Shoe Context

As my shoe looks like normal wedges it was a biut more easier to find a photo that I can manipulate. I updated the show by getting rid of the knee covers and just focused on the main shoe.

I sort of reduced the platform but widened the holes on the heels. The shoes light up in neon which will reflect off of the glass spheres on the top of the shoe, creating some laser effects. It's great for going out or parties and gives that futuristic look.

Headset and Scanner Context

I wanted the scanner involved with the headset in my context sheet. I wanted to show it in use and look like an advert at the same time in a magazine. I found a photo of office workers online and edited the main man to show he is using the headset.

The main man is a green hologram coming from the scanner on the table. The waves (which won't been seen of course) is transmitted from the user wearing the headphones at home. They can see everything with their visors and a small camera fitted to the top of the scanner.

BackPack UPDATE

I have recently updated my backpack  and the style before was not what I was aiming at. I used the technique for the glass sphere for the casings of the bag. I also found a texture online for the inside of my bag to get that cushion look.

The secured entry of thumb Identification is still the same style that I made on Illustrator.

Texture for the inside cushion was used from this site:

Overall I am pleased with this outcome, a lot more better than the previous design.

Front Back and Side view - Bike

I tried to design all views of the bike, however, I'm not that good at different perspectives on vehicles but I have done as much as I can on Photoshop. If I knew how to work Maya, I'm sure it would look a lot more better, but I do not have the time for learning from scratch on the new program.

I took reference of the front view of the bike from the BMW that I was looking at. I made the wheels more thicker as spheres made it look more out of place.

context - head set

The scanner is placed on the table, showing the hologram of the person wearing the head phones. I tried to find a head to fit my headphones but couldn't find a suitable pose. I decided to use a 3D model of the head that i have found online portraying the head phones and the signal.

Headset

I have finished my last future products. I have designed a headset with visor and a scanner for scanning in the body and projecting a hologram of that person wearing the headset. The scanner can only recognise the person wearing the headset with voice recognition for voice commands, so it's a personal product.

design of product
I wanted the headset to stand out so I used a golden metal colour and a shimmer gradient for the visor. Once the user scans in their body after standing in front of the scanner, it can then be used in college or work. The user can attach the scanner on their desk in work or college, which will project a hologram of their selves. For clothes, the user can connect the scanner using a micro USB to laptop and upload images of their work tops and trousers, so when the hologram appears, it will be dressed in uniform. It will have a safety feature, so that users cannot upload explicit content, e.g. no clothes. 

scanner

This is used for absents. If the person cannot attend work or uni as they are ill or any situation, the person will put on the headphones and turn it on by a simple on/off button. In the screen it will ask where the user would like to be: "Work or Education building?". The user will respond with either of those choices. This will wake up the scanner and project a hologram of the user with their uniforms or casual clothes on. Similar to the occulus rift, the user can see whats happening in the work place or college and can work or study. This can only be used up to a certain amount of times, so it can stop truants. If the user has a known illness that might require a number of days off to the workplace or education building, then the selected number can be increased by the head of department. If the usage is used up, the user can ask their boss or head to restart the counter. This can keep an eye on who is attending and can improve attendance.

Finished Bike

I have just finished the side view of the bike. I've done it in two styles, one style that is just plain graphics. Another style that shows the panels.

Flat graphics

Representing panels


The bikes colour will be black and blue. The blue can glow in the dark so it'll be easier for other motorists to see. There will be a clear panel in the back that can see the back wheel.

The coil in the middle separates the bike so it's easy turning along with the side handles.

The wheels will be oval rather than the ordinary shape so it can gain a lot of speed and have that magnet technology like the "BB8" toy droid. The magnets will be attached in the top panels in the front and the side at the back/
