The axis of a staple limits the reachable area to its body length, and it is impossible for existing staples to go further into the papers, even the saddle stapled style is impossible for them. uStapler moves the axis to the side, so it can slide on the paper edge to reach wherever you want to have a staple on. uStapler makes the working area of a staple form limited to infinite; hence the users can have unlimited creation with a uStapler in hand.

Horizon, the junction where heaven and earth meet, is the farthest place we can see with our eyes; being the boundary line between people, it is the nearest distance within our touch. Zhuangzi said: "nature lives with me in symbiosis, and everything is with me as a whole"; only by understanding the limits of heaven and earth can one coexist with nature in harmony. Only by understanding the boundary within the heart can designers cross over the boundary to broaden their horizon. Porcelain is more than Porcelain. Franz Award will march toward the world stage formally from 2011, and participants from various countries are expected to design porcelain products that fit the lifestyles of modern people with "horizon" as the theme to create a new vision for porcelain.

concept
Communication should be unlimited! When the languages are different, could we communicate with each other? Deaf people use different language from us, so it’s difficult to communicate with them. Although gesticulation is a way to communicate, the development of sign language has been changed a lot that makes us become dif ficult to communicate with deaf people. Communication between normal peop le and deaf people is not as easy as we think anymore. They may try to express themselves in hand- written way , but we might lose their facial expression that makes our interaction eclipse.Nowadays, with our well-developed technology, the communication fence between different languages should be broken to make Deaf people easily communicate with people face to face, achieving different languages, same communication.
problem & solution
Have you ever saw deaf people communication with each other? I have seen their communication full of different expressions on their face. If normal people want to talk with them, they only can use writing words as a communicative media. But, they may lose other expressions and their body language. In this case, I want to make a product, which can connect deaf people to the whole world.

features
Using gesture identification system, we can realize their language. According to this system, it can transform gestures into words and voice. Normal people can understand what they talk about. On the other hand, it also can translate voice into words that shows on the screen.

communication flow
The communication between deaf and normal people present as above picture. Trans translate sign language into words and voices, and transform voice into words. Trans connects deaf and normal people.
The Kinect sensor is a horizontal bar connected to a small base with a motorized pivot and is designed to be positioned lengthwise above or below the video display. The device features an "RGB camera, depth sensor and multi-array microphone running proprietary software", which provide full-body 3D motion capture, facial recognition and voice recognition capabilities.
Using Kinect to recognize American Sign Language. Pairing Microsoft's oft-hacked motion sensing camera with custom software that previously required colored gloves kitted with wrist-mounted, 3-axis accelerometers.

concept
Compassler is a new stationary combined of ruler and compasses. Graduations on the ruler are also radius scales on the compasses so that user wouldn't have to worry about finding compasses.
Compassler transforms the normal ruler by designing a hollow rail track. The hollow section is easy for user to see the content of the underneath paper. And the slide on the rail track with two holes is for different kind of pens to put in. Between the two holes is lock. User can fasten the lock and press the center button to draw a circle. The multi-functions of Compassler not only enhance the efficiency of learning but also create new usability for user.

problem & Solution
While we want to draw a circle, we need not only a compass (divider) but also a
ruler. It really occupies the space for bringing both compass (divider) and ruler.
If we forget bring a ruler, we even can’t draw an accurate circle. Therefore, I
combined them into a product, Compasler that can use as a ruler but also can
draw an accurate circle.
