HarmoniCore

HarmoniCore is an embedded device designed to address future food contamination and zinc imbalance. It operates using a core control unit, nanoskin technology, and snake detectors. The nanoskin covers the abdomen, with micro-nano needles extending into the throat to absorb harmful substances. Snake detectors collect pollutants and send them to the main control unit for cleaning. The device includes a robotic arm and a staircase system, with each step symbolizing progress and the interaction between the user and the environment. HarmoniCore promotes health while offering a unique, interactive experience.

Device Rendering

The device is made up of nanoskin, a control unit, nanotubes and microneedles. It is semi-embedded, so it will affect people's lives, etc. There are three snake-shaped detectors in the center of the console. Help people detect and control zinc levels.

Site Plan

This image illustrates the location of our structure, situated in the garden adjacent to the HEIDE Museum of Modern Art. We have expanded the existing building by incorporating additional space.

Building Interior Rendering

This picture shows the situation inside the building. In this part, there is an employee who can control and help people complete the last step of the device, release and cleanup. Because there are three snake detectors inside the device. In the main control unit, after the detectors are cleaned, the waste is transferred to the garbage bin that needs to be cleaned regularly, and then it leaves through the conveyor ladder.

Building Interior Rendering

This image provides a view of the interior through the honeycomb-patterned transparent glass, highlighting how the device’s robotic arm is installed at each step of the process.
