XO Tech Hockey Elbow Pad

XO Athletics familiarity with collegiate sports and connections to professional athletes.

XO Athletics Wave Technology patent(a foam/plastic composit for shock absorption). It is cost effective while reducing peak impact over time and space.

XO AthleticsTethering patent(increases/defines mobility between separate elements in protective gear).

Connection with JR-286,a sports equipment company that manufactures goods exclusively to be licensed through Nike.

Jeff Walker at XO Athletics wants to work in the sports industry. He has some useful resources:

Design Objective:

DESIGN A HOCKEY ELBOW PAD THAT EFFICIENTLY LEVERAGES XO WAVE TECHNOLOGY AND IS TRUE TO A BRAND THAT WOULD APPEAL TO JR-286.

Collegiate-type sports that XO Athletics would feel familiar with that involve peak impact.

Peak impact sports that involve multiple elements in protective gear.

XO Athletic already has a football padding system under development. A hockey elbow pad will easily exibit Wave Technology.

“I wear my old pads from when I was in high-school. I don’t need all new ones, plus they are too big anyway. I have mine all changed and set to how I like them.”

“Looks, performance, then safety. Maybe performance first, but when I feel like I look good, I play good, so it’s basically the same thing.”

“Our mom wouldn’t let us even bring our pads inside the house. They stunk. We always had to leave them in the garage. I dunno if I could wash my pads. They’d bang around a ton in the washer.”

“Just about every player on the field is already injured. Our job is to give them the very specific protection they need to prevent the injury from getting worse.” (Athletic sports trainer)

“I sometimes wear a compression shirt underneath. It feels nice. Compression shirts are pretty sweet.”

“These are the pads my mom bought me when I started playing hockey. I don’t want new ones because the new ones are too big.”

“The straps looses the more I move my arm and the more I flex.”

“It’s great that they’re trying to make it fit good and look good, but it just makes it really bulky.”

“Yeah, the hard elbows protect great, but they pry your pad loose whenever you straighten out your arm all the way.”

BRAND STATEMENTWe are a coach-founded sports technology company born on the frontlines of college athletics. We make protective gear for athletes’ stringent demands of agility, functionality, and style.

We avoid what athletes DON’T want: restrictions on mobility, extra bulk and weight, gear that’s hard to modify, terrible smell, and lack of style.

We give them what they DO want. We use our patented Shockwave composite technology to deliver adaptable, scalable, modifiable sports protection equipment that fits properly, giving maximum performance and agility while protecting against debilitating peak impact injuries that take athletes off the field and end careers.

light as possible

cost effectivenessof investment

The insert is one-size-fits-all, letting the consumer buy new compression ware as needed

No seams or straps to cause discomfort or impede movement

Having the insert separate from the sleeve allows for modularity (replace only what is needed), and let the user find a perfect fit

The insert is removeable and all soft-surfaced, re-enforcing the

perception of washability

No straps over the top of pads, letting the pad

rest relatively uncompressed

The compression sleeve fits better

and feels more comfortable than traditional straps

Jeff @ XO Athletics:

“Wow! That feels nice! All smooth and stays in place. No elbow strap feels way better.”

“Man, I could just slip the pad in the Under Armor I’d already be wearing.”

“Looks like it’s a part of me.”

“Now that I have this on I feels so much more agile than with the other kind.”

Tinker Luminair

Create 15 luminairs to sell using the provided materials:

Polycarbonate film

Copper-plated welding wire

Wrapping one wire around another creates a three-dimensional form, and allows you to attatch two wires together that remain adjustable.

While the polycarbonate can form part of the structure, it seems to detract from the wire connections. It also forms stress points that would wear it out faster.

Possible wire configuration for a folding luminair.

Rolling Pin

Compensatory behavior while using rolling pins:

• Hold handle with finger tips.• Ignore handles, roll with hands on barrel.• Put weight on lower palm and bunch up

fingers.

Problems being compensated for:

• There is not enough clearence between the bottom of the grip and the dough or table.

Additional considerations:

• Any uneven pressure will cause the corner of the pin the crease the dough.

• The grip can’t be offset and parallel to the pin. The grip will just flip down.

Solutions:

• Offset the grips to give plenty of clearence between the hands and the dough or table.

• Set grips normal to the pin, preventing them from just flipping down.

• Taper the ends of the pin to keep it from creasing the dough.

• Taper the ends of the grips to make them more comfortable, and consistend with the shape of the barrel.

SPORTLINE PEDOMETER QUESTIONAIRE AND PERSONAMichael Bunn & Daniel Winegar, 30 Jan 2012

Design Intent:IMPROVE THE SPORTLINE THINQ PEDOMETER USER EXPERIENCE

Tara:Female23 years old

Part-time student

User Testing

User attempts to accomplishes these tasks: (1) set weight to 150 pounds, (2) et stride to 28 inches, (3) change between kg/cm and lb/in, (4) set the clock, (5) measure length & time of 30 paces.

Record time it takes user to perform each task. Record cognitive comments and plot them on a UML map of the THINQ pedometer interface.

Relevant Quotes: Inference: Reaction:

“It’s annoying how you never know what is going to come up next.”

The functions and settings feel like they are buried in a digital nebula, and they don’t feel readily accessible.

Have a display screen and a setup screen and no others.

“I can’t find where the setting I need is!”

“It only goes up and I don’t even weight 120.”

Buttons are not working well to perform a scroll-like task.

Areas of user intuition to leverage: stopwatch button, and setting a watch.

1 button for stopwatch and resetting. 1 analog watch wheel to scroll, and navigate setup screen.

“I’m going to kill myself.” (Repeatedly pressing the button to reset weight.)

“Is the button even clicking?”

“The buttons never do what they say they do. You just have to try all of them.”

The buttons do too many non-intuitive tasks.

“The stopwatch is just like a normal one.” Stopwatches and setting clocks

are established paradigms.“The clock is like a car clock.”

“I’d have to put it in my bra strap when I run.”

The credit card shape is dependent on somewhere to put it on the person.

Have a way to fasten it to the person.“Can I put it in my backpack during

the day? Sometimes I wouldn’t have pockets to put it in.

Relevent Comments:

The vast majority of negative comments pointed out that pulling out the wheel is not intuitive. They just didn’t think about it even if they had used analog watches before.

Inference:

The users were in a digital paradigm, while trying to complete their tasks. We were asking them to operate in an analog paradigm to pull out the wheel to two different levels.

In the digital paradigm, they also felt the need to press a button after entering a value.

Reaction:

• Use a slider to toggle between the home screen and the settings screen.

• In the settings screen, use the button to toggle between scrolling mode and scrolling value.

• Do not have the wheel pop out as a function.

1Relevent Comments:

Users said they weren’t sure how to reset the stopwatch and other data, but their first inclination was to hold the button down.

Again, users though for a moment on what to do, but instinctively pressed the button.

Users questioned whether they needed to enter both a walking and running stride. All defaulted to entering a walking stride (correct).

Inference:

Even without instructions or direction, the users were able to intuitively know how to accomplish their setup tasks.

THINQ Pedometer

Tara

Reaction:

• Now that the interface can be used intuitively by Tara, the persona, design a pedometer to match her aesthetic appeal using the decided controls.

• There are no sleek digital app screen on Tara’s Pinterest. For her to like an object it has to offer something; charm, history, style, meaning.

• According to her day chart, she’ll primariliy use a pedometer with her daily clothes, and not as a piece of sports equipment.
