Cybernetics Submission Requirements
When submitting to the Cybernetics Design Competition keep in mind that your submission will be evaluated on multiple dimensions, your cybernetics design is judged together with its practicality, efficiency, technical complexity, user experience and presentation. Applicants should send high-resolution images of their cybernetics, showing the product from different angles together with a textual presentation of their work. Main image is especially important and should either be an isolated image on white background or a highly professional photograph. In addition to images, relevant user manuals, installation instructions and maintenance guides could further be uploaded as support documents. Videos or links are welcome but not obligatory.
Item | Dimensions | Format | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Main Image Required |
JPEG | The Key Visual must encapsulate the essence of your cybernetic design, offering a high-resolution, clear representation that immediately conveys the project's innovative nature. A white or neutral background is preferable to ensure the focus remains on the complexity and sophistication of the design. If the cybernetic device interacts with its environment or users, a contextual background that illustrates this relationship effectively may be more suitable. | |
Optional Image 1 Required |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 1 shall present the cybernetic design in various operational states or demonstrate its modularity. If the design includes interchangeable parts or adapts to different functions, this image should display these features, providing a comprehensive view of the design's versatility and adaptability in practical scenarios. |
Optional Image 2 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 2 should offer a detailed view of the cybernetic design, focusing on the intricacies that distinguish it. A close-up of the mechanisms, sensors, or any technological innovations is ideal, inviting viewers to appreciate the precision engineering and thoughtful integration of components that enable its functionality. |
Optional Image 3 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 3 needs to depict the cybernetic design within its intended application, showing the device in a real-world environment or interacting with its user. This image should highlight how the design integrates into its ecosystem, demonstrating its utility and enhancing the viewer's understanding of its real-life impact. |
Optional Image 4 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 4 must capture the cybernetic design in action, emphasizing user interaction and the device's ergonomic features. An image that shows how the design responds to user input or adapts to different conditions can effectively convey its responsiveness and user-centered design philosophy. |
Documentation PDF Document Highly Optional |
A4 Page Size |
Documentation shall include comprehensive information about the cybernetic design, detailing its technical specifications, system architecture, and any programming aspects. Diagrams, flowcharts, and schematics are encouraged to provide clarity on the design's functionality and operational logic, offering insight into its innovative features. | |
Video Video / Audio File Highly Optional |
AVI | The video should be a visual narrative that illustrates the cybernetic design's features, its development process, and its benefits in a dynamic format. It could include animations that demonstrate the system's functionality, user testimonials, or a walkthrough of its technical capabilities, providing an immersive overview of the design's practical applications and technological advancements. |
