Breakthrough in Science – Altitude creates the perfect industrial designer cyborg siamese twin

Altitude is committed to the future and the future will be shaped by our children. Altitude supports an organization called Sweat Equity Enterprises. They design groundbreaking collaborations between youth and industry – an innovation lab for companies, and an unbelievable learning opportunity for teenagers. Youth analyze and demystify the products and media that most captivate them, then develop their own original professional-quality designs for corporate partners (proceeds and contributions go towards students college scholarships and program support). This learning method is proven to increase their personal, academic and professional skills. At the same time, companies gain fresh creative ideas and market research, enhance their brand through sustainability, and cultivate a talented and diverse workforce of the future. Altitude is actively fundraising for SEE by donating 100% of the proceeds generated by the sale of unique products designed by Altitude staff members. Items include hats, t-shirts, coffee mugs, and bags. Click this link to browse the offerings (and spread the word!): http://www.altitudeinc.com/philanthropy.php?p=fundraising&c=fundraising

Hey Gang
There is a fun event coming to town this Saturday.
The event last year was awesome (do not know if you had a chance to go there) so this year they added Motion and 3D design. We are getting closer to the event. I am sure you guys have followed the other events in LA and Las Vegas and San Francisco (my favorite for 3D). All the blogs are full with coverage, you can watch videos online too.

Eleven Boston Public Middle School students recently won the “Innovation” award for their redesign of their middle school classroom. Through Citizen Schools, an non-profit organization that creates after-school programs to help enhance the education of young adults by engaging them in hands-on learning projects, volunteers Evan Gant, Industrial Designer, and Alex Tee, Mechanical Engineer of Altitude, Inc., introduced the students to the design process and tasked them with redesigning their own classroom.

Light Lane – Concept from Altitude’s Alex Tee and Evan Gant
Published January 9, 2009 Altitude , Design Concepts 264 CommentsA close brush with a distracted driver is enough to intimidate the most avid bikers from riding at night. The problem isn’t just about visibility, as safety lights are effective at capturing the attention of a driver. However, these lights are typically constrained to the bike frame, which highlights only a fraction of the bike’s envelope. Bike lanes have proven to be an effective method of protecting cyclists on congested roads. One key is that the lane establishes a well defined boundary beyond the envelope of the bicycle, providing a greater margin of safety between the car and the cyclist. Yet, only a small fraction of streets have dedicated bike lanes, and with an installation cost of $5,000 to $50,000 per mile, we shouldn’t expect to find them everywhere anytime soon. Instead of adapting cycling to established bike lanes, the bike lane should adapt to the cyclists. This is the idea behind the LightLane. Our system projects a crisply defined virtual bike lane onto pavement, using a laser, providing the driver with a familiar boundary to avoid. With a wider margin of safety, bikers will regain their confidence to ride at night, making the bike a more viable commuting alternative.
