Final Concept

The blog post «Prototyping VI» described our thoughts going into the output object. We decided to display a full work day on the base of our "trophy". In this blog post, we will explain our final concept for the fabricated output.

‍

In this particular example, we simulated a full day with 2-3 stressful moments in it. This is the situation we came up with to test our concept:

This device is used by a designer who works best in the morning. He feels the most creative and productive from 8 to 12 am. On this particular day, he had to wait for a creative brief from a client in order to start his work. After 9 o'clock he still hasn't received the email from the client and showed his stress level rising with the wearable. It peaked at around 10 o'clock because he got the news that he will receive it after lunch: the time of the day that he's usually the most unproductive. This made him angry and his stress-level is also imprinted in the afternoon while working on the project.

After 6 pm his shift is over and the completed shape is being fabricated and ready for him to stack on his very own trophy. On his next meeting with the people involved in the project, the shape will indicate a problem on this day. Now is the time to use the fabricated shape to discuss what went wrong on this particular day and how the situation can be improved in the future.
