senso. a companion for lifeConcept by Pelin Celik in coop. with Pilotfish - 2005
Senso is a three-part product concept that on the one hand deals with the communication world of dementia patients and on the other hand goes into the individual needs of persons without dementia. Because both have one thing in common: forgetting.
The concept is designed for an early to a moderately severe stage of dementia. It is composed of a Personal Lifebook, a Souffleur and an EMO Pillow. All three are supportive products that enable the sufferer to remember situations or names of people again, find the way back home, or calm situations in which they feel helpless and lost.
Senso thereby helps dementia patients retain their identity and independence as long as possible and allows them to actively take part in life instead of feeling excluded from society.

life science design award nominee 2005ITRI RoppieHome Service Robot
Easy interaction between humans and robots was long subject to fiction movies. Today, this is becoming more fact than fiction. The service robot Roppie was designed for the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) Taiwan in 2009. Roppie uses "Eye to Motion" technology, smartly translating images from an integrated camera into corresponding actions. The blue patches on his body hide a collection of sensors that convert physical interaction into digital input. The result is shown through two LCD displays, one on Roppie's face and one on his chest, used to tell emotion and output information respectively.
Designed as an amiable assistant with a kid-like character, Roppie has a clean and friendly exterior.

OndoMusic Editing Phone - 2008 / 2009
The Ondo concept enables OEMs to visualize a new form of user interaction for mobile phones. The target user for Ondo is the music enthusiast who seeks to interactively capture and edit sounds. Going beyond software-based solutions of other products, it is specifically designed to effectively collect pure sounds and is specially constructed to create a tactile sound editing experience.
Made from form-sensitive flexible materials, Ondo allows the user to modify recorded sounds by physically twisting and bending the device.
Another innovative feature of Ondo are the three removable display "sticks". In their normal state, the "sticks" act as a unified touch display for the mobile device. When removed, each can be separately clipped onto a musical instrument or person to capture live sound. Like a portable recording studio, Ondo makes mixing tracks easy, because each "stick" picks up isolated sounds from each individual instrument. The recordings can be immediately sent via MMS (Multimedia Messaging) around the globe allowing musicians at different geographical locations to jam together.
In party mode, Ondo works as a digital mixer enabling the user to create seamless transitions between songs. This is made easy with interactive touch functions combined with integrated software support.

Today's image-guided surgery is a very complicated process, as it presents a number of challenges to the acting physician. In addition to medical expertise, it requires good spatial perception and the ability to coordinate and conduct various complex processes at the same time to complete surgical procedures successfully.
The Augmented Intervention Assistant (AIA) has been designed to simplify these processes, create an ergonomic working environment, and provide intelligent support during operations.
A head-mounted display-based system, the AIA combines pre-operational images with the position tracking of instruments, the operating field, and the surgeon to augment the physician's field of view with virtual information. Surgeons thus gain access to information during operations that had not been available to them in this form up to now.
During operations, an augmented reality interface provides additional information such as patient anatomy, positions of tumour tissues, pre-operational planning, and other relevant data, which allows the surgeon to precisely mark out tumour tissues or critical areas.
The head-mounted displays units are charged on a control and loading station designed as a surgical armrest to save space in the operating theater. Carrying up to two head-mounted display units, the control and loading station conducts the fusion of data and transfer of information to the head-mounted displays.

IDEA Silver Award 2011
red dot award 2010ITRI MediRobotMedical Robotic Assistant - 2010
Since 2008, Pilotfish has collaborated on a number of research projects with the national Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan (ITRI).
The intuitively-operated MediRobot lifts and transfers patients in hospitals without the need for an extra wheelchair. At the same time, it considerably reduces the physical efforts for the caregiver. The device body provides crucial patient info to the caregiver and serves as intuitive infotainment terminal for the patient.
The project was conducted in collaboration with Taipei Municipal Yan Ming Home for the Disabled.
iF award 2011OnyxMulti-Touch Phone - 2005 / 2006
Based on the Synaptics ClearPad technology, the Onyx concept phone was the first handset prototype to introduce a fully adaptive user interface that eliminates the need for mechanical buttons and allows for gesture-based input. Pilotfish built on the novel interaction and industrial design possibilities offered by this technology and created a cutting-edge user interface and industrial design model that inspired new ways of designing handheld devices.
red dot award 2006Vision NotebookMultimedia Notebook - 2005
The Vision Notebook is designed to offer an enhanced multimedia experience. A generous secondary display on the top cover allows for music playback. The inside is extending the top cover in order to create a "stage-feeling" for the users who can easily access, edit and enjoy their media data. A new feature is the capacitive touch icons on the perimeter of the keypad and main display. The icons can be customised by users to include shortcuts to their favourite programs. The backlit keyboard uses electroluminescent film to create a uniform light and multimedia look.
JBL Headphone StudyPortable Headphones - 2007
The new JBL portable headphones are seen as an extension of the human body - not external, rational objects, but integrations into the private environment of the users. This is supported by the organic formal language of the products, which seek to join with the user's body, instead of adding on to it. This people-friendly approach is underscored by the haptic qualities of the materials used, as well as the colour world of the products.
The portable headset is composed of a flexible band that rests on the back of the neck and holds itself over the ears. The tension in the material provides the adjustment for head size and holds the speakers gently to the ears. At rest, the headphone band collapses and the speaker ends rest next to each other.
The assembly of the headphones consists of the outer flexible shell and an interior padding consisting of a flexible back plate and neoprene rubber. The two components are connected together with a hook-and-slot system, which allows for an easy assembly in production. This system also allows for after-sales part exchange and customisation by the user.
