I am an industrial designer which means I always think about user and so I think to create a useful tool to the user. While searching for sensors I get inspired with ultra sonic sensor.
so I decided to make a project to help dressmaker in her taking sewing dimension mission in an advanced way. After searching I found a device called (Automatic Tape Measure) which I can start from it to develop it and reach my idea.
For shape inspiration
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
my project main purpose is measuring human height.
the project consists of 3 main parts:
the base which is for balance and digital screen to give us the output
main body is slided on a wooden stand
tall wooden stand
I face a challenge on the wooden stand height so I searched for wooden joints. there were traditional ang digital joints as shown in the images.
The most appropriate joint types I found were:
tongue and groove joint
Joints with key shapes
you can find the full info in the links below

6 Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6 Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
Minimum User Features
