BACKGROUND
This is a sprint 1 about the process of creating a smart coaster which measures your drink temperature and also reminds you to drink water where i have interviewed the users who would like to buy or use this product .
Brief about the interviews with the users.
Use the Low-Fidelity prototype to design the prototype.
OBJECTIVE #1: Users interviews
OBJECTIVE #1: Users interviews
Trial #1 (successful): User-Centered Research
Trial #1 (successful): User-Centered Research
In order to add features about any product you should ask the users first who are interested in your product so that is what i have interviewed 3 users who may be interested in using the product.
The first user totally agreed with upcoming the features of the product.
Music Reactive LEDs in the coaster
A reminder to drink water regularly
A continues LED indicator to indicate the water temperature
The second user agreed with the previous features too but he suggested to adjust the water reminder's beep to be quite as possible and add the knock sensor to switch between the music reactive mode and the the temperature indicator also he really didn't agree with the idea of this feature.
Last and Third user needed the things to be simple and quite he needed only the LEDs to blink once every specific period of time and did not agree at all with the music reactive feature also disagreed the water reminder feature.
So after recording all those results i decided to remove the music reminder feature or create a separated for those who are interested in a feature like this and keep the water reminder with a very quite beep.
Minimum Features: Measure the temperature and indicate it using the LEDs
Complete Features: Add water reminder feature.
Nice-to-have Features: Add Music reactive feature
Trial #2 (Successful): CAD Design Process.
Trial #2 (Successful): CAD Design Process.
The process of designing the enclosure was very easy and it took only 20 minutes to design.
The Design of the coaster needed to be small and reliable and simple so after some researches i discovered that
The common shape among the the coasters is a rounded so i decided just to keep the shape of the coaster rounded and for the lights i have added 2 pieces of acrylic
A transparent acrylic ring for the lights and the other piece for the drinks base with the temperature sensor included in it .
Also i have added a holder for the sensor in the base of the acrylic.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSION
What I learned this week is...
Discuss the features of the product with the users .
Design the Low-Fidelity prototype.
