Biowear showcases a combination of parametric techniques based on Human biological surfaces, resulting in an outstanding external structural system that can adapt based on the sampled geometry. The design looks to reduce the amount of material needed to create a safe protective gear. Based on the user's anatomical geometry, structure sampling points are rearranged and the BioWear gets an integrated structure system. Biological weak points are detected, and the density parameter of the whole structure system is rearranged with the convenience of the parametric techniques. The Helmet design also aims to give the rider an effective balance between safety, comfort, and fashion whilst with its breathable and aerodynamic design.
