AURA 10 Weeks Individual Project Brief: Identify an opportunity for an Internet of Things product for which the industrial design and app interface are dedicated to a clearly deďŹ ned context.
The problem
1 in 75 people suer from panic attacks
75 % of people with panic disorder avoid certain places and activities
Typical length of a panic attack is 10 minutes
30 % of people who suer from panic attacks also misuse /abuse alcohol
Design development
The next stage of manufacture was to fully shape Aura. This required both hand and machine techniques to create the desired form.
The final stage of manufacture was to ensure Aura was finished to a high quality. To do this a primer and top coat spray paint was used.
Manufacturing
Aura was manufactured from Prolab. The first stage of the manufacture was to cut the Prolab to create the rough form.

- Profile
Aura is a breathing aid for people who suffer from panic attacks. It aids the user by providing electric pulses that encourage them to breathe in for 7 seconds and out for 11 seconds. This will then bring their breathing rate down. Aura records the user’s peak flow and breathing rate. If their breathing rate is not reduced, emergency contacts are notified through the app. Users can also track their progress through the app.
Final design
SECARE 1 Week Individual Project Brief: Using a live hinge you must design a homeware product for student accommodation that must be capable of compact storage.
The problem
There are over 2 million students in the UK
The majority of students have limited space in their kitchens
Many students preprepare food and cook in bulk When students prepare their food, they use lots of bowls leading to a large amount of washing-up
Design ideation
The student can then fold away the Secare Chopping Board. The first live hinge closes the measure section.
The Secare Chopping Board is large and has areas to measure and chop food. There is also a store section to sort and store chopped food and waste, ready for cooking or disposal.
The Secare Chopping Board will then further collapse with the live hinge of the chop section folding.
The store section has pouches that can be easily taken in and out. They can be used to pour food into a pan and waste into a bin.
This means that the Secare Chopping Board can easily fit into the students cupboard as it takes up much less room.
Scenario board
Students struggle to prepare fresh food, using a small chopping board, as a larger one would not fit in a student cupboard. The Secare Chopping Board provides the solution.
Final design
The Secare Chopping Board, is a chopping board designed for students.
Measuring section used to prepare the amount of food user wants to chop.
With sections for measuring, chopping and storing, it aids the student in preparing their food as there’s plenty of space.
Chopping section used for cutting all the food that the user is preparing.
The store pouches ensure that no other dishes need to be used and washed up. The Secure Chopping Board also folds away, enabling it to be stored in a small amount of cupboard space, making it simple for students to store and access easily.
Pouches in store section are used for collecting food and waste. They can easily be taken in and out. Store section used for storing either prepared food or food waste. Store section sits below the worktop surface.
The two live hinges aid in both moving the food from the measure to the chop section, alongside allowing the chopping board to be folded away ensuring that it is space saving for the student home.

The image above shows the co-design phase of the research process. The co-design phase allowed the students at the RNIB college to view my initial concepts ideas and provide feedback on them, in order to develop my designs further.
The image above shows the ďŹ nal presentation stage. This stage involved a presentation of my ďŹ nal design and allowed the students at the RNIB college to view my game that I had designed for them.
Research methods
The image above shows the semi-structed interview conducted at the RNIB College, Loughborough. The interview provided an insight into what the students at the RNIB college desired in a game. Allowing me to have a speciďŹ cation to design my game.
Design development
Red colour polymer with laced texture wrap.
Bin depth is large enough to hold all the balls but also not too deep that it is diďŹƒcult to retrieve the balls.
Green colour polymer with woven texture wrap.
All bins and balls have a colour and a texture so detectable by both visually impaired and non visually impaired.
Purple colour polymer with spotted texture applied.
