Self-Standing Chair - A Caring Design for Solitary Young Peopler
THIS PROJECT INSPIRED FROM AN INVESTIGATION STORY
In this project, I design a chair that can stand automatically and wait for its owner. It expresses my focus on solitary young people.
This a description of normal operation process: Every morning, before the owner comes to work, he/ she can set the time of returning home by adjusting the slider and then lie it down. The chair can stand up by itself through its inner machine according to timer. When the owner comes back, if the chair has not stood up, he/she can feel a happiness of coming home early. If the chair has stood up, he/she can feel that they are being waited.
The Social Origin of the Solitude History
Mechanism Analysis
The structure is based on a lever with a precisely calculated density ratio of both ends. The mechan- ical system includes conveyor belt, slide rheostat and gear motor. The program system includes different high precision sensors.
