Product developed for a user with "hand arthritis". She was not able to grap transportation- bus-subway tubes and small objects like fork, knife, spoons, cups, plates.
Therefore it was developed two projects:
1. FIRST PROJECT
Hand Holder for public transportation (open-close cilinder activated by hand and fingers movement).
2. SECOND PROJECT
Cushion holder to grab kitchen dinnerware, forks, spoons, small plates, broom.
Project only, not physical prototipes done.
Three stages were necessary to design the assistive technology elements:
1. Market research, benchmarking and personal interview and assesment with end-user.
2. Plaster mold of both hands to later develop a silicon hand model to test several design proposals.
3. Sketchs
4. 3D models at 3D Max (Autocad)
