YiAhn Transformable Bassinet

YiAhn (pronounced “e-ahn”) is not just ordinary bassinet. It can adapt to keep pace the changing needs of a growing child. Designed by Chul Min, Kang as a gift for his new born, this bassinet was designed to meet the needs of each growth phase of the baby. When the baby outgrows the bassinet, YiAhn can be reused as entirely different products after a simple process of transformation.

Due to the fast growth of the baby, a bassinet itself can only be used only for three months. However, this bassinet can be reused as storage equipment (for example, as a toy bin and a mini bookshelf with drawers) once the first need (bassinet) is outgrown. As the toddler becomes a child, it can also be converted into a chair and table set for children. It is very easy to change the shape of the furniture; simple folding, with no use of tools, allows the piece of furniture to transform into new products. It can also be used as a bassinet again if the family has a second baby.

Wisdom Well Interactive Floor Offers A Fun Way to Learn

The Wisdom Well concept involves an interactive floor supporting new kinds of kinesthetic learning and entertainment experiences. The objective of the Wisdom Well is to create an IT-based physical setup for learning and entertainment that enables users to utilise their bodies as well as their minds in collaborative games and explorative digital simulations.

Learning is a promising application of the Wisdom Well concept, since it transcends traditional PC-based systems through support for body-kinesthetic learning. The theories of Howard Gardner and others suggest that stimulating one intelligence area may enhance skills within other intelligence areas.

Flow - Wind Solar Energy System

Wang Yigang has designed flow, a wind solar energy system. This solar and wind energy collection system uses arciform photovoltaic cells to enable a better collection of sun light. At the same time, the shell, which is composed of six photovoltaic cells, can be used as wind concentrator. The wind forms a whirlpool within. This acceleration of wind speed increases the performance of the rotor. Through movable joints, the angles of the photovoltaic cells can be adjusted so that different orientations can be made for the maximisation of sun exposure, and to vary the amount of wind entering the system. The wind energy system uses a Darrieus-type vertical axis wind turbine. It can operate normally even when the wind is not very strong. In addition, FLOW?s small size makes this system suitable for family use.
