NEBULA
Personal Mobile Companion
Design team: Evan Ma, Gyeongseon Lee, King Wong, Martin Poon
Nebula is an exploration for personal mobilities initiated by One Object Design Studio.
We envisions a more humanized and sustainable urban transport in near future.
The inspiration comes from daily observation of people’s urban commuting and how they interact with technology. Considering as an extension of human body, ‘Nebula’ allows us to be more freedom, speedy, agile to go anywhere we want.
We hope to create a harmony between human appreciation to home & lifestyle and performance-driven & hi-tech transport. By enhancing tactile sensibility from soft material usage, ‘Nebula’ strives to provide more secured and safe feeling during driving, also more approachable and understandable when people interact with technology.
‘Nebula’ combines both hard and soft materials:
Outer housing of both ‘Alpha’ & ‘Beta’ is using Recycled PP (polypropylene), provides a hard-shell protection, whilst allows head/tail light and winker backlit through the housing. Interior of vehicle is made of 3D-knitting fabric material with water/dirt proof coating, to achieve a seamless and durable surface, that provides user a sense of comfort, friendly and security.
Alpha is designed for mid and long distance urban travel. Modern and sleek appearance, yet not compromise dynamic and speedy, It allows nomads flexible and freedom explore urban city. Alpha harnesses HUD, enables an enriched and considerate AR driving experience, whilst enhances safety issue.
‘Alpha’ harnesses HUD technology, enables driver to see through from the upper lens for real-time indications about their journey and road-environment, which provides an enriched and considerate AR driving experience, whilst enhances safety issue.
Beta is a kick-board E-scooter for short distance travel. slim, light-weight design caters for urban daily commute. Beta is easy to fold for carrying and storage. The compact size is good for home, in-car or in office. It’s flexible and convenient last mile travel.
‘Nebula’ is an exploration for personal mobilities initiated by Oneobject in early 2020. Back to that time pandemic already spread around the world. People had concern to take public transport, the idea of ‘Nebula’ is to provide people eco-friendly, hassle-free and safer short- journey travel experience.
It took us one year to develop ‘Nebula’ concepts from market research, initial product archetype, technology viability and ergonomic study, CMF exploration, design concept visualization, etc. We just finished the design concept phase, and currently are contacting potential manufacturer and supplier to develop a prototype. Hopefully in future there will be an opportunity to collaborate with the company who share the same vision and objective as us.
