Just some of my creations, created using the Make version of Sketchup and rendered using Kerkythea.

And my latest creation from the UN SPACY collection: another box.
Technically, this is a ditty box - before sailors had lockers, to keep their personal items, they'd make or buy either a ditty bag or box. "Ditty" is believed to be a variation for "ditto", which means duplicate. As early voyages could and did last for years, sailors would often carry two of everything - two sewing needles, two knives, etc.
The Omni is a pocket-sized touchscreen tablet (14cm x 8cm x 1cm) with an encrypted short-range transceiver that includes built-in oxygen and atmospheric pressure sensors, built specifically for use by the UN Space Agency.
Intended for use aboard ship, it is internally ruggedized, using a synthetic diamond-chip architecture that makes the unit more resistant to radiation, heat and pressure.
The device allows crew to communicate with one another, as well as access the ship/station databases of technical manuals, training materials, and various entertainment options available through the ship's app store. To further extend the usage of the Omni, they can be connected to various sensor packs with specialized internal databases.
To prevent unauthorized access, the Omni is set up with two-factor bio-metric security. A security key must be entered into the Omni to allow it to access the ship or station network; otherwise it is just an odd-shaped paperweight.
Units under normal usage last 48 hours between charging via a charging pad or docking station.
Units are usually striped on the back to signify the branch of service.
Civilian versions are available for the commercial shipping market, utilizing civilian bands rather than the restricted UNS frequencies. However, they are still fully compatible with UNS sensor module packs; there is a fee for the sensor pack app.

The Survival Omni is a small touchscreen tablet (209.5 mm x 133.4 mm x 25.4 mm) with an encrypted short-range transceiver that includes built-in oxygen and atmospheric pressure sensors.
Intended as an emergency guide / diary, it is internally ruggedized, using a synthetic diamond-chip architecture that makes the unit more resistant to radiation, heat and pressure. It has been environmentally sealed, so can be used in almost any conditions. An impact-resistant synthetic covers the edges of the tablet to help protect it from impacts, and included attachment points for straps. The surface of both the touchscreen and rear solar panel is a sandwich consisting of polished aluminum oxynitride ceramic, glass, and polycarbonate with a nanotech coating that protects it from high power impacts, scratches, most chemicals and UV damage. It's several hundred times stronger than glass.
The tablet and its protective case is in International Orange for visibility.
The unit includes basic survival and medical manuals, as well as a video diary and camera to allow survivors to record their thoughts and observations about their environment. The unit can use its internal sensors for weather alerts and forcasting. It also contains a small radio beacon that will pulse a low-power signal as long as the unit remains charged.
Units under normal usage last 48 hours. A solar panel on the back of the unit allows it to be charged in any bright environment, or it can be placed on a charging pad.
