Intuative Interaction: Jordan
Key of use in menu: Rafe
Tech drawings: Iain
Hero shot and renders: Iain

I picked up the models from the workshop and painted them ready for the movie. We met more with Yasu to finalise our Arduino codes. The video of the working Arduino can be found on google docs group 8.

I needed help to get the interactive foam models cut in half so I went to see the workshop guys and they helped me out.

The model which would be used in context was 3d printed. This would allow for accurate portrayal of shape and size. It was then painted to represent the product exactly. We also tested it on multiple bottles to try the fit.

The materials were then decided. It was neccissary to include materials that had corrosion resistance.

It was decided that the LED was to be interchangable. As a result the cover piece would have to be removed. The cover piece would consist of a thread with an O-ring wedged inbetween to prevent water leakage. 

We then bunkered down for a night and completed the movies and boards.

For our presentations it was neccissary to produce two different videos. The videos would contain both an interactive model demonstration and a context use demonstration. 

When developing the induction charging unit for the device numerous existing designs were examined (including: wine bottle holders, spice racks etc.)

It was decided to integrate the charging unit into a system which can interchange between hanging onto walls and sitting on benchtops. Ideas such as flexible storages and bending designs were investigated.
