Heating & Cooling Core

The heating core is used to drastically improve the mechanical aim and control of the mouse due to an increased blood circulation that allows for more fluid movements. The increased sensitivity helps users to react faster to gameplay. Improved blood circulation also prevents the development of Gamer's Thumb and Cubital Tunnel Syndrome as activating heat to help warm the user up before playing reduces the amount of friction between tendons and muscles - which is the common cause of such injuries. The cooling fan ensures users have a proper cooldown when nearing the end of a gaming session, and also manages the temperature of the heating core so that it is at a consistent temperature. The cooldown aspect of the fan helps balance the benefits of the heat and reduces the chance of chronic inflammation.

Haptic Wrist Correction

Haptic Control for the wrist is to prevent the occurrence of Ulnar and Radial Deviations (which is the improper flexing and extension of the wrist in the left and right direction) that can lead to Carpal & Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. The haptics trigger when detecting an improper flex of the wrist (if the mouse gets extended too far left or right, the haptics would trigger). and helps to indicate to the user through a feeling in the mouse to realign their wrist to keep it straight. Being able to keep the wrist straight and encourage movements using the forearm than the wrist drastically reduces the chances of injury, though can also benefit the performance of the user through better aiming habits. The haptic data can be sent back to an app that breaks down the movement of the user and can help them analyse to improve.

JOYRIDE Website

An eCommerce website that helps to pitch the concept surrounding Responsive Furniture. Launched under the brand JOYRIDE - the websites main aim is to create a gateway to sell products and communicate what is responsive furniture, in order to generate sales and deals. This project was done during my placement year at Spliced Studios, in which our whole team collaborated on producing the content, communications and build of our first website launch.
