Week 03 — Cardboard Prototyping

Date range: Feb 3 – Feb 9

1) Summary

  • ✅ Built rough physical mockups using cardboard
  • ✅ Tested device size, keyboard placement, and screen positioning
  • ✅ Identified ergonomics issues
  • ✅ Adjusted proportions for comfort

2) What I did

Prototyping

  • Cardboard mockups — Built rough physical prototypes to test form factor in hand.
  • Testing ergonomics — Evaluated device size, keyboard placement, and screen positioning for comfort and usability.
  • Iterating proportions — Adjusted dimensions based on feedback from holding and using prototypes.

3) Key findings

  • Device should be more compact than initially sketched
  • Keyboard placement affects typing comfort significantly
  • Screen height and viewing angle need careful consideration
