We produce ergonomics-focused land-vehicle designs and
associated production tools, and also produce developer tools.
We focus on micro-mobility class vehicles.
We have produced a functional prototype of a rear-wheel-stabiliser design for a bicycle.
We are producing an MCAD tool for specifying component-assembly designs for such vehicles and
developing an associated "unit-construction-hub" for the production of such designs.
In addition, we have developed a new UI-design paradigm for PC-apps that is a simpler alternative to WIMP. This paradigm can be used to develop PC-apps with more ergonomic UIs.

The Specifier
An MCAD tool to create a specification of a structural-assembly.
It uses a hexagonal-grid is to simplify the specification of curves and surfaces -- a complex function using existing tools (such as Solidworks).
Unit-construction-hub (planned) A space, an installation, and a process repository for the production of a single land-vehicle unit. We are targeting lightweight, micro-mobility class vehicles as a vehicle type.

Rear-wheel-stabiliser
We have designed a bicycle-attachment that stabilises the rear-wheel
and also creates an extra load-bearing point just behind the bicycle.
It attaches to the rear-wheel spindle and includes a steering mechanism.
Roadster-bicycle suspension redesign (2018-2019) We redesigned the seating and suspension system of a roadster bicycle, and also added a small carrier for groceries. The suspension used a combination of a leaf-spring and a pair of coil-springs.
Design considerations for 3-wheeled transportation
We have analysed the design-considerations in the design of 3-wheeled transportation,
through an observation of bare-bones, cost-optimised operational designs.
Sub-compact hatchback (planned)
We plan to design a sub-compact 4-door hatchback that flows air through the car, features body-on-frame construction and a cabin-center driving position.
SUV roof redesign (2018-2022)
We redesigned the roof of an SUV to flow air through the car while keeping the rain out.
We also studied possible approaches to weatherization in such a vehicle.
[Developer tools]
Ergonomix
We are producing a developer-tool for designing app-UIs with InterUnit-UI (a WIMP alternative, designed by us, for better UI-ergonomics and reduced cognitive-load).
We were a company exploring personalised gadget design, between 2005-2016.
We explored the design of software-tools to produce GDSII layouts for an ASIC to implement a personalised gadget.
We were a company exploring the domain of digital music, between 1999-2005.
We explored algorithms for analysing digitised music targeting a music-teaching software application.
