Weekend projects:
I was recently asked to describe the film Tron Legacy in five words. What I came back with was “sci-fi in a leather jacket”. This came from its modern soundtrack by popular pioneering French group Daft Punk, a dark, constant night atmosphere, motorcycle theme, and even Joseph Kosinski sports a leather jacket himself on behind the scenes video clips.
I decided to take inspiration from the youthful, modern, exhilarating style of the film along with recent successes of Renauit in motor sport and their trophy series to sketch a sports range in between the Clio and Megane.
This is an entertainment design idea for a new breed of military aerospace technology designed for the control of unmanned aircraft. The user is placed in a wind dome where he uses a winged suit to control his movement through the air. Reflectors on his outfit relay back information to sensors on the dome walls in the form of laser beams. The angles and speed at which the laser beams return when reflected from each individually characterised plate is used as information to control the aircraft remotely. These aircraft are highly agile, as they are not constrained by human safety or interface. The technology allows the user to kill accurately in third person. This creates spectacular action and interesting moral dilemmas.
