Using the spherical wheel concept. I’ve done a proof of concept for the board using acrylic and the spherical drive system with a BB8. However, it is too heavy for the motor to drive the acrylic. Will re-do the mock up with cardboard.

@ Adonis Toh

Conducted a generic survey on Normal people’s perception of People with Disabilities(PWD), how open they are towards PWDs and what are the issues they face in order to communicate with PWDs.

Key Responses:

Normal people believe that PWDs are people who have difficulties living a normal life.

More than 90% are open and approachable towards PWDs.

71% are worried of offending PWDs because of their insensitivity.

95% Read more →

Feedback from the panel:

Cryptic communication may include making it more approachable for others to communicate with you.

Focus on what the users need and want Read more →

On what the users need and want - this may be a old paradigm. for a future paradigm you must understand their frustrations and short comings and imagineer a product that they will happily use... you need to break the bubble and move forward. As for nee users and old users you can always have a 'live' tutor on your mobile phone to guide a new person... For self conscious people this could be the avenue for them to brighten up and leave their inhibition...

• Netflix might have copyright issues with me using their assets as part of my FYP, thus might be a problem when I put this project in my portfolio. Since there is a Singapore Netflix office he suggested for me to pitch it to Netflix. However, seems supportive of me combining two types of service – online shopping Read more →

I hope your meeting with Jackson went well. I think we should pitch it to Netflix and allow them to use it in your FYP. The concept is not ripe enough now to show though. Maybe in January... I think you are doing well. Remember you have to break out of your knowledge/experience base and imagine a new paradigm... Slowly you will get the confidence to do it every time. Now I can hand hold you through...
