Heron

The Heron is an adjustable lighting fixture which can adopt several positions just by moving the three hinging elements. Depending the shaped position, this object can lighten wall-, up- or downside. Touching the ledprofile (tube) dimms the light and switches on en off. The Heron is part of a larger collection with different birdshapes en names.

Tensegrity

Tensegrity sensor for disaster sites, which could be dropped from the sky (drone) to collect data for emergency response crews to examine crucial data such as gas leakage, images, and audios from survivors. Due to the risk, this deployable sensor is especially beneficial when it comes to unapproachable sites by humans. Multiple tensegrity modules stored in a basket under the drone with an automated deployment system are deployed on multiple sites nearby to the region of interest once the drone arrives at the location.

Sim One

Tens of thousands of people may perish as a result of tsunamis. Because of the way that tsunamis work, humans lack the tools necessary to detect them directly. The current tsunami warning is based on erroneous and delayed modelling results of seismic data. This system is intended to directly identify tsunamis with high warning accuracy while continuously monitoring the internal dynamics of the ocean. The offshore work vessel anchors the equipment in the open ocean and fastens it with special ropes.

Mechcircuit

MechCircuit leverages the neodymium magnet's natures of magnetism and conductivity to integrate electronics and mechanical structures into prototypes. It enables non-expert users in the mechanical and electronic fields to design and create interactive prototypes achieved without using traditional mechanical parts. Rather than involving complicated operations including wiring and soldering, it applies magnetism and laser-cut slots to connect electronic components. MechCircuit is expected to be used in the product design iteration for a wide audience using the standard laser cutting technology.

Starry Night

Orchids represent abundance, harvest, fertility, beauty, prosperity, and luxury. This biotechnology enables orchids to glow in the dark through EU-compliant high-entropy oxides that are absorbed using non-genetically modified leaf veins. There is no need to enter the planet Pandora in a virtual movie. Glowing Orchid displays multiple luminous colors at night without any light source. This technology further enables people to communicate with the glowing orchids in the senses and to feel the beauty and mystery of the glowing orchids in spirits by looking at the starry sky among the orchids.

Wise

Wireless Intelligence Sensing (WISe) combines unique hardware and computing breakthroughs to accurately measure heartbeat, breath rates, and other vital signs without wearables. Innovations include minimizing wireless interference and fitting seven antennas in a coin-sized space. Cutting-edge computation isolates sensor signals from environmental noise and measures minuscule rhythms like heartbeats, non-intrusively, from meters away.
