Analysis of the existing situation in public transportation validator systems - testing and making a survey. Human-centered analysis of the product usability. Differentiation of the design problems.

 

 

Primary sketches and first ideas based on the existing form of the existing working principle.

Human-centered tests with LCD display to measure the most suitable height and identify the perfect angle for showing the information for children and grown-ups. 

The main goal is to visually reduce the volume of the object and make visual information clearily shown on the display as well as implify NFC card scanning process in the comfortable and easy way.

As whole product doesn't fit on the "printing surface' the object is splitted in few parts to be 3D-printed separately.

Different parts are glued together. Creatively. With tension requiered.

Printing another model, checking dimentions, fitting required pats inside, designing holders and edges of stiffness. Best friend - MakerBot Replicator 2X. 

Morning surprise. A bit of art from my friend MakerBot. Looks impressive. Not sure if it is impressionism, abstractionism or expressionism. Any ideas?

First prototype to check usability, angle of viewing information, NFC scanning and tangibility of the form.

Enhancing stylistics and characteristics of the product to look different and unusual as diamond and "iron wolf' (symbol of Vilnius) to fit the stylistics of Tramway Design for Vilnius.

Integration of the product into its' natual surroundings.

The new LCD display with improved angle visibility is chosen. The goal is to make a friendly product to be visually light, unnoticable and at the same time unique and modern.

Minimalistic appearance, thin look, clear visual information, friendly edges, smooth and elegant fastening to the public transport pipes.
