Retrospective tablet design
Laveno Mangelsdorff, Jochen. Retrospective tablet design. 2012.
|
These tablet design suggestions are inspired by the retro futuristic era of the 50s and 60s. This era is kind of common in high end domestic appliances, but it is very rare seen in devices like mobile phones, tablets and computers. Pastel colours, organic shapes, chrome details. The design aims for a new way and new customers in the home electronic field.
This type of design is especially advantageous for tablets do to the tablet is getting a more central part in peoples home. |
Foldable bicycle
Laveno Mangelsdorff, Jochen. Foldable bicycle. 2009
This bike is developed to bring it along when you travel with public transportation systems.
One of the rules to be able to bring the bike into the subway and buses is; no sharp details and no visible chain. This is one of the reasons why many things are integrated in the bicycle and of course to keep it clean. The slip-in bag is developed to Protects it even more. The recognising element is very strong on this bicycle thanks to the frame that looks nearly identical when it is folded or unfolded. The asymmetry in the frame makes it more interesting and appealing for the eye. Innovative solutions have been a big focus during the development. An easy and fast folding procedure has been a big demand during this project. |

Neonode concept headphones
Laveno Mangelsdorff, Jochen. Neonode concept headphones. 2012.
This concept is based on “Neonodes Multi Sensing technology”. On the outside of the earmuff, a smoothly round integrated touch and gesture manoeuvring area is integrated. The shiny area is a Lightguide that transmit IR light over the plane area and makes it possible to control the music in a better way than the traditional cable navigator.
The list of improvements and usability will be long, but here are some of the most usable examples: Tapping for play/pause sweeping finger forward for fast forward. Add another finger for track forward. Rotate around to set the volume. |

36524 Ai retail store without staff
Laveno Mangelsdorff, Jochen. 36524 Ai retail store without staff. 2016.
“It is 2.45 in the morning when I leave the office to buy some food. It’s drizzling outside. I don’t have to walk far. The store glitters like gem a in the gray winter night. It is open. Well, it is always open. I hold my phone up against the lock, and the doors slide open. I step into the warmth. I quickly pick up what I need, a salad, some candy, a cup of coffee. I buy some batteries as well. I hold the products up in front of my phone, that X registers them to a grand total of $14,50. I press, “ok” and the door opens again. The hole process has taken less than a minute.
Somewhere in cyberspace, my card is processed, and even further away, a note is prepared to restock store b121 on AAA batteries. The whole experience has taken 3 minutes. As I leave, the computer voice bid me “Godo By John, have a great day”. Does this sound like something out of a Science Fiction novel? It is not. This store is live now in Stockholm and it’s sells more per m2 than any other store in the city.”

Video of how the proximity sensing works
|
This Seven inch device is something between a tablet and a laptop.
In unfolded mode it can be used as a keyboard or input for gaming. Each layer of Light-guide works as a touch area in x and y direction and together they work in z led. For example you can use your finger like a joystick. The two layers also makes it able to use your fingers to hover in the first layer and click in the next one. The design is inspired by the shape of a book with a concave shaped plastic between the frames on the outer part. Behind the concave part you’ll find proximity sensors that senses the distance from the device up to 20 cm. This increases the input on the device without making it bigger. The convex part can also be used as a scrolling wheel when sliding back and forth with your fingers. |
Mobile demo design
Laveno Mangelsdorff, Jochen. Mobile demo design. 2011.
The mobile demo is developed to show Neonodes technology. The demo shell is designed in two pieces of aluminium to be robust and also work as a stiffener. The shape is swiped around the screen and exit area of the IR-touch Light-guide with the same shape on front and backside.
The convex shape on the short sides makes the device look more gently and appealing. The design is made to refer not only to smartphones but also other kind of small touchscreen units like for example the GPS.

IR-light guided cover smartphone
Laveno Mangelsdorff, Jochen. IR-light guided cover smartphone. 2012.
This phone is developed to make it Neonodes Touch and sense solution more compatible on the smartphone market. The combined solution of Light-guide and cover makes this solution cheaper to produce and at the same time smaller overhang on the side of the device. The metal part that surrounds the screen works as the accent part of the design as well as protecting the optical mirror for the infrared light to travel.
This waterproof smartphone has integrated pressure sensing and proximity sensors on the top and bottom and also on the front.
The top and bottom proximity sensors can be used for gaming instead of doing it on your actual screen. The top proximity is good for scrolling and waking up the screen without the need of touch the screen. A good solution when cooking/baking and you have dirty fingers. |
