STUDENT WORK
SHOW COMMITTEE
_ We are delighted to present the academic work from our 2018 graduating year in this catalogue.
PROFESSOR RICHARD BIBB
_ This work demonstrates the skills and expertise that our final year undergraduates have been building on since their arrival with us three or four years ago. Their dedication and passion is evident through their unique and innovative ideas aimed at solving the problems of 2018 and beyond. _ The work seen here and at our Degree Show showcases students’ work from our four undergraduate programmes; Industrial Design and Technology BA, Product Design and Technology BSc, Design Ergonomics BSc and Ergonomics (Human Factors Design) BSc. _ This high standard of work clearly demonstrates why we have again been ranked 1st in the UK for creating the most employable design graduates by the British Industrial Design Association. 2017 also brought us great success at New Designers with three of our undergraduate students bringing four awards back to the School. This follows on from awards in 2014, 2015 and 2016. We hope our winning streak continues and wish our 2018 New Designers students the best of luck! _ This year has also been a year of new beginnings, particularly with the start of our new User Centred Design BSc programme. This exciting and innovative course has had its first intake of students in September 2017. Its introduction is part of the evolution of our undergraduate degree provision which has also seen the discontinuation of our Ergonomics (Human Factors Design) and Design Ergonomics programmes in 2016. We are also continually developing all of our undergraduate programmes to ensure they continue to meet the future needs of the global design industry and wider society. _ Please join me in congratulating our 2018 graduating year on their achievements and wishing them well for their future endeavours.

PROFESSIONAL EXPOSURE _ Alongside the groundbreaking research undertaken within the School we pride ourselves on keeping up-todate with the latest industry advances. We know this is paramount to the success of the School and our ability to provide our students with the most professional experience and training. Below are a number of events and ways in which we do this.
Live project
New Designers
_ For a single week each January, students participate in an event called Live Project. The event enables students to engage with real work design briefs, set by a wide range of design firms and manufacturers, such as DCA, Samsung, Logitech and Seymour Powell. After an introduction to the challenge, students are able to choose from a selection of design briefs and are given an intensive week to develop an innovative solution that satisfies the constraints.
_ Each year a selection of students exhibit at the New Designers event in London. The event showcases over 3,000 of the most promising graduates from Britain’s leading art and design courses. The event attracts the industry’s leading professionals who are all excited to see what the next generation of designers are producing.
_ Live Project gives students the chance to showcase the skills learnt over the course and engage with industry. It is also an excellent opportunity for students’ work to become commercial prior to graduation. Guest Lectures _ Students with the School are fortunate to experience an exciting array of guest lecturers that visit the school across the year. These often include leading design figures such as Sebastian Conran and also include cutting edge researchers and designers from the likes of Dyson and Adidas. _ Guest lectures often combine a range of both theoretical and practical workshops for students including classroom based presentations, one to one meetings with design consultants and team based activities.
_ The New Designers event is an amazing opportunity for the selected students to network and promote their work, as well as to be inspired by others in their chosen industry. Degree Show Business Event _ Annually the School’s Degree Show plays host to a special business event. This event provides an opportunity for all of its graduating students to exhibit their final year project work and for companies and members of the public to come and view it. _ The business event is a great opportunity for companies to visit the show, speak to students and network. Often students receive great feedback and many have been able to secure interviews and employment on the back of the event.
_ Each year Loughborough Design School selects RSA Student Design Awards briefs from the Industrial Design Studies final year module as a vehicle to empower students to tackling pressing social, environmental and economic issues through design thinking. It challenges students to open up further the potential of design to benefit society, to stretch boundaries and think differently about design; finding innovative, commercially viable, practical solutions to global social problems. We have a long history of winning competition briefs through this module, including multiple RSA competition wins and special commendations.

