Your design is very environmental friendly. I like you consider about the children in your design to eduate them have sustainable consciousness. For the improvement, how do people know the battery still have the left power? Maybe you could also show it on the poster.

I like your design! The shape looks very interesting. I like you interaction board which it's very clear to show how do elderly use your product. But i have the question how do they recharge the product and how to return it? since it's movable how to make it stable on the wheelchair? You can consider these into your design. Overall, you have done great work.

Project 2- Final

 
 



 
Project Two: Sustainable Product Service System
 
The big Idea
 
Nowadays, passenger volume increase at the airport every year, however, there are limited chargers in the airport. People often feel anxious when their phones are out of power. My design is a product service system that solves this problem. The power bank is designed to charge your phone in the international airport by using the power bank lending machine.
 
The features of this device:
 
-Multi-functional
 
·    Phone charger- Use the phone while it is charging
·    Boarding time reminder- Connect to Wifi, renew the flight time, remind delay and boarding time (vibrating system)
 
-Portable- clip on your clothes or pants.
 
-Chargers selection
 
We provide charging cables include micro-usb, Iphone4/4s, Iphone5 and also provide multiple charging cables.
 
Sustainability Concerns:
 
-Use the recycled plastics ABS
 
-The battery is replaceable.
 
-Green energy generates electricity
 
Lending Process:
 
Firstly, go to the lending machine and then use your flight ticket and credit card to lend the power bank, finally, return it at the boarding gate.

Project2- Pre-final

 










Tutor Scott's feedback:
He suggested me focus on designing the product. Why is the shape, what’s the scale, how the information on the device connects to each other and how to use this?

Project 2 Week 1 +2 Reflection











 
 
CONCEPTS


 
 
 
Peer comments: (from Clark Peiyi Hou,  Bech, Ole Andre, Olivia Qiuyuan, Lin)
1.They said the first concept they saw no difference from the existing bike renting but the colour appeals to people. need to see the new feature about this product service.

2. They all like the second concept. it has the potential for development. Think about the details. Maybe e-magazine is more fashionable.

3. The problem for the third concept is where can you position your machine.

Comment for tutor Scott:
For the concept2;
How does it work? Where it come from? Who involve in it? -Build a system map
How to prevent stealing and dirty?





So, I found it is very hard to develop the concept 2 and another concept come into my mind.
Umbrella Lending

Sudden storm always attack in many citys in the world. Weather forecast sometimes is not accurate. People do not bring their umbrella everyday.  
The umbrella renting service can save this trouble.



Feedback from Tutor: He said i should focus on design the product instead of doing a big vending machine because it wastes electricity. In addition, the umbrellas are not at one place- uni and they can be at other places.

Week5 - Life cycle analysis Activity





 






 

This week, our group disassembled Breville Citrus Press and the process was quite interesting.  At the beginning it was easy to be disassembled but then it became harder and harder. Then, we generated the product's life cycle analysis report by using greenfly. This report indicates that energy damage and global warming are the most significant issues, water use and solid wastes can not be neglectable as well.
