E-Learning: Design Opportunities at Home Part 2

Ideas

1. extension plug
2. stick
3. pendulum
4. wireless controlled switch
5.sound sensor
6. tap switch
7.robot
8.fork
9.chopsticks
10.programmed switch

I chose to work on the wireless controlled switch
The Inital design 

-The plug as a sensor that can sense the controller 
-The controller is like a shape of a television controller and there is buttons for the switch






The refinements.

-The controller is too big.
need to make it smaller.









-If the switch is on you would not know
lights added to controller.









 -may lost easily
put a key-chain chain onto something











Final Product.

-the controller is smaller
-there is light that notify if you on the switch
-there is a keychain added

Sketch of your final product design

this is the final design

-the controller is smaller
-there is light that notify if you on the switch
-there is a keychain added

Sketches of refinement to your initial idea

-The controller is too big.
need to make it smaller.









-If the switch is on you would not know

E-Learning: Design Opportunities at Home Part 1



This is the mind mapping.
In the end, I chose the living room









This is the storyboard for the design problem and what is the problem.


Solution:If i can i would buy a extension plug and plugged into the inner plug, as it can extend, it will be easier to hit the buttons!

Ideation

Shape borrowing:
Shape borrowing can create new idea as you are borrowing other idea and combine with your idea to create new ideas.Shape borrowing is good for beginners when they are learning how to draw creative design.Example, you can borrowing the shape of a fork to create a multi-task USB plug for computer.You can use shape borrowing to improve on your original product therefore creating a new product but more creatively.

SCAMPER:
SCAMPER help to refine functions by guiding the drawer in upgrading his design to a much more effective design and resistive design.SCAMPER is like a guide book to help drawers to improve on their design.SCAMPER changes the shape to a much more better and nicer design.SCAMPER can be use in factories to improve and the products they produce.SCAMPER basically means using our brain to think of another way the make the design better and you combine all your thoughts
and put together to make the design a better one
