Process

Design

Due to time, and tech constraints the design had a few modifications as a now solution, with a future vision to have a wireless design.

This design has a flat touch surface with a haptic response when a button is selected, for this phase we went with a mechanical button, specifically this type of button so it provides feedback to the user that they’ve successfully selected this button.

Building a Working Prototype

With multiple revisions & back and forth with editing CAD files, I created a documentation that shares the CMF specs and the final design changes that have been made.
