Research Topic 038 / 200

Transparent components expose internal disorder.

Transparency enhances visibility but also exposes unrelated structures and wiring.

Research Focus: Materials, Color and FinishProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Distinguish areas for display, concealment, and observation.
  2. Explore combinations of transparency, masking, and internal organization.
  3. Test visibility and visual expression with a prototype using real components.

Key Deliverables

  • Visibility Map
  • Masking Options
  • Internal Layout Prototype

Verification Approach

Assess whether essential information remains visible without distracting visual clutter.
