We produce micro-mobility class vehicle designs and
design and production tools for such vehicles.
We design land-vehicle structures. We focus on handling, stability and driver or rider ergonomics.
We also focus on 2-wheeled and 3-wheeled, non-powered or lightly powered land-vehicles, such as micro-mobility class vehicles.
Our first design is an attachable contraption that stabilizes a bicycle.
It is lightweight, improves stability and riding comfort, and can also be used to carry small loads.
The link below describes this design and some of our prior work.
We are producing tools for designing and producing micro-mobility vehicles that we
plan to license to small and medium scale micro-mobility vehicle producers to help them reduce time-to-market.
Design: The Specifier is an MCAD tool to create a specification of a structural-assembly.
It uses a hexagonal-grid as a basis for the spatial representation of 3D objects,
which is an improvement over methods used by existing tools.
Production: The Unit-construction-hub is a space, an installation, and a process repository
for the production of a single land-vehicle unit.
It simplifies the prototyping process and can also be used for production and post-production
maintenance.
We also produce developer tools that help improve developer efficiency.
We use these tools for our own software development and plan to license them.
InterUnit-UI is a new UI-design approach that uses a temporal basis for describing a UI instead of the screen-space organisational basis of Windows used by WIMP.
It simplifies UI-design and produces UIs with better ergonomics.
Ergonomix is a developer-tool for designing apps with InterUnit-UI.
The tool is designed to improve developer efficiency.
Between 2005-2016, we explored the design of personalised gadgets.
We explored the design of a developer-tool to produce GDSII layouts for an ASIC.
The input to this tool was a personalised user-agent that implemented all the software functions needed by a specific user, such as web-browsing, email, text-editing, specialised enterprise apps etc.
This ASIC would serve as a basis for a personalised gadget that implemented only that user's user-agent.
Such a gadget is secure and private, because it's software is hard-coded into an ASIC.
It is also a lot cheaper, energy-efficient and can be produced on older semiconductor fabrication nodes, such as a 40nm node.
Between 1999-2005, we explored software applications relating to digital music.
We explored the design of algorithms for analysing digitised sound-streams with the intent of producing a music-teaching software application.
