sejarah VW "KODOK"

2008-11-19T07:55:00.000-08:00

VW Kodok, atau resminya VW Type 1, adalah sebuah mobil kecil yang diproduksi oleh Volkswagen. Juga dikenal dengan Beetle atau Bug dalam bahasa Inggris, atau Käfer dalam bahasa Jerman, WV Kodok merupakan salah satu mobil yang paling mudah dikenal di dunia, dikarenakan oleh bentuknya yang khas, bunyinya yang unik, dan kehandalannya.

VW Kodok diproduksi mulai tahun 1938 sampai 2003, walau sempat terhenti oleh Perang Dunia II. Pada rentang masa yang panjang ini, lebih dari 21 juta VW Kodok dibuat.

Dalam sebuah polling internasional untuk penghargaan mobil yang paling berpengaruh, VW Kodok menempati peringkat keempat setelah Ford Model T, Mini dan Citroën DS.

Asal mula mobil ini berasal dari jaman Nazi Jerman pada tahun 1930an. Adolf Hitler menginginkan agar kendaraan pribadi dapat tersedia untuk masyarakat umum, dan menugaskan seorang insinyur, Ferdinand Porsche, untuk merancang kendaraan tersebut. Hitler mensyaratkan bahwa kendaraan ini harus mampu mengangkut dua orang dewasa dan tiga anak kecil, pada kecepatan 100 km/jam, dan harganya tidak melebihi harga sepeda motor ditambah harga boncengan samping sepeda motor pada waktu itu.

Perancang mobil yang sebenarnya masih kontroversial, karena walaupun secara resmi Ferdinand Porsche adalah perancangnya, pada 1920-an, Joseph Ganz telah merancang mobil yang mirip. Mobil tersebut lebih kecil dan lebih murah, namun para produsen mobil tidak tertarik, justru dua produsen sepeda motor yang tertarik. Adler memproduksi Maikäfer, dan Standard memproduksi Superior, dan mengkampanyekan dalam iklan sebagai ‘Der Deutsche Volkswagen’ (mobil rakyat Jerman).

Ketika Nazi mulai berkuasa, mereka menyukai Superior, namun tidak lama kemudian, Joseph Ganz dimasukkan ke penjara. (Ia kemudian kabur ke Swiss). Kemungkinan alasan dipenjaranya Ganz adalah karena Nazi mengetahui bahwa ia adalah seorang Yahudi. Pemerintah Nazi kemudian mendekati Porsche, yang merancang prototipe mobil yang mirip dengan Superior, yang dinamakan Käfer. Menurut Volkswagen, tidak hanya Ganz yang telah merancang mobil dengan desain mirip, dan Käfer sendiri bukan didesain berdasarkan rancangan Ganz.

Perusahaan Volkswagen dapat bertahan setelah Perang Dunia atas usaha seorang tentara Inggris, Mayor Ivan Hirst. Setelah perang, Hirst diperintah untuk mengepalai pabrik yang telah rusak dibombardir Sekutu dan dikuasai Amerika Serikat. Dimulai dengan usahanya membuang bom yang tidak meledak yang tersangkut di antara mesin produksi, ia kemudian berhasil meyakinkan angkatan bersenjata Inggris untuk memesan 20.000 mobil. Pada tahun 1946, pabrik tersebut telah dapat memproduksi 1.000 mobil per bulan.

Produksi VW Kodok “Type 1″ berkembang pesat dari tahun ke tahun, dan pada 1954 mencapai 1 juta mobil. Pada 1973, produksi telah mencapai 16 juta, dan popularitas mobil telah menyebar ke berbagai penjuru dunia. Mobil ini memiliki nama julukan yang berbeda-beda pada setiap negara, namanya biasanya berupa istilah yang mencoba menggambarkan bentuknya yang unik: Käfer di Jerman; Sedan, lalu Fusca di Brasil; Coccinelle di Perancis; Σκαθάρι (Scathari yang berarti kumbang) atau Σκαραβαίος (Scaraveos yang berarti kumbang jenis Scarabaeidae) di Yunani; Maggiolino di Italia; Sedán atau Vocho di Meksiko; Kever di Belanda; kotseng kuba (yang berarti ‘mobil punggung bongkok’)/”pagong” (kura-kura) di Filipina; Garbus (yang berarti ‘Bongkok’) in Polandia; Brouk di Republik Ceko; Carocha di Portugal; Escarabajo di Spanyol dan Amerika Latin; Hipushit di Israel; Косτенурка (Kostenurka) di Bulgaria (yang berarti kura-kura); عقروقة (Ag-ru-ga) in Iraq; Boble (gelembung) di Norwegia; Buba di Kroasia; Bug di Amerika Serikat, dan tentunya Kodok di Indonesia.

