Alvix
Alvix is a multifunctional drone designed for people who practice extreme sports alone. The cylinder-shaped body is transformable and holds two axes that extend and store the propellers. The propellers are pulled out for flight and pushed in for compact carrying in a pack, while the closed body protects the machinery from impact. Alvix connects to a smartwatch and a smartphone, tracks the user automatically and accepts basic commands. A safety system makes the drone ring and shine when danger is detected, so rescue can be faster.
Alvix Multifunctional Drone by Yu-Ling Lien has been highlighted as an innovative illustration of industrial design by the A' Design Awards. Alvix Multifunctional Drone won the Bronze A' Design Award in Sporting Goods, Fitness and Recreation Equipment Design in 2020. The A' Sporting Goods, Fitness and Recreation Equipment Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design competition which honors superior design of basketballs, tennis rackets, yoga mats, running shoes, dumbbells, bicycles, boxing gloves, swim goggles and more.