INDUSTRY PLACEMENTS
_ Between Years 2 and 3, all design students are able to undertake either a year in industry (leading to the award of Diploma in Professional Studies) or 6 months in industry together with 6 months at an international partner university (leading to the award of Diploma in International Studies). Industry placements provide students with ‘real world’ experience. They work on live commercial projects often engaging with clients and vendors as well as colleagues in marketing or engineering functions. This is beneficial throughout the final year, and adds significantly to students’ employment prospects upon graduation. _ The importance that the School places on industrial experience is demonstrated by the support given to students when applying for placement positions. All students are supported by a dedicated member of staff who acts as a point of contact for employers looking to recruit from the school. This member of staff is also able to provide support and advice regarding, for example, CVs, interviews and negotiation of contracts. Second year Industrial Design and Product Design students undertake a compulsory module requiring the creation of a design portfolio, and throughout Semester 2 the School runs ‘portfolio surgeries’ where students receive critical feedback from staff with previous experience of hiring placement students. As a result of this support over 90% of school students are successful in securing placements.

Computer-aided (CAR) robotics in medicine has seen use primarily in intensive surgical procedures, namely laparoscopic surgery. It boasts notable improvements in ergonomics, surgical performance, and patient outcomes. If a CAR system were to be developed for Root Canal Therapy (RCT), what end-user considerations need to be taken into account when developing such a system? Between the years 2000 to 2014, over 1.75 million robotic procedures were performed in the United States across various surgical specialties. In certain surgical fields roboticassisted surgery has already overtaken traditional open surgery techniques, for example; prostatectomies in the field of Urology. Robotics in medicine had since poised itself to change the nature of surgery forever. Robotics, although a relatively young branch of medicine, has seen enormous strides in recent years – with widespread application in several medical disciplines including patient care, rehabilitation and particularly surgery. Modern technology has brought CAR in medicine out of obscurity and into reality, and is today considered a real market opportunity with immense potential across industries.
Method The end-user requirements were intended to be built on a conscious understanding of the technical and social requirements of the market – with the ‘technical’ referring to the practical expectations of the system, and the ‘social’ referring to the acceptability and reception of the system by its end-users. Data was collected from two end-user groups; ‘Dental Professionals’ and ‘Patients’ (lay-users). The data from the dental professionals consisted of both technical and social data and was collected via one-to-one interviews, whilst the patient data consisted of exclusively
social data and was collected via an online survey. In total 4 dental professionals were interviewed, and 118 patients were surveyed. Conclusion Overall, the prospect of introducing a CAR system into RCT procedures was met with positive feedback, with 72% of patient respondents giving exclusively positive comments, and 75% of dental professionals stating that such a system would be of benefit to them. Qualitative feedback, from both end-users, was translated into a set of top-level technical and social end-user requirements which later fed into the design and illustration of a proposed design solution. In future should the project continue - the next phase would involve developing and producing a tangible ‘proof-of-concept’ model that is robust enough to undergo usability trials with a larger sample of representative user groups.
1 7 9
Aim The purpose of this dissertation is to provide evidence to guide the early-stage development
of a CAR system for root canal therapy procedures in dentistry, based on end-user expectations and concerns. The data collected is intended to be translated into top-level, technical and social, end-user requirements that would directly influence the system’s design and technical capabilities in future development stages.

There is a significant lack of technology available to assist visually impaired individuals participate in sport without the need for a sighted guide. Can sound be used as an accurate and reliable method for direction finding by visually impaired runners and what effect does the speed of travel have on the ability to accurately locate sound? Aim The aim of this research project was to determine if sound can be used as an accurate and reliable method for direction finding by VI runners and what effect the speed of travel may have on accuracy. In addition, the project would determine whether sound could reliably be used as an accurate guidance tool for VI runners in an environment, such as a 400m running track, where sound is transmitted at different intervals for individuals to follow. Method The study employed 20 participants in three experimental conditions; static, walking and running. Sounds were played at various positions on a 2.5 metre, 180° arc and the blindfolded participant tasked with accurately locating the apparent source of sound. The perceived sound location was then compared with the actual sound location.
Conclusion Overall, it was concluded that sound can be used to accurately and reliably direct VI individuals. Crucially, all of the conditions experienced a central dominance, indicating that participants were more accurate in locating sound in the direction they were facing compared to the wider stimulus locations. Further exploration could be carried out in VI direction finding on a 400m track using a greyhound racing scenario, with the speaker placed where the rabbit is normally positioned, thereby ensuring that the sound does not provide a wide stimulus and therefore improving location finding accuracy.

