Project M³ is a concept motorbike with biomimicry as its core design principle. It visualizes biological characteristics in a tangible form, maximizing the integration between the rider and the vehicle to enhance the experience and enjoyment of riding
CONCEPT
In the movie Avatar, the Na'vi ride on animals using a neural interface called "queue" or "bond." This connection allows them to communicate and establish a bond with specific animals, enabling them to ride and control them.
By designing vehicles that evoke similar emotions and create a bond between humans and machines, the user experience can be enhanced.
SCENARIO: Riding on mountain roads or race tracks
INITIAL PEN & PAPER SKETCHES
IDEATION & SKETCH DEVELOPMENT
DYNAMIC DEFORMATION: APPLICATION OF SHAPE-MEMORY ALLOY
Shape-shifting shell: With changes in vehicle speed or environmental conditions, the body undergoes corresponding deformations, enhancing aerodynamic efficiency.
Low speed ________________________________________________________ High speed
AERODYNAMICS: BOOST STABILITY & FUEL ECONOMY
Shape-Memory alloy can be used to adjust the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle's body. During high-speed driving, the body can become more compact and streamlined, reducing air resistance. During low-speed driving, it can expand to provide better stability.
EXPERIENCE THE HEARTBEAT OF A VEHICLE
During low-speed driving, the vehicle's lights will slowly flicker like a quiet and slow heartbeat. As the speed increases, the rhythm and color of the light flickering will change, resembling an accelerated heartbeat. This design not only adds a sense of dynamism to the vehicle but also enhances its visibility during nighttime, making it more recognizable.
Low heart rate (0-80km/h) ________________________________________________________ High heart rate (80km/h above)
