1. My idea for story The Veldt
fitness programmer
Description: It’s a device that can replace personal trainners, which can detect the potential problems regarding bones and muscules of your body and respond to the special requirements of body shaping. Afraid of scoliosis? Afraid of unreliable advice? Evious of handsome figure? This device will detect your body using advanced technology and will make up a set of personalized exercises which will help you exercise effiectively and take measures in time.
Potiential problems: The detective methods of the mathine might require X-ray, which is unsafe if the device is being used by non-professionals. The the high cost may make the personal trainer a more feasible way.
2. My idea for story The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas
Odors translater
Description: It’s a special perfume-creator. Inside, there are multiple extracts and ingredients, which can be mixed into a special perfume based on personal demands. The user simply need to describe the ordor using simple setences or words like “forest after rain”, “freshly baked cake”… Then the device can respond to the describing words and produce a unique odor.
Potiential problems: costly
3.My idea for story THE PLAGUE
Hands controller
Description: It’s a device that looks like human’s hands, which allows people to control it from a distance using their hands. It aims to be used when detecting or operating on harmful objects or infected tissue. There are multiple sensors on the device which allows it to analyze the object from different angles.
Comparison: this is a similar current design.
(inFORM Daniel Leithinger, Sean Follmer, Hiroshi Ishii)
But instead of the cubes shown in this design, my device is more of a hand-shaped design, which will allow user to better control.
