HUMAN CENTERED DESIGN
Project 1: Virtual Yoga Adjustments
During Covid-19 people have been doing a lot of yoga at home in order to keep their bodies healthy and feeling good while spending so much time at home. However most yogis like attending in person classes because of the personal adjustments from teachers. During a yoga practice it is common for people to need their poses tweaked to get the most out of a stretch. People who do poses incorrectly can cause serious harm to muscles and ligaments of the body.The virtual yoga adjustment software will have a sensor that will monitor the body's movements and indicate when the person is in the correct position.
Just like the back posture corrector, there will be small attachments on the body so the sensor can accurately pinpoint the different parts of the body. The attachment must be thin and flexible like fabric so it will be comfortable during a yoga practice
Project 2: Self-Walking Surfboard

Surfboard frustrations

The Self-walking surfboard is to make it easier on surfers to cary their board across a long stretch of beach. Bringing a large long board from a car down to the shore can be extremely difficult for someone with short arms or of you are carrying other items at the same time. This surfboard will have legs that come out of the board with a touch of a button. The board can be easily controlled with a remote so it can walk with you to the ocean without breaking a sweat.
