Challenge
It is very difficult to create a new kind of photography equipment that has not existed anywhere in a small, portable device.
This means that we have to do a lot of trial and error from making a mechanical to a physical product that requires investment.
Experiment with prototypes that go wrong several times before finding a perfect fit.

My Role
Product Designer, Business Research, Patent Research, 3D Mechanical Engineering

Proposed solutions
Inventing a new 360-degree photography device that has never been done before.
Research
Before making products I have recreated various customer bases, how many GoPro customer bases, and where are they located. before investing in the actual product. And found that most customers who are stylish, and energetic, like to exercise and move. Will be in America - Europe and very little in Asia.
Persona
Client for rugged tourists, ages 20 to 30, extreme sports athletes, and showrunners.
Customer
-Male adventurers aged 20-30
-Extreme Sport Athletes
Feedback
Within 1 day, the result is better than expected, able to reach 1,000 LIke balance and the direct message amount comes in to inquire about buying products overwhelmingly, causing the Admin to reply in time
Prototyping
Lead the team in the development of industrial product
I started by using wooden sticks to disassemble as prototypes so that I could play with them. and can be folded first which is fine, but the image that comes out is very difficult to have the camera constantly pointing at us while using it.
Later, I entered the 3D program and began to print for real use.
But the problem with 3D printing was that the price was very high at that time when only 3D printing machines were sold in that era.
I switched to another technique for simulating aero dynamics by externalizing the
acrylic cutting
And this is an experimental picture. which I had to print several times before getting each piece to test
But the serious problem of this project is the technical inability to actually mold the mold. Or if it can be done, the project will set a budget of millions. But actually, I have a budget for supporting my project, only 1.3 million baht, causing my team to start to get discouraged, going to fight until the team broke up, which made this project very slow. So I went to get to know and used a new special plastic-forming technique, which is a technique for making a molded CNC, unable to make it work. In the end, I went to work as deep as 3D Mechanical Engineering. Causing this project to be delayed for several months because I had to study and do it myself
Finally, I solved this problem with this molding technique. This technique I added to the patent on how it is formed. Because it's a difficult thing that even some beginner-intermediate engineers may pass by and still don't know if they don't tell what combination technique was formed with another machine

Patent
Browse patents around the world and patent and has registered a patent in their own name which is also difficult for me to study
Patent law but I got through it.
In the process of production entering the factory, I actually went to talk to the owner of the factory. Negotiate deals and deals
It took me almost a year to do what I'd been waiting for.
And finally, the last product that is ready to reproduce the module is ready for sale.
Outcome
I’m funded by the National Innovation Agency
1.3 million In the project Spin Selfie. Equipment of Action Camera.
I am the Winner of Perfect Investor Pitch The Best Pitch Award
And was offered to invest 5 million baht and with a number of shares that he offered, but I declined due to company secrets.
I have been invited to many events related to innovative product launches and have been invited to present several projects and investment proposals.
And invitations to participate in many other programs