Chess, Cell-Car Concept

2008-11-08T23:55:00.000-08:00

Chess is a cell-car concept where passengers are put in a cell above a platform containing the engine and wheels. The cell can move over the platform in any direction. If a sensor, placed in the platform, detects a possible crash, the passenger-cell is moved away from the expected impact area. This results in more (deformable) distance between impact and passengers, thus higher survival-chances. Depending on position, speed, and place of impact, the passenger-cell moves to the most optimal position to protect the occupants

The new B&D messenger

2008-09-20T12:58:00.000-07:00

The new B&D messenger is a revolutionary device designed for users with visual and hearing impairment, enabling them to communicate easily with the regular cell phone user. The basic working of the device is that it is connected to computer and the internet which translates Braille to text and vice versa thus sensing and receiving SMS to the normal user. While for a visually impaired person, the device comes with two options such as the messages can be delivered in Braille format or the same can be read out aloud depending upon the mode one chooses while for the hearing impaired it can be used as a normal cellphone for reading and sending text messages. So happy messaging!

There are several already made Braille products existing in the market. However, other than heavy and large in size, most of them are also highly priced. B&D messenger was designed to solve these problems. We intended to design following aspects: Cost effectiveness and Functionality. General Braille display or TTY system that are available right now are too expensive in price. To reduce its cost, B&D Messenger is built with an open source platform, Arduino and Processing. Currently, in order to keep the price low and affordable, a basic B&D messenger still runs by a connection to a computer, however if the user seeks portability a wireless connection can be made by ordering an optional Bluetooth module that can be easily attached on to the micro controller. In addition, by running under the Internet, no cost will be needed for sending and receiving messages. Small and Light. To accomplish this objective, all of the adopting materials we choose are lightweight. The triangle shape is chosen to be consistent with the other existing devices and the design was limited in accordance with the LCD size. Do-It-Yourself. B&D Messenger is designed to have a less complex construct. The case should be easy to make and ensemble with a recycled hard paper attached inside the kit. All basic electronic parts come with customized and presoldered state.

Helios Grill Transforms Sunlight into Heat to Grill Your Food

2008-08-03T06:39:00.001-07:00

Helios is a grill with the energy-efficiency of a solar oven. It stores upright to keep a small footprint and easily cantilevers open and locks in place, when you are ready to cook. In order to maximize safety, Helios is designed so that the reflective solar dish is pointed away from you while cooking. If the time of day or weather is not appropriate for solar grilling, it features a retractable plug, stored in the base, as an alternative energy source. Helios utilizes a reflective parabolic dish to focus sunlight onto a solar receptor, transforming it into usable energy. The energy travels from the parabolic dish to the grilling platform and heats a coil in order to cook food. Green and Healthy, Bon Apetite !

Futuristic Three Wheel Car Concept by Matus Prochaczka

2008-07-29T06:41:00.000-07:00

Designer Matus Prochaczka from Slovak has come up with an unseen and unbelievable vehicle concept that can make you crazy on roads. He has named it MAG magnetic vehicle concept that runs on magnetic power and uses an electric engine that has a polarity. Its shape is similar to a ‘Whale coming towards you with an open mouth’. It is a 2-seater vehicle and definitely a unique design which you can not even imagine in your dreams. Not only this, MAG is also a winner of the Unseen Technology award at the interior motives design award 2007. There is only one thing that can stop you from having this vehicle is that it requires the roads to be made of huge panels with magnets formed in them. So, I guess it is not possible for every city to incorporate such demand in its infrastructure.

The driver seat is an orating one thus giving easy access to the driver while entering and alighting from the seat. That’s not all as the seats in the back also have comfortable seating for two people, so just zip through the roads.

