Concept Analysis

Concept 1 is the first of the ‘CF (Carbon Footprint) tracker’ conceptual series; initally exploring potential methods of tracking the user’s carbon footprint. Two devices were conceptualised, both focusing on the system of a mother unit and a set of offspring units. This initial idea is to use the mother unit as a hub for storing data collected from the offspring units’ scanner. As seen in the concept board, these devices would scan the barcodes of food products before sending the CF data back to the mother unit, via wireless or direct connection. I do not like any of these designs, I will only carry over the features and functions created, especially the product’s ability of attaching itself to a flat surface.

Concept 2 further explores the mother and offspring system in a household. The mother unit would a large stationary unit that reflects the idea of an Wifi router, with it being a major feature in a house. The daughter units are cards that are slotted into devices connected to appliances and power sockets. Every room would have one these cards installed, sending related CF data back to the mother unit. I really like this concept, however, I worry the idea of the cards being stored in the mother unit is unnecessary. Instead of two devices used to transfer CF data, it would be better to just have one. Tracking the user’s CF data is important, so I will come back to this concept again.

Concept 3 explores a wearable device that allows the user to kee track of their CF data while on the go using a flexible touchscreen tha wraps around the user’s wrist. The ability to scan the barcodes on foo packaging to record their CF rating. I really like this concept, the use o up-incoming flexible technology is an exciting and brilliant opportunit for me to explore. Furthermore, exploring wearable technology wi allow for the user to be made more aware of the carbon footprin everywhere they go, rather than using static household devices.

Concept 4 moves onto tracking CF while on the move, by using a modified satnav. The CF data will be calculated by tracking the distance travelled by the vehicle, the fuel efficiency, engine use, fuel usage, etc. However, the main issue is allowing the product access to the data points so that it can obtain the information required. I have heard a current existing product that allows user’s to receive data from their car. Perhaps this could be explored and paired with this concept?

17

Concept 5 explores tracking the user’s daily routine with a focus on their purchases. I find the idea of a data points linked to purchases really interesting. This could be used to push a reward system where someone can obtain credit if they score a low carbon footprint from their recent purchases.

Similar system to nectar points or reward programs with supermarkets.

Concept Evaluation

Concept 6 is the start of a new range of concepts that focuses on making the user aware of their carbon footprint. This one explores a personal assistant that follows the user and notifies them verbally when their CF has changed positively or negatively. Another key feature explored is the feature of turn off appliances, lights and other powered products if the user forgets to turn them off. An important thing to note is that this new set of concepts would be linked to CF tracking devices for it to be functional. I love this idea, it needs to be explored further as there are lots of factors to look into. I will need to look into how people interact with products.

Concept Evaluation

18

Concept 7 really interesting, as instead of having a robotic personal assistant follow you around, you have your pet notify you of any changes to your CF data. An issue that links to the robot PA is timing of notifications: thinking about it would be best to have notifications only occur during the day and much less frequently than the robot, so that the pet is not bothered by the collar speaking. Another issue is that the device should only notify the user, when the pet is within applicable hearing distance of the user. This will prevent wasted energy and make the device more ‘realistic’. I also like the idea of being able to earn rewards as a result of having a high CF score, I will explore this further, particularly if it should be monetary gain or something more related to the project.

Concept Analysis

Concept 8 is an abstract, low tech method of creating CF awareness by exploring how people interact with their phones. Apps that track the user’s screen time are a currently existing product, which provides the user how long they have been using their phone or using a particular app; additionally, the user can set timers using the app to notify when they have been using an app for too long and stop them from using it. This concept explores a similar idea. I really like the idea of a phone case that changes colour to something off putting, or vibrating to make the user aware of their phone usage and to encourage them to use it less. It is quite a unique solution, which seems gimmicky at first, however, I would love to make it seen as an essential product.

Concept 9 is a really cool and unique from, the TV show, Futurama. The sh notes that have been made ‘smart’ can speak to the user and is aware interesting idea and it inspired me t card that has an extra chip with the a purchase made by the user. As sta the user is made aware if the CF of providing advice how to decrease it n this further, either having the speake further with a shop that utlilises sim Amazon ‘Just walk out’ grocery store

e idea. Inspired by the futuristic cash how, based in the far future, has cash and have animated figure head that e of the surroundings. This is a really to come up with this concept. A bank e function of recording the CF data of ated above, this data is analysed and f the shop was low or high, perhaps next time round. I would love to explore er built into a smart wallet, or push it milar ‘self-scanning’ tech used at the e.

Concept 10 explores wearable technology, except these concepts are much more lower tech than the flexible device concept. Lower tech products will allow to be more affordable and feasible as it will be using preexisting technology. Utilising a scanner to scan the barcodes of products is a simple way to obtain CF data, but it needs to be explored further. I do not like the design of the necklace assistant, as its quite bland; however, the idea of it is interesting and I will explore it further to find a design that will work. An important and unique aspect of these concepts is its ability to communicate the carbon score of the user via audio and visual methods, helps it stand out as a product.

Concept Evaluation

Concept 11 reflects the idea of a household assistant, similar to Amazon Echo and Google Home, based around tracking the household’s carbon footprint. Utilises audio to make the user aware of if there are any changes and provide advice on how to reduce their CF if it is too high. This concept could be paired with a series of products and act as a Hub for the CF data.

