About Rotator Sustentaculum Telephonicum Mobile Multifunctionale

Rotator est sustentaculum telephonicum mobile multifunctionale quod cum altoparlante Bluetooth coniungit onerationem sine filo. Sustentaculum duas positiones onerandi praebet: onerationem planam, et onerationem in angulo sexaginta graduum quae telephonum erectum tenet ad videos spectandos. Duae virgae sustentantes ut moderatores funguntur, ita ut sonoritas altoparlantis et claritas scrinii telephonici temperari possint. Corpus ex thece aluminii cum tabella acrylica factum est, forma per machinationem CNC et impressionem tridimensionalem metallicam effecta. Rotator nonaginta per nonaginta per centum millimetra metitur.

Production Technology
This design is shaped by CNC machining technology and metal 3D printing technology. It's mainly composed of luminum case, wireless quick charging coil, wireless charging chip and acrylic panel.
Design Challenge
The challenge of the design is the innovative method of this phone charger.The technology and idea of this design was found. Still, it was not sure how to integrate each function of phone holder, charger and speaker. After a certain number of sketching and discussing about the project, finally, the proper selections which achieve the desired effect was found.
Research
In a fast-paced modern society where people are often doing more than one thing at a time, it used to be difficult to place a phone on a holder to browse the Web or watch videos while it was charging. If the phone can be placed in a charging phone holder, it will undoubtedly save users a lot of time. Meanwhile, the Bluetooth speaker feature can reduce anxiety by allowing users to play music without worrying about battery drain.
Inspiration
Existing phone holders are often lacking in functionality, only folding or charging. I want to maximize the functions of the mobile phone holder, and realize the combination of mobile phone holder, bluetooth speaker, charging, screen brightness and sound control , so as to provide maximum convenience for users.
Project Duration
The project started in January 2021 in LAFA Industrial Design Studio and finished in December 2021 in National Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center of Industrial Design in LAFA.
Operation Flow
Rotator has three functions: basic phone holder function, wireless charging function and Bluetooth speaker function.People can charge their phones while playing music or watching videos without worrying about losing power, and on top of that, they can adjust volume or brightness via two support sticks. ROTAOR can be adjusted to two angles to place the phone, one is 180° and the other is 60°. The 60° is suitable for people sitting down to watch a video, and the 180° is suitable for people conveniently placing the phone to charge. The design shows the application of ergonomics.
