SANO
How can fitness goals be reached? Sano is a fitness device with downloadable workouts, aimed at beginners. Personal trainers can be expensive as well as a gym membership and beginners are often found lost in the gym as they are not sure on what machines or exercises to do in order for them to reach their goals. Sano solves this problem, beginners can download workouts where Sano will show them how to do each exercise. This eliminates the expense of a personal trainer and gives the user confidence in the gym. Using pro-lab and other materials a hand manufactured appearance model was made.

How can food waste be reduced in a student home?
My Fridge by O2 is a free, student based app which aims to reduce food waste in a student home. The app does this by allowing the user to scan their receipt in after a shop, keeping a log of their food, notifying them of expiry dates and suggesting recipes found in a student database. The My Fridge app works in-conjunction with a smart fridge and smart oven creating a connected home. Shadowing and user research.
Wireframe user testing - Is the user able to navigate through the app?

‘Burger menu’ to switch to different areas in the app.
The camera is used to scan in the uers receipt
Working interactive prototype
Axure Pro was used to create a working interactive prototype of my app. Here is a link to the working prototype which can be accessed using a smartphone. http://nkng93.axshare.com/device_body.html
‘ I like the fact that I am notfied well before the expiry date it gives me time to plan my week’
‘ This menu feels a bit dated, maybe a swiping interface would be more suited’
Pop up notification to alert the user.
8 A list of the foods that are due to expire a recorded and can then be selected to find a recipe.
‘ I lke the fact I can quickly search for a recipe but if the interface is too sensitive I might deselect a food’
Once the foods have been selected the burger menu is opened to navigate to the recipe page
By clicking search, a student data base will be scanned for a recipe to use up expiring foods.
9 Screen Flows showing searching and downloading a new recipe
Scan in your receipt to log food in the My Fridge app The expired foods are then selected.
You are then notified that some of your food is expiring
Scanning in receipt
Using the ‘burger menu’ you are able to navigate to the recipe section, to download a recipes
Selecting expiring food after notification
10 Clicking on search with the foods selected, My Fridge will search a student database for recipes
You are able to view and use the recipe multiple times as well as turn on a smart oven via the app if needed
Once a recipe is found you are able to download it.

Salire
How can the life of a wheelchair user be made easier? Salire was my A2 Design and Technology project. The Brief was to design and manufacture a device that will aid wheelchair users in their daily struggle to get up a curb easily, safely and without strenuous movement. For this project I did a number of quick 2D sketches to come up with a feasible solution. Modelling was crucial as it was important to have the wheels in the correct alignment in order for the product to work correctly. Salire works by using two additional wheels. The front wheels raise the front of wheelchair helping them get up the curb. With the use of the product the life of the user will be made easier and minimising their daily struggle.

How can hot food be delivered on location? The Brief was to design a branded product that allowed hot food to be eaten on location. Our chosen brand was Nike with our activity being off piste skiing. In groups we created a Prezi logbook where we presented all out key findings, ranging from the activity, off piste skiing, to our target user, heating methods, in depth research into the brand as well as other surrounding factors. To view our Prezi in full, please click on the link: http://prezi.com/ob7-mgsqp6_s/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy&rc=ex0share This project is ongoing, the next step is to take what we have learned and design a food heating device suitable for off piste skiers.

14 A USB storage deivice was designed and created using Creo parametric 2.0. By using the surface modelling tool, a series of curves and edges that share common boundaries were created; surfaces were then added to create a complete surface model. Keyshot was then used to render the USB device.