The product collects all of the information collected by tracking devices, calculates the data and figures out if it has a high or low CF rating, before sending out the data to the devices near the user to provide advice and updates. This system approach will be imperative for the success of the product and it is a brilliant idea too. I will be pushing this design further and create a range of products that cooperate with each other to change the behaviour of the user towards a more sustainable mindset.

A curvaceous and minimalistic form that merges the Carbon Globe and the turtle body to create a smooth unique shape.

High CF Rating The simulation constructed within the globe represents a living ecosystem that grows and develops as a result of the user’s CF rating. This simulation severely downgrades in response to a low CF rating. It will convey a strong pessimistic vision of the future that the rating will cause if the user keeps carrying on their current lifestyle.

Carbon Turtle A form of the endangered sea turtle that uses a digital simulation to notify the user of their CF rating. This simulation contains a world that is affected by the carbon footprint of the user. The change in the rating will either improve or damage the simulation as a method to reward or punish the user. Creating an emotional connection with the user is the goal of this product and is essential for the product’s success.

Shifting Carbon This design utilises a visualisation of the carbon dioxide molecular structure to make the user aware of their CF rating.

The ‘atom’ spheres move up and down in response to the user’s rating. The product would be a piece of decor, located in areas of high activity within the user’s home. This will be applied to all these designs.

Shifting Aves 1 A pyramid-shaped product with a tesselated surface that ‘spikes’ out in response to a poor CF rating. It is a harsh, abstract form that has the face of an Owl. The emotion of the face would also change in response to the user’s rating. An extra feature is its ability to rotate, this will be used to follow the user as they move around the room, this will aid in catching the attention of the user.

Urn-shaped form - quite boring and it reflecting an urn is dark, when it needs to be appealling and ignite a cheerful atmosphere.

Large number of light up cheek freckles.

Exploring a range of different tail forms - the initial tail (far right) is most appealing due to being most minimal.

Initial CAD model - exploring the minimal form, sketched previously.

Large jar-shape form Smaller number freckles - more appealling than the previous form’s freckles.

The tail is too long, needs to be shorter. I prefer the previous form’s tail much more.

Large rounded jar-shape form Cuter and very appealling - could allow for the ‘tilting mechanism’?

Tail needs to be shorter...

Larger number of cheek freckles but more sparsed and in the shape of a heart. - This is a very adorable and aesthetic idea, I will be pushing this in future designs.

Large plum-shape form w/ rounded bottom Quite appealling - reminds me of a brooding hen.

Rounded bottom will allow for the ‘tilting mechanism’.

I like the tail design, its raised position does not compromise the product’s suitability for the ‘tilting mechanism’. The tail could be made shorter.

Larger heart configuration of freckles - I quite like this design, but I am not sure about it.

Egg-shape form Interesting shape but it does not not look quite right. Perhaps if the facial features were lowered it would be better?

Rounded bottom will allow for the ‘tilting mechanism’.

Tail design is wrong, I definitely prefer the previous tail design. I do not like the extra chamfer at the bottom of the tail.

Very appealling freckled cheek pattern - resembles blushed cheeks.

A similar version of the plum-form, but it is poorer in aesthetic appeal. It does not have the same soft aesthetic and does not flow as well.

Interesting freckle pattern but its too vast, the minimalistic patterns of previous designs are much more appealling.

I do not like the tail design at all. It is not appealling and it does not work.

Taking inspiration from real-life photos of different penguin species (taken from google images) will be essential to linking the effects of climate change and a desired cute form to the design. The penguin is one of the first animals that come to mind when thinking about the effects of climate change on our environment, as discussed with my lecturers and fellow classmates. Penguins have a range of features that can inspire my design, especially from their chicks, as I am looking for a method to create an emotional connection between user and product: cute features are required.

Bland design, does not reflect penguin-based design of the hub device.

Improved design, includes the ‘eye’ from the hub device. Slim and minimal.

Ugly widened face, I prefer the slim fo of the previous version. I am unsure ab adding the freckle lights.

This version is much more appeall is slimmer and I love the face detai have also added the ability to remo computer and clip onto thin items, s clothing.

Added penguin face detail. Interesting but its not slim enough.

Further exploration of the clip design.

Interesting watch design but too bulky and bland.

Out of all these designs on this page, I find this design the most appealling. It is slim, minimalistic and I really like design of the lighting. My next step is to explore the mechanical / engineering detail of this design.

122 The Perch will act as a component which the main device would rest upon. It will store the carbon footprint data, the main electronics and will have a mechanism that will tilt the top component in response to the user’s rating.

This design is too small and may compremise the structural stability of the product, especially when the product is being tilted.

I have increased the radius of the bottom dish of the main component and will allow for a cleaner tilt, however, this has created a large gap when fully tilted. This could be hazard, as it may be big enough for someone’s finger to be trapped in. Additionally, I have a platform for the device to rest on.

Exploring simplified design that will allow the product to tilt 30 degrees maximum.

This is a much better design. It is spherical, which will allow for a clean movement while the product tilts and it will not create a gap.

Additionally, I have added the signature eye light from the Hub design.

I have updated the design so that it now tilts forwards. I think this would make it more functional, as it tilting forwards, makes it look sad and depressed. Like when someone is sad, they are more slumped.

I have improved the entire design further by making the form appear more smoother and flowing. I made the eye light follow the face detail, which is more appealling and may make it more suitable for injection moulding. The light can allow the part split into two parts.

However, at its current state, the bottom half is unsuitable for the manufacture method, unless its made out of a material that is flexible enough.
