Mind maps B (Mind map of chosen element from mind map A) were reviewed in this session, and each one was given a brief about what our next assignment is. We were all explained this assignment individually as everyone was working on different disciples and elements.
-> Assignment – Think of an up-cycled design for your element and make a 3-dimensional prototype for the same. Initiate by sketching 3-5 different ideas and choose the best one.
We were then asked to start sketching the iterations in the class, and review it to faculty.
This is an app for bookshelf. It has various features like to arrange the books in an alphabetical order by default, it will also have a Wishlist the reader has for the books, options like google and youtube search. This is a normal physical bookshelf that can be revolved. It will be less spacious. It also involves technology – it includes the 26 switches, one for each letter, if a switch, say ‘H’ is pressed, The shelves containing books whose name start with H will pop out. This feature allows the user to easily access the shelf and does not consume much time for searching a book. This involves features just like the previous one. It just has a different form and shape. This is a moving shelf that will be half inserted in the wall. The books will be going inside the boxes. Boxes will also contain a notch so that it doesn’t lead to any bias.
