how to crash a euro-palette with a forklift


There was a presentation of a one week workshop about car-security at UID today. One of the groups built a full-scale model of a car cockpit - with a camera projecting content to the field of view. Impressive!

The whole workshop was a collaboration of all the 2nd year master students at UID. That meant, that transportation designers, product designers and interaction designers grouped and worked on different concepts for 5 days.

After working on a few car related projects in the past, some of the stuff was not totally new and mind-blowing, but there were some really interesting approaches, that will be discovered in following projects at UID.

I passed by the project room from time to time, and it seemed to be great fun...Some guys attached a car seat on a manual forklift and crashed it against a europallete to see what happens...They used a human dummy (he was actually missing at the presentation :) )