The new DN01 design by Honda

2008-07-25T01:03:00.000-07:00

The new DN01 design by Honda surely can be termed as outlandish. The stunningly beautiful design combines the exhaust of Hornet 600 while providing rear end storage in maxi scooter. It will boast of 680cc v-twin engine with fat header pipes on display as in cruiser style, even cruiser-style foot boards and shift drive with ABS. The ride seems comfortable as it is a laid back version of the maxi scooter and on a long open road it definitely is a comfort ride. Also it comes in manual 6-speed sports mode and in full automatic drive mode thus giving the feel of a car in a bike. With no gear changer, is this really a motorcycle? Or is it some strange kind of scooter? Honda definitely brings a beginning of revolution in bikes.

Honda’s unique DN-01 motorcycle goes on sale on Friday 1 August from Honda Motorcycle dealers across the UK .

Available in two sleek colours of graphite black and pearl amethyst purple and priced at £9200*, the DN-01 - dream concept turned production reality motorcycle - with fully automatic transmission, is a truly unique machine in the world of motorcycling and defies being categorised.

Honda’s team of engineers set out to create an entirely new category of motorcycle and sought to combine elements of swift superbike performance, relaxed custom cruiser riding comfort, operating ease of a big scooter, attention grabbing and futuristic styling with unparalleled technological advancements.

It’s not a sportsbike, a cruiser, a scooter, a naked bike, adventure bike or a sports-tourer: it’s a new-breed of machine which couples performance, poise, comfort and practicality, all wrapped up in futuristic and radical styling whilst boasting some of the latest Honda technology.

Pendidikan Desain Produk Industri (apakah sudah memenuhi standard profesi?)

