Envisioning the Future of On-Demand Air Transportation
UBER Air aims to have it's first on-demand air travel demonstration to the public in year 2020. In a multidisciplinary team of 4 of interaction design, graduate transportation system design and graduate industrial design students, we were challenged to envisioned the future of on-demand air travel and design a holistic system of eVTOL, Skyport and Mobile interface to deliver a safe, hassle-free and convenient experience for busy commuters in Dallas, Dubai and Los Angeles.
Wheelchair to prevent secondary pain and illness
Our societies are aging. In South Korea aging is a big problem. It is the fastest aging society in the world and more than 20% of the entire population will be 60 or above by the year 2026. As the population is growing older, disabled population is growing in numbers due to disabilities developed while ageing. Today, 50.4% of physically disabled people in Korea are on wheelchairs and I believe the numbers will increase. What's more concerning is that people develop other illnesses or pains on wheelchairs.
One Platform, Multiple Application
Personalization
By having one platform and multiples of applications, users will have the freedom of choosing the perfect size and color for them. Through this system, users may also change the fabric of seat considering weather conditions and personal taste.
Personas and Stories
User's reliance and behavioral patterns on wheelchairs rely on their physiological, physical health and attitude. Stepping into their shoes help us think and understand the different needs, desires and concerns.
Apartments and Context
70% of the entire Korean population are living in cities and 50% of them are living in apartments. Therefore I believed it is critical to design wheelchairs suitable for apartment environments.

Gathering
Data
Qualitative data is collected having conversations with wheelchair users; both long-term and short-term.
Analyzing different category of activities
ust by sitting on a same spot for the whole day is tiring and stressful. Especially if you are depending on the wheelchair for moving yourself around.
Studying
ergonomics
Sitting on wheelchairs for a long period of time is not suitable for human body and may develop secondary pain that may develop into other physical disabilities
Market Research & Product Offerings
There are 3 main types of wheelchairs. Manual, hybrid and electric and each has it's positive and negative aspects. Deciding which type to develop wasn't the point to develop in this project.
