assessment2










In the concept stage the first concept is a unit of touch screen work station,people could work together the technology is using multi touch screen.
the second concept is a mirror in the cloth retail environment could reflect the effect that people dress up. this is also a system, it could choose clothe on the mirror and fitting on, it also shows the avaliable size color and other information.it provide the convinience of people fitting the cloth. the last concept is a sit with 360 degree view and srounded sound effect and the chair with massage system. it makes people love the work time on the chair.

my tutor gives me his advice is the second concept it have system and product so it is much more fit the request. he said i need to design a product that could scan a human body shape and then the mirror will reflect the exact effact when people fit in the cloth. XIAOYA ZHANG suggest me to design the scanner fitting in the pubilc area like cloth store or in the mall so every people could scan themselves and make a detail into their own account. SONGPING suggest me consumer could scan themselves for free and they could use their detail when they at home and when whey log in to the cloth retail web they could use their details to look the exact view when they fit in the cloth. Then they want to buy the cloth they could search the nearst shopping mall where have their size and color or they could do mail to their home.

T2 VIDEO REFLECTION: Video 6 energy efficient design


Energy efficient design is considered from the overview of the whole system lifecycle of energy produce, transformed and consumed. In the example, the refrigerator only consumed 16%of the energy. But these 16% energy produced a lot waste like green house gas, water consumption. But instead by using solar energy the efficient increased and produces less waste.
Meanwhile to solve this problem and increase energy efficiency we should consider the right technologies and energy sources even right material etc. on the other hand to minimizing energy lost is also important. There have a lot clean energy nowadays so the best way of using it could much more benefit the environment
In conclusion the way of using energy, how to increase the energy efficiency and how to reduce energy loss is a further steps we should consider as a designer.    

T2 VIDEO REFLECTION: Video 5 Green materials selection


This video talked about what is green material. Firstly Green material is abundant non toxic minimal resources and right physical properties of function but also meet regulation, good end of life options and also affordable. Secondly I am thinking is even we have a lot of material could use for design as a designer we should compare many materials and familiar with the material production process and waste. Meanwhile we need know the material physical properties then we could choose the best material for specific design. Thirdly in the video we could use a mug instead the disposable paper cups. This is a good example of what we could do. Most people think we use paper cup for public conditions like party, public working place and nobody want to bring a heavy mug to every where maybe there have a opportunity that we could design a sustainable material durable lightweight cup.
In conclusion there have a lot of opportunity that could change our life. Material selection is a important aspect of sustainable design.