2008-06-21T01:36:00.000-07:00

Written by Carroll Gantz
Tuesday, 05 July 2005
Pendidikan Desain Produk Industri: Apakah sudah memenuhi standard profesi ? oleh Carroll Gantz, FIDSA Banyak profesional yang akan menjawab dengan serentak, "TIDAK !" Meskipun selalu ada mahasiswa luarbiasa yang mampu membalik anggapan tersebut, namun secara mayoritas belumlah siap, baik secara teknik dan motivasi, untuk melakukan secara baik dalam lapangan kerja dimana mereka telah dipersiapkan. Mereka seringkali menemukan kesulitan atau bahkan mustahil untuk mendapatkan posisi dalam sebuah kerja profesional. Jika mereka bisa, mereka juga seringkali membutuhkan beberapa tahun pelatihan-kembali dan pengalaman untuk mendapatkan produktivitas minimal. Hanya beberapa yang memiliki "sense" dalam dunia bisnis, apalagi kemampuan untuk mendirikan firma desain mereka sendiri. Dalam sebuah pasar dimana keahlian dalam computer aided design adalah sebuah nilai yang tinggi, hanya beberapa lulusan yang bisa memanfaatkannya. Kemampuan presentasi verbal dan tulisan jarang dimiliki. Dan yang paling menyedihkan, banyak yang tidak realistis dalam harapan mereka sendiri dan lupa pada permintaan-permintaan dari atasan dan calon klien mereka. Bagi siswa-siswa dan orang tuanya yang membayar lebih dari 100.000 dollar amerika untuk sebuah program yang direkomendasikan oleh profesinya dan diakreditasi oleh Asosiasi Sekolah Seni dan Desain Nasional Amerika (NASAD), dengan pemahaman dan pengharapan bahwa gelar tersebut tidak hanya untuk mengawali karir, tapi juga sesuatu yang menimbulkan prestise dan respek; lapangan kerja yang nyata yang disembunyikan,kurang lebihnya. Yang terburuk, mereka merasa dicurangi. Para praktisi lapangan merasa disakiti. Dimana pendidikan adalah sesuatu yang selalu kompleks, masalah utamanya justru kelihatan jelas. Profesi desainer produk industri telah berubah secara radical lebih dari 50 tahun terakhir. Pengurangan tenaga kerja telah mengurangi posisi yang tersedia, yang kemudian meningkatkan kebutuhan untuk menjadi enterpreneur. Keahlian menggalbar dan membuat model secara manual telah diganti dengan teknologi komputer. Ekspresi individu harus diganti dengan kerjasama multi-multidisiplin dan pemahaman praktek bisnis. Pada akhir abad, desain bukan lagi seni, dan tidak ada lagi pelindungnya (patron). Desain adalah bisnis Namun pada waktu 50 tahun yang sama, pendidikan desain produk industri tetap tidak berubah. Para pendaftar masih dipilih dengan dasar potensi keahlian "artistik" mereka, tingkah laku dan motivasi. Beberapa tahun belajar seni kadang masih dibutuhkan sebelum pendidikan desain yang "sebenarnya" dimulai. Estetis dan teori desain dinilai terlalu lebih daripada esensi teknik dan bisnis. Sesuatu dalam pendidikan telah berubah, tetapi bukan untuk menjadi lebih baik. Kebijaksanaan yang dikontrol oleh materi (uang kuliah) memberikan nafas pada kuantitas daripada kualitas, dan melubernya inflasi lulusan mengakibatkan performa jelek dapat lulus dengan nilai tinggi Sistem dosen tetap (tenured faculty), dilakukan pada pendidikan tahun 60an, seringkali menanamkan kepada mahasiswa, kehendak pendidiknya sendiri dan tingkah laku anti-bisnis. Mereka itu, bukanlah praktisi, melainkan ahli teori. Mengapa pendidikan desain gagal untuk menyamakan langkahnya dengan perubahan yang terjadi pada profesi ini ? Mengapa banyak lulusan yang tidak dapat menembus profesi level fresh graduate ? Jawabannya terdapat pada beberapa tempat spesifik dan tertentu yang tidak tertampung dalam sistem itu sendiri, beberapa diantaranya sulit diubah. Yang pertama adalah wabah dosen tetap. Hampir semua orang non akedemis tidak dapat membayangkan kekuatan dosen tetap pada administrasi universitas. Pertahanan mereka terhadap perubahan adalah memberi penghargaan kepada para dosen tetap atas kepatuhannya, bukan kepada mereka yang mengembangkan keahlian dan ide-de baru. Pada dasarnya : pejabat/dosen tetap, bagaimanapun ketidakmampuannya, tidak bisa dipecat. Banyak anggaran jurusan tercurah untuk salary dosen tetap, dengan rendahnya kapasitas pengajaran mereka. Jadi, banyak pengajar junior dibutuhkan untuk menyampaikan materi yang sebenarnya, sementara sedikit yang tersisia untuk peralatan, supply dan fasilitas. Diatas masalah ini, dosen tetap mengembangkan program S2 yang mahal, bukan karena mereka tertarik pada profesi ini, tapi karena program tersebut menghasilkan dosen junior baru, jabatan prestigius di dunia pendidikan, dan tentu saja, bekerja pada dosen tetap. Inilah mengapa biaya kuliah semakin besar, dan mengapa pengurangan staff sebagai kunci dari produktivitas tidaklah diperlukan. Dengan sistem tetap yang bertentangan dengan jaman ini, perubahan terhadap pendidikan akan susah dilakukan. Kedua, tidak ada mekanisme internal untuk mengukur efektivitas performance dari para lulusan dalam profesi sebenarnya. NASAD memfokuskan pada kriteria seperti fasilitas, salary dosen, anggaran, dan jam kredir; bukan pada performa mahasiswanya. Tim evaluasi NASAD terdiri dari pendidik yang dipilih oleh pendidik. Asosiasi Desainer Produk Amerika (IDSA), yang dari tahun 1970 sampai tahun 1984 menjalankan sendiri Program Pengakuan Sekolah independen dengan evaluasi dari para praktisi sebagai bagian darinya, kini tidak lagi melakukan hal tersebut. Dengan tidak adanya kriteria atau pengukuran performa profesional, susah untuk dilakukan perubahan pada pendidikan. Ketiga, tidak adanya pengaruh pasar dari luar pada program akademis, seperti pada dunia luar, yang mungkin bisa memaksa perubahan kurikulum, jurusan dan performa mahasiswa yang lebih kompetitif, atau pengurangan pengeluaran. Banyak program yang membayar komentar dari praktisi sebagai input melalui dewan penasehat, yang mereview program dan mempersiapkan rekomendasi keluaran, hanya untuk melihatnya menjadi debu tanpa terlaksana. Tetapi ada beberapa harapan. Jika profesi desain produk industri dapat mendesak tekanan pasar yang sebenarnya pada sekolah, perubahan akan terjadi. Yang dibutuhkan adalah tindakan dramatis dan berani oleh para praktisi. Dan mengapa tidak ? Praktisi desain produk induktrilah, yang sebenarnya, memicu sistem pendidikan seperti sekarang, lebih dari 60 tahun yang lalu. Dua program