About Wheel X Vairas

Wheel X – tai koncepcinis vairas, sukurtas ateities automobiliams. Jo forma reaguoja į skirtingus vairuotojų poreikius įvairiose vairavimo situacijose. Rankena automatiškai išsitęsia ir pasisuka, kad būtų galima persijungti tarp trijų režimų: bepiločio vairavimo, natūralaus vairavimo ir sportinio vairavimo. Įprastoje būsenoje forma yra apvali ir lygi. Paspaudus mygtuką, rankena iš O formos pavirsta į W formą, vidinis paviršius įgauna iškiliąją tekstūrą, o išorinėje pusėje atsiranda dinamiškas apšvietimas. Karkasas pagamintas iš cinko lydinio, o korpuse naudojamas PU ir TPEE.

Production Technology: The skeleton is a zinc alloy material, produced by die casting. The shell is composed of PU and TPEE, produced in a foaming machine. The grip is composed of silica and woven fabric.
Design Challenge: The first part is the analysis of the evolution trend of the steering wheel in the future, the second part is the research on the emotional needs of different types of drivers on the steering wheel, and the last part is what method should be adopted to switch the steering wheel mode and my thinking on the folding form.
Research: This is a research on the interactive experience of car driving. The research goal is to help meet the user's driving emotional needs through the redefinition of the steering wheel. Methods such as swot and double diamond design process are used to improve the human-computer interaction of the product and users. The experience has been researched. The experimental results show that the user's mood will be adjusted in two states of relaxation and tension during each driving process, and each state will continue to complete a driving activity. Therefore, the research results are through the shape change of the steering wheel, Tactile changes, visual changes to adapt to the user's psychological state, which will make the future steering wheel more intelligent.
Inspiration: Different driving scenarios will have different emotional expectations. For example, going to work and vacation, one is racing against time, and the other is enjoying the scenery. If your steering wheel can change according to your mood at the moment, then you may be more comfortable to operate.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2021 and was completed in November 2021 at China Academy of Art, Zhejiang Province, China.
Operation Flow: Wheel X can be divided into two states, "Natural" and "Sport". In the "Natural" state, the Wheel X shows a round and smooth shape. When the user presses the button, the Wheel X will change to "Sport" state, and it will automatically rotate the grip to realize the transformation from "O" shape to "W" shape. At this moment, the grip of the steering wheel will be similar to that of the racing car, the roughness of the grip will be enhanced, and there will be a lighting effect to set off the user's mood at this moment.
