About Elastic Change 体重計

Elastic Changeは、体重を物理的な形で示すことを目指してデザインされた体重計です。表面は柔らかなシリコーン製で、人が乗ると膨らんだ球体のような感触が伝わります。荷重によって表面が沈み込むため、数値の変化を足裏でも感じ取ることができます。体重の異なる人が乗れば、沈み込みの深さもそれぞれ異なります。ベースはプレス加工された金属製で、G字形のマンガン鋼センサーが50グラム単位のわずかな変化まで計測します。サイズは300×300×80ミリメートルです。

Unique Properties: Every time when people stand on the scale, they will be cautiously looking forward to the changes of its value. Its surface is made of soft silicone material. When standing on, it is like stepping on a bulging sphere. The scale surface sinks with the change of the value and people can feel this change in an intuitive physical way. People with different weight have different depths of depressions on the scales. Displaying weight in an intuitive way brings a whole new way of experience.
Dimensions & Packaging: 300mmX300mmX80mm
Tags: Elasticity, Scale, Silicone, Soft, Change, Dent,
Production Technology: The scale surface is made of soft silica gel, the chassis is stamped, and the G-shaped manganese steel sensor can measure accurately to 50g changes.
Design Challenge: The silica gel material and the G-shaped manganese steel sensor must match the data to achieve a weight change of 50g that can be finely tested.
Research: very time people step on the scale, they carefully watch the number with expectation. As the numbers change, so do the expectations and uneasiness in people heart. The scale surface is made of soft silica gel, with a certain elasticity, and they need to stand up carefully. The soft and elastic feeling of instability at the foot echoes the expectation of anxiety. When people stand up, it is like stepping on a bulging ball. Leave the bathroom scale, elastic said face slowly recovering, then can see according to its own weight on the formation of the concave, as the change of their body weight, every development of concave depth on the surface of the said, people of different weight scales the depth of the surface sag is different also, will be displayed in the form of visual weight, brings a new experience.
Inspiration: Every time when people stand on the scale, they will be cautiously looking forward to the changes of its value. Its surface is made of soft silicone material. When standing on, it is like stepping on a bulging sphere. The scale surface sinks with the change of the value and people can feel this change in an intuitive physical way. People with different weight have different depths of depressions on the scales. Displaying weight in an intuitive way brings a whole new way of experience.
Project Duration: The project started in Guangzhou in April 2020 and will be completed in Guangzhou in August 2020.
Operation Flow: The scale surface is made of soft silicone material. When standing up, it is like stepping on a bulging sphere. The scale surface of the drum sinks with the change of the value. And people can feel this change in an intuitive physical way.People with different weights have different depths of depressions on the scales.Displaying weight in an intuitive way brings a whole new way of experience.