pertama diciptakan oleh direktur desain perusahaan pertama pada Westinghouse, Donald Dohner. Pada tahun 1944, sebuah kurikulum 4 tahun yang ideal diciptakan oleh badan sebelum IDSA, Industria Designer Institute (IDI), berdasarkan pendapat umum anggotanya--semuanya praktisi. Ini kemudian menjadi model program pengajaran pasca perang. Tujuan dari program pendidikan pertama ini adalah untuk mempersiapkan mahasiswa atas kebutuhan mendesain pada industri dan pegawai studio desain pasca perang, atau pada praktek independen di lapangan. Program ini memasukkna pendidikan seni dasar untuk menghasilkan konsep visual dua dan tiga dimensi yang efektif, dan pendidikan secara general, diantaranya termasuk komunikasi verbal, fisika, sejaran seni, prosedur bisnis, drafting, riset pasar, metode produksi, dan matematika. Lalu, pendidik profesional mengambil alih. Pada tahun 1948, ada 22 program mengajar desain produk industri, yang bersama-sama, membentuk apa yang kemudian menjadi Asosiai Sekolah Seni dan Desain Nasional (NASAD), dan menerapkan akreditasi pada semua program seni dan desain. Hal tersebut terus dilakukan, dan sejak tahun 1984, hasilnya dipublikasikan, tetapu tidak memenuhi performa standard fresh graduate yang dikembangkan oleh IDSA. Jadi, mengapa tidak IDSA, satu-satunya organisasi nasional yang mewakili profesi desain produk industri, mengambil tanggung jawab tindakan tambahan yang dibutuhkan untuk memproduksi pengaruh pasar yang sebenarnya untuk perubahan pendidikan ? Jalan paling efektif untuk melakukan itu adalah melalui setifikat desainer produk yang disetujui IDSA melalui tes nasional. Tindakan semacam ini. jika dilakukan, akan mengikuti tindakan disiplin ilmu lain seperti teknik, arsitektur dan desain interior, yang sudah bertahun-tahun melakukan tes untuk standard minimum dalam lapangan kerja mereka. Sertifika IDSA bukanlah sebuah ide baru. Setalah bertahun-tahun membandingkan pilihan aturan-aturan, termasuk pendaftaran dan prijinan, IDSA menyimpulkan bahwa sertifikat tersebut adaalh cara paling ekonomis dan efektif. Pada tahun 1970, IDSA mengembangkan dasar kualifikasi entry level dan masih mempublikasikannya pada direktori tahunan. Sebuah rencana kualifikasi pemeriksaan untu tes tersebut telah dipersiapkan untuk diterapkan setalah persetujuan NASAD tahun 1984, bagian dari rencana jangka panjan IDSA, tetapi tidak ada tindakan lanjutan yang dilakukan. Yang terbaru, sebuah Task Force IDSA, ditunjuk untuk mereviews peran IDSA dalam pendidikan desain, direkomendasikan pada tahun 1995, " IDSA mengambil inisiatif untuk proses sertifikasi formal untuk mengenali standard minimal untuk berpraktek di lapangan kerja desain produk industri. Sertifikasi IDSA tidak akan menjadi patokan baru dan hanya akan menjadi sebuah pengakuan standard oleh IDSA" Meskipun diterima, 2 Administratif IDSA yang berkutnya tidak mengambil tindakan apapun atas rekomendasi ini, kemungkinan karena adanya kesibukan denngan program IDSA excelent award, yang sayangnya, memiliki sedikit pengaruh pada program pendidikan. Sukarelawan percobaab sertifikasi IDSA dapat berhubungan langsung, atau tidak berhubungan dengan keanggotaan IDSA. Biaya administrasi dan percobaan, dilakukan dengan basisi regional, yang dapat diambil dari biaya pendaftaran. Saat ini sudah tersedia jaringan nasional untuk fasilitas dan personal untuk percobaan secara mandiri, yang melakukan pelayanan yang sama untuk semua organisasi profesional. IDSA hanya butuh untuk menampilkan nama baiknya saja dan menyetujui percobaan itu, tidak melaksanakan sendiri proses percobaannya. Berlawanan dengan sistem yang lama, keterlibatan negara bagian atau pemerintah tidak dibutuhkan. Apa yang dapat menjadi keuntungan dari program sertifikasi IDSA ini ? Untuk pertama kalinya, praktisi pada entry level dapat dites kemampuannya sesuai dengan standard profesinal dan menjadi "desainer produk bersrtifikasi IDSA". Kesuksesan (atau kegagalan) mereka akan merefleksikan secara langsung sekolah mereka, yang kemudian akan menjadi catatan pengaruh pasar dari luar secara nyata, mekanisme dan biaya yang kompetitif bagi sekolah dibandingkan dengan standard profesi sebenarnya. Perusahaan yang membutuhkan desainer, untuk pertama kalinya, dapat menerima bukti dari kemampuan kandidat profesionalnya. Apa gunanya yang dulu menjadi lulusan mengambang dan potfolio seadanya yang lebih sesuai untuk sekolah seni daripada dunia bisnis ? Apa gunanya dulu banyak lulusan tetapi banyak yang tidak kompeten secara profesional ? Proses penyaringan yang dilakukan oleh sertifikasi IDSA akan mengurangi resiko dari menyewa dan mahalnya pelatihan kembali dari perusahaan. Para praktisi desain, untuk pertama kalinya, dapat menerima kepercayaan secara profesional dari klien. Dalam sebuah jaman dimana lulusan sarjana 10 kali lebih banyak daripada 50 tahun yang lalu, dan hampir tidak berarti secara profesional, praktisi butuh lebih dari sebuah peningkatan nilai lulusan S1 untuk mendemonstrasikan qualifikasi superior mereka. Mahasiswa, untuk pertama kalinya, dapat tahu secara pasti apa yang dituntut oleh dunia profeisi pada mereka. Yang lebih penting, mereka dapat tahu apakah mereka dapat memenuhi kebutuhan tersebut. Sertifikasi IDSA pasti akan menjadi sebuah referensi penting, dan sebuah insentif yang kuat bagi mahasiswa untu menuntut jurusan dan staff pengajar menyiapkan mereka untuk itu. Yang terbaik dari semuanya, para pendidik akan memiliki standard pasar yang sebenarnya untuk kompetensi profesional. Mereka akan memiliki insentif nyata untuk mengubah program mereka agar dapat membuat mahasiswa memenuhinya, dan agar program mereka dapat bertahan secara kompetitif. Lihatlah apa yang terjadi ketika statistik yang dipublikasikan mengidentifikasi persentase tahunan dari tiap lulusan sekolah yang memperoleh sertifikat. Dengan menerapkan sertifikasi, IDSA akan mengikuti tradisi sejarahnya dan komitmennya menjadi pemimpin nasional dari profesi desain dengan tidak hanya menyeleksi standard, tetapu dengan menjamin bahwa mereka secara nyata memenuhi standard entry level praktisi. Banyak yang akan bilang, ini sudah waktunya. Jika bukan sertifikasi, lalu apa ? JIka bukan IDSA, lalu siapa ? Jika tidak sekarang, lalu kapan ?

