AVVIA hairdryer stripped down to meet the essential needs and functions users have always desired from a hairdryer.With an unrestrictive handle, omnidirectional airflow,and charging dock allowing wireless capability,dry your hair the way you’ve been wanting to.

cord is a hindrance to being able to fully use the hairdryer

the handle makes it difficult to dry parts of the hair without straining the wrists

a dryer that gives users freedom of control to dry their hair

OBSERVE & EXPERIENCE

Overall form designed to allow your hands the full range of motion even when drying hard-to-reach portions

360° airflow means you don’t have to point the nozzleat awkward angles anymore

Charge it with the included base while you shower and use it after without the hassle of wires getting in the way

Pressure-sensitive control ring allows on-the-fly changes of air intensity

allows airflow from topMESH SURFACE

OBSERVE, EXPERIENCE, INTERACT & ANTICIPATE

current working environment - mostly landscape at road level

future working environment - many rooftop gardens and grass at varying levels,bringing equipment around is a huge concern

maintain landscape with many tools, most common - grass cutter, has issues about comfort and causes aches onto back and wrists

equipment that can be operated in the future landscape without comfort and ergonomic issues

MOCK-UPS & INTERACT

testing out concept gathering feedback from user

usage scenario

ROLLER durable rubber roller makesbringing around cutter easier

GUARD flexible d3o material allows it to be folded when notin use while resistant on impact

CHARGING JACKS compatible with various electric charging stations

TELESCOPIC SHAFTextendable at the push of a button

VERTICAL HANDLEreachable throttle control & angled comfortably

CIRCULAR HANDLEallows various grip positions

BATTERY PACKslide-out system makes it easy to remove or replace

BATTERY DOCKbagpack design so easily equipped and taken off or carry around

durable omnidirectional rubber roller means users can move around various landscapeswithout shaft as a hindrance as they candrag it along

circular handle gives users various ways to hold in different situations while throttle control is placed to ensure wrists are not strained

slide-out battery packallows easy removaland replacement

safety guard made of d3o® material allows to bend around shaft when not in use so less of a hindrance & with a push will snap into shape whilst also being able to withstand impacts

Bagpack includes a 40v battery pack that can be chanrged at EV charging station

Inspired by the perserverance of diabeties sufferers, LINN is the ideal solution for working patients as it allows for better management of their conditon, giving them peace of mindand a balanced lifestyle

The drawback is that her body will have abnormally low blood sugar level when the day starts, affecting the rest of her day via tiredness, migranes, etc

She also does that as she doesn’t bring her kit to work due to people seeing and no chilled area to keep it

i saw an opportunity for a solution in the missing link between her worries about her blood sugar level throughout the day and her unorthodox measures she takes to keep it in check

she administers more than required insulin before she goes to work, so she can eat & drink without worrying about her blood sugar level throughout the day

embarressment, shame and anxiety were the emotions that she experienced and thus shaped her behaviour

LED Screendisplays blood sugar level,history, date, time & battery level

Breathalyzerdetects blood sugar level

Skinkeeps canister chilled and adds personality

measure blood sugar levelby blowing into breathalyzerfor about 2 seconds while pressing button

view reading (green/red)and see if and how much dosage of insulin is needed (when red)

turn over to other side

Insulin

users just need to breathe into the holesto know their blood sugar level instead of pricking and testing to get that information, the value is then relayed to the screen above, beside the mouthpiece

the IR Sensor detects the blood sugar level and then extends the Flow Control Device, working in tandem with the Plunger to release the appropriate amount of insulin

insulin is to be dispensed into the tissues below the tongue, an area which allowsfor fast absorption into the body without the hassle of injecting themselves

users can customize their device with different skins
