Kage no Õi: Smart Umbrella
The concept of a smart umbrella has been meticulously crafted with a keen attention to detail. This futuristic umbrella concept is proposed as a component of self-education in product design.
The proposal includes a modular design that allows users to swap out handles and various elements according to their preferences, requirements, and location. For instance, in the event of snowfall during the winter season, a user could attach a heating module to keep their hands warm.
The concept of modular design can be realized through the incorporation of magnets, which would enhance the overall sophistication and streamline the aesthetic. A control panel ring could be utilized to fine-tune the functionality of the selected module, such as heating or cooling.
The umbrella's arm could incorporate magnets to leverage their resistance in counteracting wind and heavy rain, thereby reducing the stress on the user's hand. It would function similarly to a recoil system but designed for umbrellas.