Shape-Shifting BMW Concept Car Is Made of CLOTH

2008-06-19T06:04:00.000-07:00

BMW has created a concept car called the GINA Light Visionary Model, which takes a seamless, plastic-coated lycra material, and stretches it over a metal frame with moving parts—allowing for the car to have shape-shifting properties. The shape of the body can be changed without tearing or loosening the fabric, and the steering wheel, gauges and headrest all move into place after you sit down in the car.

The car is based off a 4.4-liter Z8 with a six-speed automatic transmission. The body is composed of just four panels—hood, sides and rear—and the material is water resistant. As far as shape-shifting goes, the car can alter things like adding or removing a spoiler, or widening fenders. I'm not sure about you, but my mind=blown.

Very light jets (VLJs) are the newest addition to the aviation industry. With such innovative capabilities as short runway take-offs and a 370-knot cruising speed, VLJs are expected to significantly change the way people travel. At the forefront of this change is Eclipse Aviation, a US-based company, manufacturing jets that defy the old rules of hub-and-spoke air travel. To solidify its position at the forefront of lightweight aviation innovation, Eclipse approached IDEO to design a cockpit and cabin for the Eclipse 500 jet.

Challenged by such constraints as the small size of the jet's pressurized cabin, IDEO's team of human factors specialists, industrial designers, and mechanical engineers began looking at ways to maximize the space and provide intuitive interactions for pilots and passengers. IDEO worked with pilots, aircraft owners, and potential Eclipse 500 buyers to understand that while functions and requirements differ between cockpit and cabin, both zones can embrace a common design theme. The resulting solution minimizes visual clutter and superfluous details, creating an interior that is both user-friendly and elegant.

