The brochure is printed on paper only when the visitor leaves. Paper waste is reduced and the collected data supports the exhibition industry.

Remoltra

Remoltra is a remote color doppler ultrasound system designed for elderly and disabled patients who cannot travel to a hospital. The system consists of an imaging device placed in the hospital and a smaller home device delivered to the patient. The patient lies down and places the home device over the upper torso. Internet of Things technology connects both units, so the doctor can move a force feedback pen that guides a robotic arm holding the probe. Skin resistance data is returned to the pen, so pressure can be judged from a distance.

Glowing Eustoma

Glowing Eustoma is a living flower lamp created as a conceptual lighting design. The eustoma is a flower that appears green in daylight and gives off light at night. A biotechnology process allows the plant to glow through leaf vein absorption of high-entropy oxides, which are in line with European Union standards. No genetic modification is used, and the flower grows in the same way as a natural one. Several luminous colors are shown each night. The flower measures 50 mm in width, 50 mm in depth and 350 mm in height. The intent is to offer a calm experience at night.

Spark is a travel electric guitar designed for portability and for production at home. The body, neck, and fretboard are printed by fused filament fabrication using recycled wood fiber and aramid composites instead of hardwood. The electrical and mechanical components are widely available, and assembly uses a solderless wiring system. Spark is finished by traditional methods, including sanding, fret seating, and a nitrocellulose lacquer coating. A headless fixed bridge keeps the full scale length within a compact form.
