Group work: We have elected our groups and with a team of three the tasks are split into three categories - Behaviour, Scenario, and Object. Each of these categories related to a different part of the interaction of the product we are designing. Behaviour will relate to how the users will behave and interact with the product when using it - this could be how they feel, what they do, dependent on the other two categories as well though. Scenario will deal with the context in which the product will be used and how the product will relate to that context. Finally object will relate to the more physical side of the design of the product: ie. shape, form, colour, components, manufacturing, engineering etc.
The group members are Michael Coleman, Kahlia Lickevicz and John Nissen (myself). Michael will be covering the Behaviour side of the product, Kahlia will be covering the Scenario side of the product and I will be covering of Object side of the product. My focus will be on the technology and manufacturing and how we can physically bring this product onto the market in an efficient and cost effective way. Dependent on the product chosen in the next class by the group I will be looking into materials, technology, manufacturing methods, transmission methods, and ergonomics. Another factor that will need to be considered is the safety side of the product (this is considering Michael's concept using flame). All of these aspects will be looked at and analyzed to make sure the best method for manufacture and design is chosen.
Effort will also be made that input from all group members to their other respected aspects (Behaviour, Scenario and Object) will be considered to make sure the group is happy with each members direction.
