Measures Dark Adaptation

Wednesday, 7 October 2026

AdaptDx Pro

AdaptDx Pro is a wearable dark adaptometer used to measure dark adaptation for the early detection of age-related macular degeneration. The headset replaces a large tabletop system and a darkened test room by forming a personal light-tight testing space. A padded head strap and an overhead strap allow adjustment, and single use comfort guards on the eye cups support comfort and hygiene. A digital assistant named Theia uses artificial intelligence and voice prompts to guide each patient. Infrared cameras locate the pupil and small motors align the optics. A front display shows test status.

Alignment to Air

As for the creative letter animation, Jin started with the alphabet "A". And, when it comes to the concept step, he tried to see more vigorous moods reflecting on his philosophy which is quite active but organizing at the same time. Along the way, he came up with the conflicting words thoroughly standing for his idea in some way such as align to air which is the title of this project. With that in mind, the animation presents more precise and delicate moments on the first word. On the other hand, this ends up with a rather flexible and loose vibe to manifest the last letter.

Sonic Electric Toothbrush

Sunday, 4 October 2026

Dr.Bei S7

Dr.Bei S7 is a sonic electric toothbrush developed for sensitive gums. The S7 uses a 4D elastic brush head that bends to clean between the teeth while limiting pressure on the gums. The motor allows an adaptive angle change of eight degrees, which softens the effect of firm brushing. A pressure sensor lowers the frequency when the applied force passes a set limit. Stepless power adjustment lets users select a suitable cleaning strength. The simple geometry and the glass panel combine the interactive interface with the body.

Wedding Chapel

Saturday, 3 October 2026

Cloud of Luster

The Cloud of luster is a wedding chapel located inside a wedding ceremony hall in Himeji city, Japan. The design tries to translate the modern wedding ceremony spirit into physical space. The chapel is all white, a cloud shape enveloped almost entirely in curved glass opening it to the surrounding garden and water basin. The columns are toped in hyperbolic capital like heads smoothly connecting them to the minimalistic ceiling. The chapel socle on the basin side is a hyperbolic curve allowing the whole structure to appear as if it is floating on the water and accentuate its lightness.
