Integrate User Feedback • How can the Finger-Sliding button function smoothly? • The button is too small to apply force comfortably? • The slit at center is okay and would not create too much water stain because the sliding of button. • Finger-sliding button for water amount control • Panels at two sides for temperature control

• Prefer to control temperature with a wheel button rather than panels at two sides.

Finalize

Features Matte nickel gives a warmer sense of touch. Slide the wheel forward for water output .

Turn the wheel for temperature control. Default temperature is warm.

Water runs out from the circular slit and flows through the surface to the basin.

Research Process

See My Problems?

Current Products Are...

Vibration and Safety Goggles

Unstable

Vibration and posture of using jackhammer cause safety goggles to slide off from face and interrupt working process.

Safety goggles sliding off can disturb working process.

Safe Work-Rest Frequency

Inconvenient

Jackhammer user needs to stop working every 5 minutes for a rest to prevent harms such as Raynaud’s Disease caused by vibration.

Loud Noises

The noise level caused by jackhammer is worse than noise from airplanes running on runway, thus a more advance protection is necessary.

Bulky ones are less convenient when one needs to frequently taking it down and wearing it back.

Insufficient

Regular ear buds only cover 31dB.
