A standard catalogue model: the dimensions, control package and finish are fixed, which is what keeps the price and the lead time predictable. Size, colour and interface language can be adapted without a new design cycle.

01 / Overview

The human vascular system, known as the "river of life," is a closed circulatory network composed of arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries transport oxygen rich and nutrient rich blood from the heart, while veins collect tissue exchanged blood from the heart. Capillaries are important sites for material exchange between blood and cells.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

There is a "network" composed of intersecting blood vessels in the human body, which can be called the "river of life". Blood vessels are the channels of life, and the human vascular system is a closed circulatory system composed of arteries and veins. The total length of a single blood vessel in the whole body is about 100000 kilometers, and it can circle the equator 4 times. The total circulation distance of the whole body's blood in 24 hours is about 264000 kilometers, which is more than 20 times the sum of the lengths of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. Blood vessels are the channels that guide blood flow to various parts of the body. Except for hair, nails, and the epidermis, there are many large and small blood vessels distributed in other parts of the body, which can be divided into three categories: arteries, veins, and capillaries.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