Navigation for the visually impaired (VI) is a particularly troublesome task. Severely VI individuals rely mainly on hearing to perceive their environment and gain cues to assist with certain tasks. An everyday auditory task, such as crossing the road, requires a skilled VI pedestrian to use their hearing to detect approaching vehicles, gaps in traffic and gain a spatial impression of the highway layout. The difficulty faced by a visually impaired individual becomes much more complex when attempting to take part in physical exercise involving a fast pace over potentially unfamiliar terrain. Rather surprisingly, there has been a lack of technology successfully developed to assist visually impaired individuals participate in sport. For example, a blind runner requires a sighted guide to be physically linked to them by a non-stretchable tether using voice command assistance provided by the guide.

The study was conducted at Loughborough Design School. The purpose of the research was to compare passive hoisting devices in a series of tasks that are typically carried out by carers. The study was conducted in a lab-based setting, where data was gathered to analyse the hoist-task combination and to uncover the effect these two-variables had on each other. Introduction Patient hoisting is a fundamental aspect of moving a patient from A to B, whether it be a primary or secondary task. Hoisting occurs when a patient is lacking, or has lost the ability to support their own weight; therefore a hoist is required to support the patients when being transferred. There is no substantial research providing advice on patient handling techniques and equipment, other than expert and anecdotal evidence.
•
Research Question The aim of the study is to investigate a Mobile hoist v Ceiling track (Fixed) v Ceiling track (H-frame), to determine the most effective method of moving a patient from Bed to Chair, Chair to Wheelchair and Wheelchair to Bed.
A short interview was conducted to learn about the participant’s background in Patient Handling and to learn about the hoisting activities they have carried out. Participants completed 9 activities, three with each hoist. After completing the three tasks, a questionnaire was answered and this was repeated for each hoist. To conclude the research session, a task-based interview was carried out to review the tasks performed.
To answer the research questions, the following data was collected:
Methods 15 participants took part in the study from the following groups:
which show that the H-Frame required less preparation for hoisting, compared to the Mobile hoist or Ceiling track (Fixed). Additional steps were needed for the: 1. Mobile hoist:

Conclusion The Ceiling track (H-frame) took the least amount of time to complete the tasks. The reasons for this are identified in the HTA’s,
• Moving the bed to create space for manoeuvring the hoist. • Navigating the lack of space, due to mobile hoist floor coverage. 2. Celling track (Fixed): • Moving the patient under the area of hoist operation. • Positioning the patient in relation to the hoist. Analysis found variation within tasks. Overall the Wheelchair to Bed required more steps compared to the other task. Further research into Postural analysis of different hoisting equipment would be the ideal next step for this study as Musculoskeletal Disorders are common in patient carers.

