FRIDAY 5th OCTOBER - PRIVATE STUDY

I came into Uni Today to keep up to date with my research and workbook. I found today very productive in relation to my research and I feel that my inital idea of Design Future products had been thought of already, I have now learnt to think outside the box and further into the future where possibilites are practically endless.



My research today primarly consisted of three sections (in my brainstorm page - see workbook), these were:

1) Health Technology e.g. Lifestraw (http://www.lifestraw.com/), and the Zerofly (http://www.zerofly.com/)

2) Living / Home Technology e.g. GE Future Kitchen (Search for Kitchen of the future in Google.


3) Transport Technology e.g. Bionic Dolphin (http://www.bionicdolphin.com/), and the Wheelsurf (http://www.wheelsurf.com/)





I found these three areas very interesting, they all heavily inspired me. Whilst researching online I also came across Electronic Paper (see left). If paper can be made electronic, then who knows what other textures and materials will become electronic!? I have thought of a reasonably feasible idea for my product / presentation we need to have completed. If you look at my sketchbook you can see my idea generation.




My next step is to carry out more research on present and future possiblites in technology. Through doing so I will eventually find out the best solution to my problem!

Over the weekend I will do some more research and sketch some ideas down, keep referring to my sketchbook if you need any more information!
