Smartphone Cases Made with Natural Nacre

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry[INQ. NO. 1708E18] Artimo introduces a smartphone case made with natural nacre at KITAS 2017, which will be held from August 10 to 12 at COEX. Nacre is made from thinly carved inner pieces of shells of abalone or clam. Nacre is characterized by reflecting light differently depending on angles of view. In other words, nacre is so attractive with light that it is even considered as artwork.
The nacre case is characterized by its outstanding patterns when colored with nacre plate that has been glued together, piece by piece, or diffusing indescribable effects that combine light that penetrates through ink on the surface of nacre with printed colors and drawings.
Many people ask whether a nacre case is too fragile, but the company’s nacre case has been manufactured by putting thin nacre pieces together, up to 0.2 to 0.3mm in thickness, and printing with urethane special coating, so it will not break even if it is dropped.
Designs also vary to satisfy the diverse tastes of consumers. There is a modern pattern series, which allows the original colors and patterns of nacres to shine, a traditional portrait series, which combines Korean traditional portraits with modern tastes, an Oriental painting series, which reproduce artworks of old masters in traditional style, and a lovely modern series, full of love and sensitivity. Also, it is possible to customize the designs as nacre cases can be printed in small quantities. They can be produced even in hundreds, not necessarily in thousands.
In the beginning, several companies introduced nacre cases, but currently, Artimo can be considered as the only surviving company with capabilities of manufacturing the nacre cases, starting from design to nacre processing with technical skills, as other companies have lost their competitiveness due to high unit costs caused by additional development and outsourcing.


This has been possible because Yoon Jae-sam, CEO of Artimo, has considerable expertise, such as product planning and manufacturing skills from his previous experience in the manufacturing industry, not to mention his university major in design.
Artimo launched its business in 2012 by releasing test products after having grafted nacre processing skills into manufacturing smartphone cases, and the market responded very positively, domestically as well as overseas.
In response to this hot reaction, Artimo entered the Gyeonggi-do Souvenir Contest in 2012 and won a gold prize. In the same year, Artimo was awarded in the Korea Souvenir Contest hosted by the Korea Tourism Organization. Artimo continues to develop new products every year and strives to win more awards in related contests.

TouchBeat Drum Game Kit Makes Learning to Play the Drums Accessible to Everyone

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry[INQ. NO. 1708E14] Wifo Corporation, a music technology startup, has developed a way for anyone to learn how to play the drums — even those who don’t own a drum set. Learning to play the drums usually requires a full-size set of the equipment in order to learn the basics, but Wifo’s recent development aims to change this.
The TouchBeat Drum Game Kit turns any smart device like an iPad or iPhone into a virtual drum set. When paired with their specially developed kick pedal and realistic drumsticks, you’ll get a responsive, real-time drum kit experience, without the need to haul a full-size setup
It can be used on a table or even strapped to your leg in order to make it possible to practice and play just about anywhere you might find yourself.
The specially designed drumsticks are constructed with anodized aluminum and a soft conductive tip which allows players to use actual drumsticks instead of their fingers without damaging the screen. As an added bonus, they can attach the remote touch simulator to the bass drum and use it as a kick pedal just like a real drum set.
Wifo Corporation developed a unique app that makes learning to play fun and easy. The app, which was developed in collaboration with an award-winning drummer and professor of music, teaches basic drumming techniques and offers rhythm training with games. The drum set can also be used to play other drum and rhythm games like GarageBand, for example. Players can select songs from their device and play along with the music, as well.

 


“We’re passionate about music, especially drumming, and wanted to find a way to pass this passion on by making learning to play, easy, fun, and affordable for everyone. That was the inspiration for the TouchBeat Drum Game Kit. There’s no need for expensive courses and it isn’t even necessary to invest in and find a place to store a drum set. Anyone with a smart device can learn with system. It’s also convenient for those who already play — they can practice anytime, anywhere,” said Casey Kyung, CEO and co-founder of Wifo Corporation.
Wifo Corporation is a hardware startup specialized in mobile accessories for music creation and play. “Our mission is to make your musical life easy and enjoyable by bringing cutting-edge technology to our innovative products,” he added.

Water-resistance Bluetooth Keyboard

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry[INQ. NO. 1708E11] Woorin is a corporate established with a goal to realize new technology integrating high-tech nano materials and semiconductors and come up with creative and innovative products.
Since 2013, it has possessed elastic wearable PCB, as well as interface matching architecture recognizing changes in the body in preparation for FSR (force sensing register) film and the era of wearable devices, for which it has been depending on foreign technology. The company strived to pursue innovative HID (Human Interactive Device) based on this.
While engaged in semiconductor sales for 12 years, the company found that tables were very useful innovative products, but typing keys was inconvenient. The company thus started the keyboard business while thinking about why there is no keyboard that is easy to carry. Looking at the market trend where portability is emphasized more and more, keyboards were not innovative. This was because it was not easy for other countries to develop and massmanufacture since it was advantageous to China where labor costs are cheap due to the mechanical characteristics of keyboards requiring a lot of manual labor.
The company sets the initial developmental goal very inordinately. The company sets the goal of making portable keyboards lighter and thinner than any other keyboards in the world. After much trial and error, the company finally succeeded in developing a keyboard with pressure recognition type based on nano materials. At present, the company is exporting its products. The company’s CEO said, “It might be considered boring to say it is the world’s best or world’s No. 1, but the fact that we made it really thin and light with domestic technology is meaningful in terms of the product trend toward focusing on portability.”
“We cannot advertise widely as a venture entrepreneur right now. However, orders from the USA, Japan and Korea are rapidly increasing by word of mouth and through acquaintances. Demand for our products is expected to increase with the launch of phablets, an intermediate form of smartphones and tablets (a portmanteau of the words “phone” and “tablet,” Galaxy Note 8, Iphone 8, etc.) in the future,” headded.
At present, Japan has the largest market-share comprising 80% of the major export markets. However, the company regards East Asia and Russia, where IT levels are rapidly rising, as promising markets.