The proportion of over 65’s which own a smartphone, compared to any mobile phone is significantly lower than younger age groups. This study aims to investigate whether older users would be interested in the features that smartphones can offer, and if they are, what is preventing them from taking advantages of these features. This study aims to establish the current user experience for a variety of mobile phone users, of various ages. This would include investigating current use, as well as asking for possible features that may benefit the user. Asking a range of ages, will help identify whether older users are being excluded from the benefits of new technology. Obtaining this information could be used to create more inclusively designed mobile phones, which will have benefits for older and disabled users.
Better integration of mobile phones with tablets, laptops and computers could create a better user experience for all. For example, having shared contacts across all devices could allow the user to use different means of communications with more fluency; the user could call on
the phone but use a computer for typing longer emails, all while having a record of the communication under the same contact. The same idea could apply to a calendar, the user can enter data on the computer, but be reminded on the phone, even when outside the home. Perhaps to target this demographic, a phone could have greater cloud computing integration, allowing for a less expensive device with lower flash storage, processing and RAM requirements, as participants of the study all seem concerned with value for money.
1 8 7
The study was conducted using a questionnaire, which while providing some direction to the participant would still allow space for the user’s own thoughts. This is essential in avoiding bias and leading questions. The questionnaire also asked a range of questions which would be relevant to a variety of levels of technology users, to ensure that the survey gave an accurate picture, of the whole market.
Data analysis of the results, showed that while many older people owned a mobile phone, their primary use of this device was only for making calls and texts, meaning that expensive smartphones with many features did not appeal to them. If an older user was to complete a task such as email, they would prefer to complete this task inside their house on a tablet or laptop, where it is much easier to type. Typing on mobile phones was viewed as one of the most difficult aspects, so there still could be improvements to the phones design, to help people send texts with greater ease, including integration of voice recognition.

Research suggests that over 90% of all crashes are caused or contributed to by human error. It is proposed that autonomous vehicles have the potential to significantly mitigate this by eliminating mistakes routinely made by human drivers. This project investigates the potential effectiveness of camera and sensor configuration in autonomous vehicles in preventing or mitigating the severity of motorcycle collisions. In the UK, on average, there are 6 deaths and 94 serious injuries every week for motorcycle riders. The development of self-driving technology is anticipated to reduce the frequency of fatal collisions by removing the human error element.
the car involved with each autonomous vehicle and following a set of key questions designed to determine whether the vehicle’s sensors and capabilities would have enabled it to mitigate or prevent the collision.
The interaction between cars and other roads users is possible due to humans’ ability to interpret scenarios and make the correct decision based on a range of cues. Additional interactions, including hand gestures, horns and sirens are all additional forms of communication that assist with safe navigation, but are inherently absent in autonomous vehicles.
The analysis focused on identifying and comparing vehicle capabilities with the crash environment, enabling conclusions to be drawn.
This project emphasised the number of unanswered questions surrounding the implementation of autonomous vehicles onto the UK’s roads.

To develop an understanding of whether visual and audio feedback contributes to driver trust in a level 4 autonomous vehicle. The mass production and delivery of personal vehicles, was a phenomenon of the 20th century. In recent times, this has evolved into the slow move from internal combustion engine vehicles in favour of hybrid and electric vehicles. This has brought advancements in driver aids with roads becoming further congested on busy cities and motorways. In response to the increased risk due to an increasing number of road users there have been a variety of driver assistance systems that have now been developed by automotive manufacturers. It is stated, that these systems are to automate mundane driving operations, reducing driver burden and ultimately reduce highway accidents.
audio, and visual. ADAS has paved the way for autonomy in vehicles.
Systems commonly featured include, adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance systems, land departure warning systems, vision enhancement, driver condition monitoring systems and safety event recorders. The aim of these systems is to reduce the likelihood of accidents.
This study looks to understand the impact of visual and audio feedback on drivers, and how this changes with increased and decreased input from both assistance systems. The ultimate question is do both pieces of information need to be linked. This feeds into how much trust a user places upon an automated system.
These advancements are a progression in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). ADAS has been developed through various physical sensors such as, LIDAR, ultrasonic, cameras, and night-vision devices. Numerous vehicle manufacturers have developed their own ADAS and warning signal systems, that employ a multitude of methods in terms of capturing the users attention. These include, haptic feedback,

