Radio Controlled Lifesavers

Adding a dash of technology to the traditional lifesaver ring is this intelligent concept called RC – Controlled Life Buoy. As the name suggests, it is a saving ring that can be controlled by the lifeguard using radio controllers. The idea is to help make the rescue operation swifter and lessen the stress of the person in the water.

RC – Controlled Life Buoy is a 2011 Liteon Award entry.

Designers: Peng Shanzhong, Li Weilin & Ju Xinxin
