DFM Project The brief was to create a handheld gaming controller that immerses players by simulating in-game environments using temperaturechanging technology. The target market includes gamers, tech enthusiasts, and those seeking innovative experiences.

Nimbus Solo Project

Context Temperature-Driven Immersion in Gaming:

Physiological Impact of Temperature Feedback:

The gaming industry is continuously evolving, with immersive experiences becoming a key driver of innovation. This controller enhances immersion by using Peltier modules to simulate real-world temperature changes, allowing players to physically feel the environments they explore.

Research indicates that sensory feedback, such as temperature variation, deepens emotional engagement and heightens realism in gaming. By integrating dynamic heat and cooling effects, this controller enhances player experience, making in-game climates feel tangible.

Enhanced Engagement Through Sensory Stimuli:

Competitive Edge in Immersive Gaming:

Gamers are more engaged when multiple senses are stimulated. Studies show that incorporating haptic and temperature feedback increases user involvement, reinforcing the link between physical sensation and digital environments.

A significant percentage of gamers seek more realism in their gameplay. This controller sets itself apart by offering a unique blend of tactile temperature shifts and ergonomic comfort, ensuring a next-level immersive experience that players will want to share.

Ideation I used an iterative sketching process to explore form, ergonomics, and functionality. Rapid concept sketches helped refine ideas, while detailed drawings focused on usability and aesthetics. Each iteration brought improvements, shaping a design that balances immersion and comfort.

Development I took an iterative approach, creating multiple models to refine ergonomics. Starting with rough prototypes, I tested grip, button placement, and weight distribution. Each iteration informed improvements, ensuring a comfortable and immersive gaming experience.

Technical Details For the technical details, I focused on precision and manufacturability, ensuring every aspect of the design was production-ready. I explored material properties, thermal management, and component integration in depth, refining details to optimise performance and durability.

The Product

Final Design

Sketch Book The brief was to create a digital sketch log book showcasing my development in sketching and communication. It documents key techniques from 11 sessions, including perspective, exploded views, and rendering, using both hand-drawn and digital methods. This log book highlights my progress in visualising complex designs and aligns with my personal design identity to support future opportunities.

This exercise enhanced my ability to turn flat, two-dimensional sketches into three-dimensional forms. By merging multiple viewpoints and applying techniques such as line weight, shading, and construction lines, I honed my skills in conveying depth and perspective effectively.

3D

This task sharpened my grasp of perspective principles and emphasised the value of constructing sketches with clear guidelines. I improved my capability to create dynamic and proportionally accurate 3D representations, ensuring clarity and consistency in visual communication.

Rendering Skills

Using Procreate’s brush tools, I added texture, depth, and highlights to my designs. This approach enabled me to achieve realistic effects and emphasise key features, elevating the presentation and aesthetic quality of my renderings.

Exploded Views

This exercise focused on breaking down complex assemblies into individual components. I gained expertise in accurately positioning elements while maintaining proper alignment and scale, resulting in clear depictions of each design’s functionality.

DiP Project How might we make a product that effectively combats Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) by combining the proven benefits of light therapy and aromatherapy into a single, aesthetically pleasing device?

Solo Project

Context Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) impacts 1-2% of the population, with 10-20% experiencing milder "winter blues". A notable gender disparity exists, as women are four times more likely to be diagnosed than men. The disorder predominantly affects individuals aged 18 to 30, highlighting its prevalence among younger adults.

Symptoms typically persist for 4-5 months during fall and winter, aligning with reduced daylight hours.

These statistics underscore the intersection of environmental factors, demographics, and seasonal patterns in SAD’s manifestation.

Prototyping I began the design process by modelling initial concepts with cardboard to explore basic shapes and proportions. From there, I transitioned to foam to refine the form and ergonomics, allowing for more detailed iterations.

Finally, I utilised 3D printing to test and perfect the design, creating a series of prototypes to ensure functionality and aesthetic appeal.

This iterative approach allowed me to develop and refine the final form with precision.

The Product

Heliora features three magnetically sealed compartments for easy scent cartridge insertion. Each holds an essential oil-infused pad, gently diffusing fragrance during use. Users can swap scents to suit their needs, from relaxation to focus.

In office spaces, multiple Heliora units can create a tailored atmosphere. Strategically placed, they can enhance concentration in work areas or promote relaxation in break zones, subtly improving mood and productivity.

An initial 10,000-unit production run is required to offset high injection moulding tooling costs, serving as a market test while minimizing storage expenses. Scaling production will reduce costs. Labour estimation: each part takes 40-50 seconds, yielding 72-90 items/hour (1.2–1.5 items/minute).

Producing 10,000 units requires ~111–139 hours or 14–17 working days (8-hour shifts), adjusting for cycle time variability and uninterrupted production.