Due to rapid globalisation and digitalisation, cross-cultural knowledge has become a key subject in web design. To create successful global website interfaces, it is important to be informed about cultural differences that skew user’s perception of communicated information; alternatively, they risk alienating and losing customers based on social and cultural biases. This study aims to identify whether cultural adaptation during immigration and globalisation has an effect on interface perception of Russian people moving to the United Kingdom.
03
As the basis of the study, 6-D Hofstede model and Lewis model of cultural types were used to determine cultural and personal preferences, in addition to helping to hypothesise how adaptations to new environments could adjust one’s perception of the interface and influence their satisfaction. Extensive research was performed gathering quantitative and qualitative data for three culture groups: British, Russian and Russian residents of the United Kingdom.
The results of the study not only confirmed theories that cultural adaptation does in fact influence interface perception, but also highlighted that test participants can selectively apply their cultural biases in accordance to their location and which language the interface is being presented to them.

SSC’s are an attractive to retailers due to their little cost, therefore are on the increase in shops. This has caused a shift of responsibility for scanning and processing groceries, implying that customers are increasingly required to carry out this process by themselves. These machines appear to have some benefits for the customer but at what cost to the customer? The evaluation will investigate the potential musculoskeletal issues associated with the process of scanning and bagging shopping. Solely the SSC’s designs used in Loughborough (UK) supermarkets will be assessed. The evaluation will take into consideration range of statures to ensure a breadth of human dimensions are reviewed for accommodation.
The report will compromise a detailed assessment of the potential musculoskeletal risks associated with using a selfservice checkout. The report will additionally include design recommendations and guides based on the findings of this evaluation.
The findings of this evaluation will not compromise sales or the use of the SSC. Rather they will be instructive in making SSC’s more accessible and strain free for customers, which would increase customer satisfaction and therefore benefit sales.

This project explores the issues relating to the use of snowshoes for touring snowboarders and explores users perceptions, habits, and opinions of the product to help access a more efficient, accessible snowshoe design. Touring or ‘skinning’ is a challenging sport in which you first ascend the slope on skis before descending down it. Ski lifts today are what make the mountains accessible for all snow enthusiasts, however before lifts, the only ways to get up a mountain was to climb and hike. For snowboarders, it takes a great amount of effort to step through deep snow, having to push and lift your feet up every step of the way with a snowboard strapped to your back, along with other equipment. Riders can only access wilderness landscapes in ways, such as hiking, snowshoeing, and split boarding.
Unlike ski touring, having skins strapped onto a snowboard, doesn’t translate naturally like it does on skis in the process of touring uphill. The ability to move forward with a snowboard, the way you can with skis, is near impossible. So, for snowboarders, the use snowshoes, which are considered inferior to skins, can be used.
However, there are many issues relating to the use of snowshoes for snowboarders which hinder their performance, enjoyment and efficiency of the sport.

04 01 A comprehensive journey map revealed that the under fives camera market offered very little education related to photography itself. The childrens market did not cater for over fives at all. 02 Interactions are purely analogue and use resistance to guide childrens choices. Iconography was co-designed to cater to a childs understanding of ISO, aperture and shutter speed. 03 Images are annotated with the exposure settings the child has used, in visual language consistent with the camera. Pictures must be reviewed in communal settings i.e. on a television or games console. 04 Understanding how children identified value as opposed to desirability led to a more robustly perceived form than most cameras, encouraging children to get brave and get messy with their camera.

Low levels of brightness using blue-shift wavelengths stimulate the user awake in the morning. 02 The user-experience focused design allows for easy interaction using a hexagonal clock face, a magnetic track ball and textural differences to easily determine the time with no light during the night. 0 3 Conducting user trials using eye-tracking software was crucial in ascertaining the effect of psychological blindness in websites and subsequently, how UX designers can mitigate these effects.

