Having gone away to think about the the place, it's atmosphere and how can we satisfy the brief that we've been given; we gathered back at the pub to share our ideas and see if they fit the context we wanted to work from.
My ideas where based mostly on the visual sense where the user would be able to see better the surroundings they were to go into. As Fig 1. shows, the user would wear the product as a form of a haver sack to illuminate the space they would head in to. The small battery pack on the back would also be where the light stand would collapse into when the product is not in use.
Following on with the idea of illumination but the light source coming from a different angle. Fig 2. shows another concept where the product would be placed on the users arm and would flip up when needed. Furthermore the user would use their arm to point in the direction of place they want to illuminate thus allowing them to manipulate the lighting as much as possible. The product would come in a variety of sizes varying from a watch to the size of the lower arm.
One of the team mates, Jagoda, was basing her idea on the sense of touch. She came up with the idea of prosthetic arm component that would fit on the users arm shown in Fig 3. . With the aid of the prosthesis the user would be able to detect the different temperatures and materials of the room they would be in. With such an ability the person would be able to tell where the cold and hot spots of the building and why this happened with they type of material it is.
Another team mate, Ricky, was basing his idea on the sense of smell using the olfactory. His concept was based on the idea of smelling smells from a distance, such as at an arms length, instead of having to go up close to the object. This later evolved to the concept of having smelling tubes linked to the users nose in order to smell at a distance. With the idea in mind it transformed into having a gas mask type device where the tubes would be connected to and so the user could breath with ease. The idea is shown in Fig 4. . This quickly expanded to having more than just tubes attached to the users hands but to also have components that join on to the end of the tubes and having different smelling sensations and experience. An example of this can be seen in Fig 5. .
Looking at all the ideas we all collectively thought of, we questioned each other on how the ideas satisfy the brief given. Although all the ideas were good and did satisfy the brief given we decided to go with our team mate Ricky's idea. Doing so we picked the choice of sense we would carry out the work in which is Smell. In addition we picked the idea we all thought had the most potential to evolve as a potential idea and satisfy the brief as much as possible.
