關於 MABY Smart Lighting System 模組化燈光系統

MABY係一套模組化智能燈光系統，專為打造裝飾性光雕而設計。呢套系統採用四種形狀嘅平面單元：三角形、正方形、五角形同六角形。各單元可以互相連接，因此可以砌出好多唔同嘅結構。彩色圖案板（稱為MABY skin）可貼喺每個單元上，改變佢嘅外觀。用家可透過觸控單元或使用手機應用程式，調校亮度、顏色以及開關狀態。設計意圖係喺家居環境中，支援唔同年齡層用家嘅創意表達。

獨特屬性: MABY’s purpose is to inspiring people’s creative expression. Anyone can freely build their ideas and create their own art. It does this through three unique features. First its cells allow users to envision and build any structures with ease. Second, sensors equipped cells add to maby’s versatility and playfulness by allowing users greater control. Third is maby Skin, a series of beautifully coloured pattern plates to complement the users’ visions and add to the aesthetic of the creations.

生產技術: I started out with a vision of 3D shapes that allow users to freely build their own structures, like my son’s blocks. Then I deconstructed the 3D blocks into sets of four different 2D shapes, called cells, to allow for max building flexibilities. Then, R&D resources were spent on the various plastic case and precise PCB design/lighting inside compact cells, calculating the torque exerted on the connectors, and perfecting the possible numerical methods and equations and computer programming.
設計挑戰: One of the most challenging aspects of maby was the cells’ connectors as they need to withstand the forces exerted on them while they’re being rotated 180 degrees with reverse polarity. They also serve as communication ports for data transmission from the App. Each mechanism inside the connector has done different trail sets. Seven generations of prototypes were created. 3D computer modelling to solve the linear algebra equation for programming code was also a major challenge to overcome.
研究: Applied research. To develop decoration lamp combines with art and technology build by user. Identify possible 2D and 3D shapes to be used Math, computer programming building demo cells, programming evaluation MABY cells communication with app. Collecting play experience from construction toys, compare light decoration from market. Various professional maby testimonial. MABY could result with infinite shapes. User capability beyond what they expected. Users proof MABY is suitable from kids to senior.
靈感: I got inspiration from my three-year old son as he was playing with his blocks and asked me was there any toys for daddy so he could build with me. This sparked my eagerness to create something that could inspire and connect everyone. So I began the maby project. The first signs of encouragement came when it received the Hong Kong invention patent funding. Then more exciting news came as it received the invention patents of five other countries shortly afterward. My son was also very keen on seeing the new parts of MABY as it was being developed and has been my cheerleader since the beginning.
項目時長: This project concept and research started in 2015. Product mechanism, firmware and APP structures started development from 2017 to 2018 which has gone through 5 eras of prototypes.
In March 2019, maby joined the exhibition "Marketing Pulse 2019" in Hong Kong as a partner company’s decoration. In September 2019, MABY joined Maison & Object in France. In December 2019, MABY was invited to Design Inspire in Hong Kong.
操作流程: Create – Visualize and build your maby sculpture design by connecting cells of different shapes (i.e. triangle, square, pentagon and hexagon)
Color - Connect your sculpture to the maby APP. Pick the cells you want to control and adjust their brightness, colours, on/off status via the maby APP interface or by touching the cells.
maby Skin - Attach the pattern plate, called maby Skin, to the inner ring of each cell to create your favourite maby style.
