Human Factors

The focus for the two projects in this unit is to explore and understand the interaction and relationship between the product and the user. This brief is to design a small, portable camping stove. Essentially this is a mobile unit that will connect to an off-the-shelf camping gas canister. The camping stove must be capable of supporting a pan, can or mug, that can then be filled with water/liquid and heated by controlling the flow of gas to the burner. You can define your particular target market/user although as this product is about portability you need to consider aspects of storage and transportation – particularly if the product is still hot.
