James Dyson Award design comp contenders: A gym for all comers
By Rain Noe - July 9, 2009
The James Dyson Award design competition has a simple, broad mandate: "Design something that solves a problem." Shown here is one of the entries, The Access, a handicap-friendly fitness center designed to be used by the wheelchair-bound and able-bodied alike.
You can check out the rest of the entries (and vote on them, with free registration) at this link. The list is fun to go through--the competition's broad mandate means you'll see everything from surfing gear and automobile safety devices to "bionic cockpits" and wristwatches that display your current biological rhythms.
