Consumer electronics enhance people’s lives through technology
Electronics have become a new extension of ourselves. We use domotics to turn on lights at home or activate our central heating. More and more every day, consumer electronics is becoming an ally that makes processes easier for us, while reading our consumption patterns to avoid waste and improve the efficiency of our day-to-day lives.
But none of this would be possible without design applied to consumer electronics’ products and services. It allows engineering to make its way into our lives and helps us understand complicated products in a simple, quick, almost intuitive way. At Alegre Design we have worked for 20 years on projects in which design has acted as a bridge between innovation, engineering and technology.
Design applies both to the physical product -which combines product design and user experience to generate the value of the physical object-, but also to the use of the interface itself -the point of contact with the user- which provides the extended use and value of the service. Our projects are focused on improving ergonomics and people’s health with products that range from small household appliances to light electric mobility and climate-tech solutions.
Our consumer electronics projects include:
Ki
Consumer electronics improves people’s lives through technology, as evidenced by Kai, one of our latest designs. Ki is a smart ring that controls the home’s environmental conditions and energy consumption. The device projects light signals on the wall that indicate, through colors, if there is any imbalance in the home’s air quality, temperature, water or electricity consumption.
WeOn
Their optical lenses incorporate an electronic device on their frame that interacts with smartphones, tablets and personal computers.
Eyesynth
Thanks to an algorithm, they convert spatial and visual information into audio that blind people can understand.
Aura
Aura is a device that interacts with augmented reality technologies to create a visual bubble, that blurs out visual distractions.
Pbike
This connected security device sends out notifications in case of severe falls and includes a geolocation system in case the bike is stolen.
Istobal Vacuum Cleaner
It is based on an intense investigation of the user’s interaction with this type of cleaning device for vehicles. Its design provides the greatest comfort and speed in the process.