The Eclipse 500's cockpit features a harmonized instrument panel to reduce complexity, with controls grouped and labeled according to flow, reach and handedness considerations. The result is an overall look of simplicity and purpose. A military-style sidestick control offers the pilot a more natural feel and easier operation. LED lighting illuminates the cockpit with a serene, glare-free glow.

Using full-scale prototypes and real flight times, IDEO utilized a number of methods to design the configuration of the cabin. Designers leveraged the interior geometry, a variety of materials, and clever lighting to create a feel bigger than the actual size. Amenities such as a custom-designed in-flight entertainment system featuring MP3 and XM Satellite Radio, refreshment center, and roll away lavatory all enhance the jet's commuter-friendly visage.

Eclipse Aviation has sold more than 2,500 jets, worth a record-breaking $3.8 billion. The Eclipse 500 won the 2005 Robert J. Collier Trophy for "leadership, innovation and the advancement of general aviation."

Desain Produk Berkarya 2

2008-05-30T10:35:00.000-07:00

"INI apa sih?" ucap seorang kawan Kampus bertanya pada teman di sebelahnya seraya menunjuk benda mini berbentuk kapal. Tak mau berlama-lama kebingungan, ia pun memerhatikan keterangan singkat yang tertempel di sebelahnya. Kening yang tadinya berkerut, lalu berganti anggukan kekaguman. Ternyata, benda itu adalah prototipe kapal penangkap ikan yang dirancang untuk menghemat bahan bakar fosil dengan menggunakan biodiesel. Itu salah satu pemandangan yang terlihat dalam "Desain Produk Berkarya 2", Pameran Karya Akademik Mahasiswa Desain Produk ITB Semester 2 tahun 2006/2007, 26-28 November 2007 di Campus Center ITB.

Nuansa, keunikan, bahkan kebaruan, muncul dalam pameran yang menampilkan karya dari 57 orang mahasiswa Desain Produk (DP) FSRD ITB itu. Berasal dari tugas, pameran ini sekaligus juga uji kemampuan mahasiswa DP dalam tingkatannya masing-masing. Karya-karya itu berasal dari mata kuliah DP I, II, III, IV, V, dan tugas akhir, yang biasa dikenal dengan istilah "studio". "Semuanya melewati proses seleksi oleh dosen masing-masing," kata Agus, ketua panitia, pada Kampus. Mau tahu seperti apa karya mereka?

Ruangan pameran di-set sesuai dengan tingkatan studio. Di tengah ruangan ada belasan kertas kardus berwana cokelat alias corrugated paper, dengan rupa-rupa bentuk. Ternyata, itu karya dari kawan-kawan DP I, yang ditugaskan untuk membuat kursi dari kardus. Beban SKS dalam DP I memang berkutat soal eksplorasi material dan bentuk dasar. Hasilnya, tercipta aneka desain kursi, dari mulai pola sederhana sampai yang rumit dan berlapis.

Bergeser ke sebelahnya, ada karya berupa autodesk hingga gunting semiotomatis. Ya, ini adalah karya mahasiswa DP 2 yang banyak mengupas soal mekanisme gerak. Gegi Primanata, misalnya, membuat robot mini yang bisa membawa minuman ringan, berdesain atraktif berwarna kuning-hitam. "Ingin buat robot yang fungsional," kata Gegi, yang merancang robot itu untuk membantu para pramusaji (waitress).

Beberapa karya lainnya malah punya fungsi signifikan dalam menjawab masalah kesehatan dan lingkungan, seperti karya-karya dari DP 5, berupa mobil tempat klinik kesehatan gigi dan mulut, ranjang lipat multifungsi, sampai alat penghalau burung kowak yang memanfaatkan gelombang ultrasonik. Karya-karya dengan fungsi pendidikan pun bertebaran dari mahasiswa DP 4, yang memang difokuskan pada elaborasi desain berbasis riset sosial budaya. Misalnya, alat bermain untuk anak yang menderita attention deficit disorder (ADD) alias sulit berkonsentrasi atau sendal berbentuk puzzle yang bermuatan edukasi.

Masih ada karya lainnya yang memiliki fungsi primer dan sekunder dengan model yang unik, misalnya, lampu dari kulit melon, kursi dari ban bekas, gitar, sepeda jungkat-jungkit, dan sebagainya. Kebanyakan barang-barang itu memang belum dibuat dalam jumlah yang siap dipasarkan. Namun demikian, bukannya tidak layak untuk dilirik dan diproduksi massal.

