OUGD503 - Responsive - SB01 - Large Project - Product Design


I have been thinking a lot about the design of the product, which is the object that will be used to measure peoples emotions. 

I want the product to be small enough that it is almost unnoticeable, meaning the product would not have to be taken off the body as much. This way the product has the ability too take a full 24/7 reading of the persons emotions, day and night. 

I have two separate ideas for the product. 

The first is possibly a wristband design
The features of this design would be
-
long life power (meaning no need to charge to keep the device active 24/7)
The product would be made from a metal, possibly aluminium to measure pulse and other variables.
The band would be available in the colours Black/white/gold/silver. 


The only downside to this design would be that it is not a very un noticeable design. So there maybe a chance that the user would want to take off the device during sleep or events that would require the device to be removed. which would image the 24/7 recordings of emotion.

If I were to choose this style of design I may decide to base the design of Fitbit bands. The design and purpose of fit bit bands are a very good example of what my product would look like. 



The second idea would be a much smaller and un noticeable design.

It would read the emotions the exact same way as the band design, only the design would be a lot smaller and would have less chance of being removed from the users body. 

The features of the design would be:

created to be positioned behind a persons ear (left or right)
Colours would be available in black or white

The device would be waterproof meaning swimming and showering wouldn't cause a problem.

the device would use power from a long life battery similar to that of a pacemaker. 
The device would connect to an app on a mobile phone which would transfer the data. 

-

I am not entirely sure what the device will look like as I have only made a few sketches so far. but I hope to have a final design soon.
I am also unsure about which design would be more successful in this project which is why I have thought up of two separate designs.
