Speculative Object [prototype & presentation]

Today was our last class to finalise our speculative object prototype and write our presentation for next week. During the week we began brainstorming dot points for our presentation and Elliot created the vest for our object. We decided our model would be Ben. Below is Elliot adjusting the vest to him, ready for next week.

After the vest was complete, we began sketching up ideas for the central core component of the vest which will harness and store energy. We created a few iterations and settled on a semi-circle sensor plate with a circular orange central core. This speculative object is based on our first depiction of the social aspects of our OneWorld society, in particular our multi-purpose garment concept.

After our sketches, we began creating refined illustrations on the computer for our presentation. This gave us a better idea of how the central core and sensor pad will sit on the vest and how it will function. For the rest of class, we began to finalise and organise our speech for our presentation and synthesised our speculative object concept. We plan to meet next Tuesday to finalise our prototype and speech and to prepare for our presentation.
