APEX
Developed for athletes who perform in the most demanding winter environments, this eyewear sets a new standard in optical performance. Engineered to resist fog and repel water, it ensures sharp vision through rain, sweat, and extreme conditions. The frame integrates Nitinol, a shape-memory alloy, to dynamically adjust airflow, enhancing ventilation without compromising structural integrity.
YEAR
2026 15-week project
SOLO PROJECT
Completed independently from research through final concept.
DESIGN PROMPT
Build a new product designed for the year 2045
DESIGN GOAL
DESIGN A RUNNING PROTHETIC THAT OUTPERFORMS ITS COMPATITION
Traditional sports have become stagnant and are losing their appeal, creating a gap for a high-tech league that turns adaptive technology into a spectacle!
The system runs of a removable quick change battery system that sinks with the rig via contact circuit points on the back of the leg brace.
Motor
The upper frame is engineered to respond to elevated body temperature. When skin temperature reaches approximately 30–40°C (90–100°F) a range associated with intense physical exertion, the frame flexes upward to increase ventilation. As temperature drops below this threshold, the structure gradually returns to its original position, closing to restore coverage and stability.
