Learnings


  • Designing the system for prototyping should be done early to opt for quick iterations. In this situation the design of the first prototype was not flexible enough at the begining because there was no considerations on their physical relations. But it became much easier after designing the components assembly in a modular fashion. And that leads to the design for the final form factor.

  • It’s important to design from usecases, but the project will lead to new possibilities when being open-minded and not clinging on to and thus struggling with the initial visions.
