Gaming is a multi-billion dollar business that has been expanding for many years now. There is no sign of a decline in the popularity of gaming, and there are many opportunities for a lucrative career in the different facets of the gaming industry. Therefore, it is an area of interest for educating and upskilling our students here at Rugby School Thailand.
You are required to come up with a suitable theme for a game that can be programmed onto a Brainpad AR-1 (you will do the programming in computing). You should then research the theme and present a range of design ideas for a handheld console to hold the Brainpad AR-1 chip and allow users to interact (play with) the game. Once you have designed a solution you must manufacture the final product from suitable materials.Â
Your product must be handheld - no bigger than 160 mm x 100 mm from a top view.
You must design around the standard sizes of the Brainpad AR-2 features - screen and standard buttons.
Your design must consider anthropometric data and include ergonomic features.
Your final model must be manufactured using mainly 3D Printing.
Ergonomic anthropometric data consists of human body measurements, like height, weight, and limb length, collected to design products, tools, and environments that are comfortable, safe, and efficient for the majority of users. This data helps designers create products that fit the physical characteristics and needs of the user, preventing discomfort and potential injury by ensuring proper dimensions for things like chair height, door width, and tool grips.
Ergonomic features are design characteristics of tools, products, and environments that prioritize a person's comfort, safety, and efficiency. These features are based on the science of ergonomics, which aims to create a "fit" between a user and their work or equipment by considering human anatomy, behavior, and capabilities. Key aspects include adjustable elements, proper physical alignment, ease of use, and the reduction of physical strain to prevent injuries and improve performance.
You will learn more about Anthropometrics and ergonomics next lesson.
Copy the context, design brief and design restrictions onto your website. Present this information clearly.
To get the highest marks it should be written in your own words using the first person (I have... I will....) and will be presented creatively with images
