sketch: school project


a ongoing school project but I doubt the other groups doing this project have found their way here... markers on second sketch got messed up. they bled tremendously.

this is a USB sender and receiver for controlling electronic devices in your home from your computer. it's meant to be able to do schedule tasks and receiving input from around the home. USB connection is on the back and a 12V plug in front to amplify signal if needed.

basic idea behind the design; slim and easy to bring along with your portable computer. people move away from stationed computers more and more so why create a product that only helps to lock one at place? essential for the product is that it must be very cheap to produce since the market is very young.

for the even more super nerds, it's symmetrical both at length and from the middle out, so only one of two parts need to be produced. the shape makes it ideal to withstand torque compared to a flat one. that allows us to cut down on the material. all in all it adds up to a slim, cheap product that just might look kinda appealing too(?). might add some of the other rejected sketches too at a later stage.

I'm out.
