HUBE- MEN HYGIENE URINAL

(Projektzeitraum: 3 Wochen) Why is it so attractive for men to pee standing up? Because nature is trimmed on efficiency. In the special case of men visiting the toilette to do their small business, it is standing while peeing, if possible. HUBE is a new form of men hygiene. It showers and drys the male genital directly after the little business is done. Gently, ecologically and hygienic.

CONCEPT

PROCESS

URINATE SHOWER DRY GO The process takes place automatically and step by step. Once the user steps up to HUBE, the approximation is registered by a sensor. During urination HUBE remains passive. Another sensor registers the end of the „urination“ and starts the gentle water-fan. It is enriched with a skin-care product. Self-directed forward and backward motions through this cleansing plane improve the result. Upon removal of the penis from this area, the Aircircle enables. Excess liquid remains at this plane, so that the penis can be packed into the pants dry and clean.

COMPONENTS

TECHNICAL CLARITY The body is based on the simplest of geometric forms, the circle. It symbolizes simplicity and sensitivity. Structurally, it allows a very stable and fast assembly. The circular shape can also be found in the most important elements of the system.

G U I

USER INTERFACE Once the user moves nearer to HUBE, each activity inside the tube is made visible through the interface. Washing and drying are chronologically visible. The two modes „cleaning / use me“ can be experienced by the reduced interface on the top of the user-facing side. Intuitive colored animations show the readiness for usage or the actual status of cleaning . During use you can watch the processes inside the HUBE, similarly you can feel it. Graphical representation and emotional experience merge into a new quality.
