4. SCEWO EXPERIENCE
➤ Safe Stair Climbing - The well established rubber
tracks give a smooth and safe ride on the stairs.
the very wide base of the rigid tracks the chair is
stable even on spiral stair cases.Transitioning on
and off the stair is automated and accomplished
by the push of a button.
➤ Driving Mode - The self balancing chair allows
for agile manoeuvring on spot and dynamic
driving also over common obstacles like curbs.
The user can either use the joystick or a shift in
body weight to control the chair.
➤ Stair Mode - The rubber tracks allow to smoothly
go up- and downstairs in a safe manner. The
transfers onto the stair and back to the floor are
automated.

5. SCEWO EXPERIENCE
➤ Safe Mode - This is the stationary mode. It is
used to get on and off the Scewo chair, getting
below a table and for standing still. It is also
possible to drive forwards and backwards
during this mode.
➤ Elevated Mode - The tracks and the small
wheels at the back can be lowered together
below the main wheel to rise the seat up. This
enables eye-to-eye communication and
reaching of higher lying objects.
➤ Track Mode - To overcome slippery surfaces
(like snow, loose gravel), bigger obstacles or
steep inclines the tracks can be lowered to the
ground for increased traction.

from Seesaw.

9. FLUME BATHTUB
➤ INSIGHT -
• In order for a disabled person to take a bath he/
she must receive an assistance of someone else.
Many disabled people who experienced the
preconception of others, may be reluctant to
receive assistance performing routine daily tasks.
➤ CONCEPT -
• The bathtub, which was designed using the
principle of SEESAW, has a point of entry which
is tilted so that it is easy to person move his/her
body from wheelchair to bathtub, also upon
entry, a feeling reminiscent of riding slide is
experienced which may cause to want to try the
use of bathtub.

10. FLUME BATHTUB
➤ PRINCIPLE -
• The design came from an idea obtained
from principle of SEESAW. the bathtub
lies tilted towards seat of bath tub. After
a disabled person climbs into the bathtub
and fills with water using faucet on right
side of bathtub, the bathtub begins to
centre itself gradually due to weight of
water. After a person finishes taking bath
and begins to drain water, the centre of
gravity of bathtub slowly causes it to tilt
backwards proportion to amount of water
remaining in bathtub. the user now able
to easily exit the bathtub.

11. TILTING SINK
A simple detail can change the
functionality.
11

12. TILTING SINK
➤ tilting sink is a sink that can adapt to
everyone. The common basin has been
re-imagined with a simple alteration to
accommodate all walks of life – a cut
along the body of the piece to allow it to
tilt according to the user’s height. By
rocking around an axis, the design can be
positioned to cater for a standing and
seated adult or children. A locking
system and a large overflow makes it
secure in the two positions of use.

13. TILTING SINK
➤ The basin can be positioned to serve either a
standing or seated adult or child and it will
also be safely secured into place. It does that
by rocking around an axis. It’s amazing how
such a simple detail can completely change the
functionality and the design of an item. The
basin has a very simple look, it has an all-
white design and a continuous shape with
delicate curves. This makes it particularly
versatile and allows it to be easily placed and
integrated in any type of bathroom.

15. CHOPPING BOARD.
➤ Cooking, like any art form requires skill and
passion. Passion comes easy, skill doesn’t…
and when one has the skill, being limited by
physical capabilities can be quite
disheartening.
➤ One ware is designed to eliminate the need
for a second hand. The chopping board
comes with spikes on which one can fix the
vegetables or fruits. Cutting them becomes
easier when the fruits/veggies are held in
place.
15

16. DISH WASHER.
➤ One ware is a set of kitchen apparatuses
for one-handed people who still want to
or need to cook. The name also has an
element of inclusion in it, one kitchen
and one soul!
➤ The One ware also has a dish-washing
mat made of a high-friction elastomer.
The mat’s textures help hold the dish in
place while one hand scrubs it vigorously.
Pores in the dish help drain the water
out.

Chair of Physics.

19. CHAIR OF PHYSICS
➤ SPEECH SYNTHESISER -
• A hardware synthesiser on back of the chair
translates written text into hawking’s
distinctive electronic voice.
➤ IR SENSOR -
• A tiny Infrared Sensor mounted on his
glasses detects when hawking moves his
cheek muscle.
➤ TABLET COMPUTER with 12’’ DISPLAY
• A Lenovo ThinkPad X230t with a core i7
processor controls all the systems on the
chair and the Day light readable screen
allows hawking to compose Lectures, check
his mails and even use Skype.
19

20. CHAIR OF PHYSICS
➤ UNIVERSAL REMOTE -
• An Infrared remote can operate TV,
Music, Lights and even the Doors, both at
work and at home.
➤ PERIPHERAL BOX -
• Contains a USB hub, Audio amplifier and
voltage regulators for different
subsystems.
➤ POWER -
• A Computer takes power from the
wheelchair batteries under the seat and
has its own backup battery too.

21. THOUGHT CONTROLLED WHEELCHAIR
➤ When you speak your brain send Nerve signals to
your throat, even if your muscles aren’t strong
enough to actually make audible sounds. in fact,
this subvocal speech happens even if you just
think the words in your head. Technology
originally developed at NASA Ames Research
Centre is now available asa a way for several
disabled people to control a speech synthesiser.
the user wears electrodes stuck to the skin of
their throat and simply thinks command words
such as ‘go left’ or ‘stop’. The tiny electrical
impulses are detected and decoded and the right
command is sent to wheelchair. Hawking has
tried brain interfaces like this but they are still
too inconsistent for him. At the moment, slight
shifts in the placement of the electrodes can see
the recognition rate drop from 94% to less than
50%.

What difference is a few
muscles more or less?”
