In search of a purposeful application of product design, a series of 'What if ?'s experimental designs were developed for the disabled community. The latest project involved working with my disabled neighbour to develop a computer mouse to be shared between him and his family. I was also fortunate to be invited as part of an international team in the 2008 Inclusive Design Challenge Hong Kong presented by the British Council and the Helen Hamlyn Centre (Royal College of Art, London), a major event addressing design for the abled & disabled.<br /><br />In 2008, the Woogle Works project expanded beyond design for disability, exploring other areas of design including:<br /><br /></span> <span style="font-family:arial;">1. Design for Culture</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">2. Design for National Identity</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">3.

The pen, pencil, brush, etc. is angled so that the tip of the pen, pencil, brush, etc. is not offset too far from the users' mouth</span>.<br /><br /><div></div></div>Wooglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14675015336836438900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28901233.post-50724001623439066622007-02-10T08:21:00.000+08:002007-02-10T18:00:56.454+08:00Hooked<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglGi4NmClcYkwq-RF5JkGEFNCoP09MaCavEpppumS4V-05V6gItBYaW4Qtg8ta0xSLwDPhU1L_RE5aNy4CRDGA-qDO-SoCXZpz2JUiOVfahvNSbYd0SFYQTDrP2dcA5bDiAXlZCg/s1600-h/Hook.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5029447186574594194" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglGi4NmClcYkwq-RF5JkGEFNCoP09MaCavEpppumS4V-05V6gItBYaW4Qtg8ta0xSLwDPhU1L_RE5aNy4CRDGA-qDO-SoCXZpz2JUiOVfahvNSbYd0SFYQTDrP2dcA5bDiAXlZCg/s400/Hook.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2l_5gHlLUSC6WG2ui-mBvfV3JIjPwOxerHLaTTahnfXAMEMx_jQ0LTNv99gX9jzroEJDC0eTyBsBwhhwvFxaIHwTtQ7DRQKUmduvxJLAVOwGG_W2C29wnGrVRvSptLJKbE011xg/s1600-h/Hook.jpg"></a><span style="font-family:arial;">This project I am experimenting on involves innovating a solution to enable safe single-hand cycling.

It can be controversial, like this one, with the stump of the wearer being part of the bleeding panda with its arm cut off and still bleeding to bring impact to the message opposing animal cruelty.</span></span></span>Wooglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14675015336836438900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28901233.post-1158806944151156182006-09-20T22:23:00.000+08:002007-02-10T18:05:47.293+08:00Big Foot Wheelchair featured on Yanko Design<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7842/2107/1600/yanko.0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7842/2107/400/yanko.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> link: http://www.yankodesign.com/product_info.php?products_id=1388</span></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7842/2107/1600/yanko.jpg"><br /></a>Wooglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14675015336836438900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28901233.post-1157526275386409932006-09-07T05:56:00.000+08:002006-11-11T11:55:59.739+08:00Woogle featured on Off The EDGE<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7842/2107/1600/Woogle-060906.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7842/2107/320/Woogle-060906.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Woogle was featured in the September issue of Off The Edge.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: arial;">A big thank you to Grace Chin for offering this opportunity to gain much useful exposure.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: arial;">Article scanned from Off The Edge Issue 21; September 2006, page 31.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Click on image to enlarge</span><br /></span></span>Wooglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14675015336836438900noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28901233.post-1155625995692051192006-08-15T14:47:00.000+08:002007-02-10T18:06:28.101+08:00LIME Cycle<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7842/2107/1600/LIME-Cycle-2.0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7842/2107/320/LIME-Cycle-2.0.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7842/2107/1600/LIME-Cycle-1.2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7842/2107/320/LIME-Cycle-1.2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7842/2107/1600/LIME-Cycle-1.2.jpg"></a><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7842/2107/320/LIME-Cycle-3.5.jpg" border="0" /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >This is the LIME Cycle.

My right hand is weak due to an injury in an accident. Whenever I wanted to open a Coke bottle or a bottle of mineral water bottle, I had great difficulty opening with one hand.<br />Bling Bunny was developed to allow people with disabilities to open and close bottles single-handedly.<br /><br />The bunny is chrome-plated. The idea is to use the reflection of the user and surrounding environment as a way of customizing the product. The reflections are cute, especially when the user's image/face is distorted and capped with bunny ears.<br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"> </span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><br />TPE molded over ABS is used for the top palm-opeated button and ears to give it a softer touch and grip. Use of light colour in these parts is to detect when the product needs cleaning to maintain hygiene. The ears are extensions of a flip-switch. Pushing it left or right determines whether the bottle cap is being opened or closed.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />For detail explainations of how the Bling Bunny works, kindly visit the Design Diary at: <span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">http://woogleideas.blogspot.com</span><br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >Click on image to enlarge<br /><br /></span>Wooglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14675015336836438900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28901233.post-1149650713856177282006-06-08T02:14:00.000+08:002007-02-10T18:07:50.964+08:00Rocking Crutch<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7842/2107/1600/Rocker-Crutch-persp.1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; float: right;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7842/2107/320/Rocker-Crutch-persp.1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >This concept adapts a curved sole to produce a rocking movement when used. More surface contacts the ground to increase stability and grip. The curve also eases the task of going up and down stairs. Another major feature is the X-shaped underarm support designed to increase stiffness. The "Rocking Crutch" was designed with the image of modern sports equipment; to suggest it as a tool to enhance human physical ability. This is to break away from the stereotype impression that people with disabilities are lesser than abled people. </span><br /><p><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >Comments welcomed: especially from crutch users.<br /></span></p> <p><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ></span></p><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7842/2107/200/Rocking-sole.0.jpg" border="0" /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-family:arial;">Project done in collaboration with Tham Ming Yoong (Bachelor of Engineering- University of Birmingham)</span></span>Wooglehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14675015336836438900noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28901233.post-1148868852601549772006-05-30T09:30:00.000+08:002007-02-10T18:08:22.907+08:00Foldable Walking Aid<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7842/2107/1600/walker_coroflot.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7842/2107/320/walker_coroflot.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7842/2107/1600/walker_coroflot%202.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7842/2107/320/walker_coroflot%202.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >The product is used by stroke victims with mobility problems.
