MIW Design Show 2026: Key Design Project
At the MIW Design Show 2026, two standout innovations remarkably redefine the boundaries of user-centric design and practical engineering are as follow:
AH-64 Apache Collective Grip & IR Tracker:
Developed by Ujjwal Sharma (B.Des Product Design) under Threye Interactive, this project features a high-fidelity, simulation-grade collective grip and tactile switch system. Paired with an intuitive, headset-powered DIY infrared head-tracker, it delivers a seamless, high-performance interface for tactical flight simulation.
Pivot: Urban Folded Bicycle
Designed by Gaurav Saxena (B.Des Transportation Design), Pivot is an affordable folding bicycle tackling last-mile mobility. Catering to commuters aged 12–70, its minimalist design offers seamless portability and adaptive utility, integrating effortlessly with public transit.
