The 4-in-1 Smart Hiking Pillar

Revolutionising the hiking experience in Hong Kong, 'TrekTrack' offers four essential functions: crowd control, navigation, real-time information and accident treatment, all while ensuring a safe and enjoyable journey.

The pandemic lockdown lead to a surge in the popularity of hiking as an alternative recreational activity, hence also leading to a rise in outdoor accidents due to a lack of proper preparation and safety measures.

To address these issues and provide hikers with a safer and enjoyable experience, this project aims to tackle the four main problems that contribute to insecurity while hiking: congestion, disorientation, poor preparation, and poor cognition. Say goodbye to the pains of hiking and hello to the ultimate hiking companion with TrekTrack.

Illusio Bibliotheca

School of Design, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

Library of Illusions Jorge Luis Borges’s “The Library of Babel” describes the deeply imaginative visions of a perfect total library with infinitely repeating spaces. The project design method is “optical illusion” and by adding Chinese and Hong Kong culture into the setting, the recomposed library is called 'Illusio Bibliotheca' with six domains: Heavens/Time/Calendrics, In Situ, Man/Society, Nature, Philosophy and Economy. Through associating symbols and allegories to specific settings, spaces are no longer only drawing on flat surfaces, but also in imaginary three-dimensional spaces, making hyperbole and paradox work into the settings.