Menurut Harry Nugraha, ketua INDDES (komunitas mahasiswa DP ITB), tiap semester ada 150 karya dari berbagai studio dan sayang sekali kalau itu tidak diketahui banyak orang. Oleh karena itu, kini INDDES ingin semakin menggiatkan pameran, khususnya pameran akademis. Sebelumnya, INDDES juga pernah menggelar pameran besar dengan partisipan dari berbagai kampus tahun 2005 lalu di Sabuga. "Pameran juga bisa memotivasi kita supaya bikin tugas sebaik-baiknya," kata Ikra, dari DP 1.

Dituturkan Harry, pameran diadakan agar orang bisa semakin mengenal DP yang pamornya belum menonjol. Pameran juga diharapkan bisa menjadi pintu mendatangkan pelaku-pelaku industri ke kampus. Menurut dia, pemerintah masih belum menggarap DP secara serius. Padahal, DP itu penting, apalagi dikaitkan dengan gaung industri kreatif sekarang ini. DP berperan dalam memberi nilai tambah bagi pembuatan produk dengan pertimbangan aspek estetis sekaligus fungsional. "Pekerjaan rumah sekarang ini adalah menyambungkan DP dengan industri kecil menengah (IM) lokal kita yang potensial," katanya. ***

Roadmap untuk meningkatkan daya saing produk Indonesia 2006 - 2010

2008-05-30T10:32:00.000-07:00

Departemen Perdagangan bekerjasama dengan Departemen Perindustrian dan Kementerian Koperasi dan Usaha Kecil Menengah (UKM) membuat Roadmap untuk meningkatkan daya saing produk Indonesia 2006 - 2010 yang bertujuan untuk menempatkan produk Indonesia menjadi produk berstandar internasioanl yang diterima di pasar dunia.

“Diperlukan suatu roadmap lintas departemen dan lembaga terkait untuk ditempuh dengan ‘kendaraan’ berupa kebijakan yang kondusif, kelembagaan berdaya guna serta pendanaan agar dapat mencapai tujuan, “ kata Menteri Perdagangan Mari Elka Pangestu dalam paparannya pada Semiloka Indonesia Design Power 2006 di Jakarta, Kamis (13/7).

Adapun tahapan yang akan dilakukan dalam Roadmap tersebut yakni, pada 2007 membuat desain inovatif (Inovatif Design); 2008 membuat identitas produk ekspor Indonesia (Indonesia Export Identity); 2009 membuat Good Design Products berstandar SNI dan 2010 membuat Good Design Products Made in Indonesia.

Mari menegaskan, target dari program ini harus menghasilkan 200 Good Design Products Made in Indonesia.

Menurut Mari, ada tiga kekuatan untuk mencapai Good Design Products Made in Indonesia untuk produk-produk yang berbasis intellectual property (IP) yaitu branding, packaging dan product design.

Dengan kekuatan desain, kemasan dan dukungan aktivitas branding, kata Mari,. suatu hari merek Indonesia akan berkibar di dunia perdagangan internasional. “Inilah tantangan bagi para desainer Indonesia yang berkolaborasi dengan UKM untuk mewujudkan Good Design Made in Indonesia, “ ujarnya.

Ada empat tahapan menuju Good Design Products Made in Indonesia. Pertama, discover importance of design to business. Kedua, explore Analysis on SMEs and Corporations. Ketiga, create selection and engagement of design consultants dan keempat, make actual design development.

“Lingkup industri kreatif itu meliputi dari hal kecil seperti perhiasan, ke produk kerajinan, elektronik hingga desain dalam skala luas, seperti bangunan arsitektur dan perencanaan kota, “ katanya.

Selain itu, lanjutnya, desain produk yang baik dapat meningkatkan neraca perdagangan, memberikan kontribusi atas pendapatan nasional (GNP) masyarakat serta memperluas lapangan kerja.

Sementara itu, mengenai pemahaman hak atas kekayaan intelektual (HaKI) di Indonesia, Mari mengatakan, spirit untuk mengangkat masalah HaKI ini patut diapresiasi, namun diakuinya pemahaman mengenai esensi implementasi UU HaKI yang berlaku di Indonesia masih kurang.
