Hybrid track-wheel study
The board compares wheel and track configurations as a concept mechanism.
MOBILITY / M / 01CONCEPT DESIGN
OmniRover
Personal mobility, reimagined.
A wheelchair concept exploring a hybrid track-wheel layout, a sculpted shell and the relationship between a person and their means of moving.
THE STUDY
Design intent.
The original presentation imagines a wheelchair beyond a purely utilitarian silhouette. Blue and silver surfaces frame an open seating space, with a track-wheel mechanism proposed for different terrain scenarios.
CREDITS
Design study by Heron Tang.
A sculpted enclosure
Flowing body surfaces are explored around the seat, side openings and large wheels.
Use beyond one setting
Outdoor paths and steps appear as proposed use scenarios in the renderings.
