LAPTOP FINAL DESIGN

LAPTOP WITH SCREEN

MAKING FINAL MODEL:

Final Idea Initial Render

FINAL IDEA INITIAL SKETCH

Final idea includes curved areas to allow it to be held and a portal to allow the inside/heart

of the laptop to be some. both are extra features designed to create the feeling that the laptop is not just a machine but should be looked after. For example people sometimes refer to new products such as cars / motorbikes etc as 'thier baby', 'there pride and joy' therefore i have helped evoke this feeling in my product. meaning that it is not only easy to handle as had curves and an indent to allow it to be held like a parent holding hier child but that it will be looked after. 

The portal also includes a small led which will refelct throug hthe surface giving it the feeling of a heart inside, changing color asif to change with the laptops mood as it gets hotter (purple)- ( PCU / RAM memory increases - asif stressed) and when cooler (blue).

IDEAS

this image shows the possibilities of a white laptop / silicon etc with light / led which changing colour being projected through, rther than the use of a thermo plastic

Thermoplastic materials can be remelted and cooled time after time without undergoing any appreciable chemical change:
Possibly a thermosplastic with becomes pliable when the laptop heats / rubbery and then goes back hard when its turned off and cooled down?

COLOUR CHANGING PLASTIC/ OR LED PROJECTION INSIDE?

SIZE?.. SMALL LIKE A BABY SO IS SEEN AS PRECIOUS AND A CHILD.. LOOKED AFTER?

SMALLER: 10 /11 INCH SO CAN BE HELD WITH EASE

SKIN.TEXTURES.TEMPERATURE.

LAPTOP SKIN?.. TEXTURES?.. COLOUR CHANGING?.. HEAT CHANGING? 

BY CREATING A HUMAN ELEMENT TO MY LAPTOP 

CAN / WILL IT BE TREATED LIKE A BABY?.. AND BE LOOKED AFTER AND HELD CAREFULLY, CLEANED, CHECKED ON ECT

UNLIKE LAPTOPS AT THE MINUTE WHICH ARE SEEN AS COLD MACHINES UNLIKE HUMANS

DESIGN DIRECTION

I AM GOING TO MOVE AWAY FROM JUST THE PROJECTION CONCEPTS AND CREATE A LAPTOP WITH HUMAN PRINCIPLES TO PROMOTE LOOKING AFTER IT, AND HOPEFULLY CHANGE THE FACT THAT LAPTOPS ARE SEEN AS JUST A MACHINE. 

SENSORY DESIGN.. WHILE RESEARCHING I DISCOVERED THE ALREADY AVALIABLE POSSIBILITY FOR A 'CUBE' COMPUTER.

THE CUBE WOULD CONSIST OF AN INPUT PROJECTION AND A OUTPUT PROJECTION:
THE INPUT WOULD BE A VIRTUAL KEYBOARD / MOUSEPAD (OR BOTH) :

AND THE OUTPUT ( SCREEN WOULD BE A PROJECTION ONTO A SURFACE: 

FOR EXAMPLE EVERY OFFICE DESK HAS A DIVIDED WALL: THIS COULD BE WHITE AND THE SURFACE FOR THE 'CUBE' PRJECTION.. MEANING ULTIMATE PORTABILITY WITHIN THE OFFICE. 

( TECHNOLOGY CURRENTLY AVALIABLE FOR MOBILE PHONES- SO EASILY TRANSFERRABLE) 

IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION FROM MY RESREACH THAT THE POSSBILITY OF CREATING A LAPTOP/PC CUBE IS MORE THAN A HOPEFULL THOUGHT BUT A POSSIBLE IDEA. I ALSO THINK THAT TO CREATE A PC CUBE WITH PORJECTION ABILITY AT A SIZE OF 5 INCHES X 5 INCHES IS ALSO WELL WITHIN THE POSSIBILITIES OF CURRENT TECHNOLOGY AND THE ONLY LIMITING FACTOR TO A SMALLER SIZE WOULD BE THE FINAL RETAIL PRICE FOR THE UNIT

POSSIBLY INCLUDED INTO MY HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE?

VIRTUAL PROJECTED KEYBOARD.. A POSSIBILTY

Change Of Direction in my Design / Research

After continuous research into ways of making my laptop stand out i couldn't help but think 'its still just a laptop.. a machine' i have now decided to see how i could make the laptop seem more alive and less like a lifeless machine.

LOW CHARGE CRACK APPEARING : INITIAL DESIGN 

INITIAL IDEAS:
SEEM UNIMAGINITIVE AND IT STILL LOOKS LIKE A NORMAL LAPTOP. ALTHOUGHT I WANTED TO CREATE A CONTRASTING BLAND MATTE EXTERIOR GIVING A SMALL INSIGHT TO THE VISUALLY STIMULATING LIGHT INTERIOR. IT NEEDS SOMETHING ELSE TO MAKE IT A NEW CONCEPT
