RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The market of wireless charging is growing every year. According to Wireless Power Consortium, the growth of Qi technology is the same as Bluetooth. There are 1000 million expected units to be powered by Qi technology in 2020. There are a lot of wireless charger today but lacking its functionality. The main purpose of wireless charger is providing a convenient and accessible power source for mobile devices. This is what Qimini Tempo is focusing on, enabling mobile devices to be truly mobile. Meticulously choosing materials that is safe, elegant and functional is a priority in the creative process.
CHALLENGE: The challenge for creating the design is incorporating the type C USB and charging coil in a neat manner making the charger as compact as possible. We also had trouble with reducing the heat of the charger that's why we made the edges fabric to allow cooling system by a better ventilation.
