consists of three parts, text sounds and pictures. Compared to the other method, texts are ideal for visitors to have deeper information. With sounds and speech, visitors can more easily immerse themselves in the atmosphere. Visitors can get more visual information during the enjoyment of real exhibits. Visual information is definitely important too. With images and videos the environment is built up for imagination
Idea &Design

Inforzonen We have defined 3 zones for the sound. In the center is the exhibit, then zone one is with detailed information. Next there is zone two with the special points of the exhibit (barking of the dog). The third zone is after that with the sound of the living environment (the sea or the forest)
Based on previous research, we have focused on sound interaction. In this way, we should know the address of the visitors and the relationships between visitors and exhibits, and then with the different definitions informations can be offered.
In the second aspect, we thought of the movement of the visitor. If you return the third zone in 1 minute after leaving the zone, the speaking will pause and then continue. If the leave time is more than 1 minute, the speaking will be repeated.
If the zone intersects with each other, you can hear both sounds in both directions.
