Well this fall is al about identity and interaction. Our assignment is to come up whit a product that in some way can be linked to the word recharge, and then build a brand around this product.
But I also haw personal a goal for this semester. I would really like to design a product that is real, that can be produced. So I had a chat whit my father, he runs a shoe factory so we thought maybe we could find a link between recharge and shoes. So far we only have to projects in mind.
One of them is an electric powered shoe that is self-heating. This shoe is meant for people that are having trouble whit their blood circulation in their feet. This is actually such a big problem for some people that they can’t go outside on cold days. But if we could find a good way to solve the many problems around this product this might also have a commercial potential.
The other concept is a sole that has a shock absorber that can be changed. This will allow the user to have a more custom fitted shoe for their need. As a shock absorber needs to be of a higher shore for a heavier person than it needs to be for a small person. The only problem whit this is that I really can’t find a mediate link between this and recharge. So if you can think of any link between the to pleas let me know!