Psychological blindness is the effect where the human does not recognise new or unexpected features within their visual field. This phenomenon is normally due to excessive visual disruptions, non-standard designs and outside stimuli. The effect can specifically be seen across various websites with large amounts of advertising, information or with standardised features located in unexpected places. Analysis of the eye tracking data and the questionnaires gave a clear insight into the range of disruption that the change blindness effect created and provided evidence for best practice website designs. The outputs included the perceived rated interference of the change blindness phenomenons alongside best practice redesigns of the websites.
2 8 1
A methodical review was undertaken using the Internet Retailing (2017) list of the top 50 e-commerce websites for 2017 and the researcher used a set criteria to audit and identify any change blindness effects throughout the website. Good practice observed from other websites were paired with these effects. A user story was then created journeying through
the various websites and tasks, without indicating to the participants of the psychological blindness effects which may be encountered. Questionnaires were used to test memory recall of the features and to obtain opinions on the difficulty of the tasks. Eye tracking software was used to support the findings.
03
The aim of the study was to identify good and poor practice of psychological blindness in popular e-commerce and retail websites and test if the effect of change blindness was demonstrated through questioning and eye tracking. Change blindness is the ‘failure to detect a clear and obvious change that is within our field of vision’ (Davies & Beeharee, 2012). The hypothesis stipulated that the target users, of age 18-24, would experience similar levels of the change blindness effect across varying websites.

Ski mask designed for mountain extreme sports, which enables breathing when avalanche victims are buried under snow. In a normal scenario asphyxiation occurs around 10 minutes, the device solves this by extracting air from the surrounding snow and relocating exhaled carbon dioxide, giving victims time to be rescued which is usually achieved in 15 minutes.

Will text neck become a future injury epidemic that could burdon the future generations? The recent prevalence of excessive smartphone usage in today’s society is expected to create detrimental effects on a user’s posture. The postures adopted when operating a smartphone could result in dangerous long-term musculoskeletal damage. The strain implemented on a person’s body whilst using a phone generally occurs outside of the workplace. Therefore, occupational laws do not apply, and the user does not have to comply with any standard or postural guidelines to prevent injury. The ergonomic study into the effects and extent of the harm users implement on themselves, is reason enough for an extensive study. The project determined the most likely age group to be affected by musculoskeletal injury by analysing the harmful postures adopted and the duration of
smartphone use by a varying age demographic. An estimated result of how many people are likely to be affected by musculoskeletal injury from smartphone use will be produced to judge the extent of the issue. The area of study also could foresee a potential increase of the problem globally due to rising use of technology around the world. The project outcome includes postural guidelines to smartphone usage and a possible method for preventing injury occurrence to the masses of users. To conclude the study, an investigation into the future of mobile phone design and the steps the market is currently taking to resolve these issues for customers benefit was conducted. The study gives a conclusive argument for implementing procedures to improve smartphone user’s health in the long-term.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) affects 690,000 people in the UK. It is an aggressive, degenerative disease that if poorly managed can cause severe disfigurement and pain. Auto is focused around an ergonomic, reusable auto-injector, a monitoring patch and a disease tracking app. These combined elements aim to create a closed loop, patient centric care system.

04 01 To reuse the auto-injector, the device is designed to collect a syringe vial from the fridge pack with a simple downward motion. This action is ergonomically appropriate for RA sufferers. 02 Post injection, the mechanism locks to prevent needle stick injury. To complete the cycle, the auto-injector is lowered into the sharps bin until the vial is ejected and the mechanism is reset. 03 Numerous iterations of the auto-injector mechanism were designed, rapid prototyped and tested. This method highlighted issues that would be difficult to realise through CAD development alone. 04 The smart fabric liner can be removed and washed enabling a longer product life. The user interface consists of a power button, a compression control and warning LEDs for temperature and pressure.

02 Making almond milk with Omi is far more efficient than traditional methods as the almonds don’t require soaking or peeling. The omission of these steps doesn’t affect the end milk product. 03 After decanting the milk, the base of Omi is detached and placed into the oven for the ground almonds to dry. This makes the milk far more economical as two useful products are created.
