| OLPC on Steroids by Yves Bèhar |
| The One Laptop Per Child (also called the $100 laptop) represents a new type of socially responsible design. This revolutionary child-size laptop, brings learning, information and communication to children where they need it the most: in developing countries. |
| |
| The OLPC is designed as a compact, durable, and yet expressive product. When closed, the entire unit is sealed, protecting it from dust and dirt, and when it is opened, it has a whimsical and tactile richness, with the Wi-Fi antenna’s (also called Rabbit Ears) giving the OLPC a character like personality. |
| |
| OLPC on Steroids is an artistic piece based on the Playsam Streamliner toy car. The simple, wooden iconic shape has been transformed by Yves Bèhar. Original parts from models created during the OLPC design process revamp the toy. Black “legs” fixed into the rear wheel base project the body up and out with a sense of kinetic urgency. The OLPC Rabbit Ears occupy the front wheel base on an axis, allowing for movement similar to it’s usage in the $100 laptop. Though affixed to a base, OLPC on Steroids looks as if it ready to pounce, the subtle details animating the car, prepared to take flight. |
