The curiosity to gain knowledge and being creative are my two strong holds. This allows me to become more innovative and deliver quality work. To me design is more than just creating a physical object. I believe in designing an experience for the user. Exploring forms is one thing that I’m passionate about. I am always open to learn more and bring lots of idea together.

Product Details

The electronic component of the product will be created utilizing the injection moulding process. To make the controls easier for the user to understand, braille was used in the design. The chosen colors were black with a glossy and matte finish, as well as a green accent TPU layer. The main body is made of ABS, which is durable and easily formed, while the top detail is made of TPU since it needs to be flexible to close and open the charging port. The materials chosen for the gloves are sports polyester and TPR for the tag, with the printed logo.

Product Validation

To ensure that the intended vibration pattern communicates to the user clearly, it must be validated. A code that translated by tracking a match was unable to be produced due to the project’s short schedule. As a result, the motors installed on both gloves were programmed to play a tennis match (“The Best Game Ever? Murray v Federer - YouTube,” n.d.) that had been manually translated. Although the test was initially a little difficult to recognize, after some familiarity using the product, it was possible to understand the game from vibrations. This was regarded as an accomplishment.

Prototype

To gain a sense of the product’s proportion, foam models were built initially after the component casing’s design had been decided upon. This provided a visual impression of the whole product. The 3D CAD model from Solidworks was used to 3D print the part for the prototype. PLA material was used for the prints. A spring mechanism detail was tried to add a button element for the 3D print prototype. The final 3D printed prototype was spray painted matte black and green. It was next attached to a pair of gloves.

Smart Home- Inclusive Design

In the course Inclusive design, the objective was to analyse an existing product of its use case scenario amongst elderly. The product chosen was Amazon Echo Show 10. To comprehend the use of smart home products among the elderly, desk research and basic primary research were undertaken. In addition, we had to design a smart home device using all of the information obtained from the research.
The final product designed is a smart home device which is paired with a smart ring that can be used to control the device using voice commands from anywhere in the house. The target users are elderly people, and the smart ring helps them to control smart devices without moving from the place or closer to the main hub.

3D Surfacing Project- Mask Design

A 3D model of the mask produced in the Industrial Design and technology skills course had to be developed as part of the Advanced CAD design course. A reference 3D scan of the head was used to accomplish this. The finished model was rendered.
