About Sleeve Kit de travail à distance

Sleeve est un kit de travail à distance conçu pour les voyageurs qui travaillent en déplacement. Le kit comprend trois modules qui se fixent à un ordinateur portable de 13 pouces. Le module de productivité ajoute un écran tactile intégré à un capot en aluminium usiné doté d'une charnière à 180 degrés, offrant ainsi un second écran sans moniteur séparé. Le module de confort surélève la base de l'ordinateur portable de 50 millimètres pour un angle de travail plus confortable. Le module de rangement propose des poches élastiques, dont l'une accueille un système de charge sans fil. Ensemble, ces modules allègent la charge à transporter en voyage.

Unique Properties: The Sleeve is a laptop accessory for travelers that includes a productivity screen extending beyond your device, providing a better work experience. This screen serves as an alternative to dual screen monitor systems, allowing you to pack lighter while traveling.

These features enable a more productive and comfortable work experience on-the-go.

Production Technology: The productivity module of the Sleeve features a touch display screen encased in a CNC milled aluminum cover with a 180-degree hinge for easy opening and rotation. The incline of the comfort module is designed with a stamp cut plastic, a foam-padded extension is added for incline support. The organization module includes elastic pockets, one of which is designed to hold a wireless charging system.
Design Challenge: Developing a product for the emerging work and vacation space posed several challenges. Firstly, the culture of digital nomads is relatively new, making it important to gain a clear understanding of the unique problems and perspectives within this space. Additionally, the challenge of balancing a seamless tech product with a vacation vibe required extensive research and creative ideation to create a product that meets these unique needs
Research: I conducted a research study on the workcation experiences of 14 individuals and identified three primary challenges they faced: difficulty organizing work materials while traveling, discomfort when working in cafes not designed for work, and distraction caused by the vacation atmosphere. To address these issues, I examined existing solutions in these areas and used them as a basis for my own ideation.
Inspiration: Sleeve is a comprehensive workstation kit designed for travelers who work remotely. With the rise of remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an increasing number of travelers who work while on the go. Sleeve provides a solution to make work and travel trips more comfortable, productive, and organized for these travelers
Project Duration: This project was done in 2 months starting in March 2022 in San Francisco, Bay Area.
Operation Flow: Installing the Sleeve is easy - remove the tape and stick the modules to your laptop. Double-tap the touch display to turn it on and use it as a double screen monitor. For the comfort module, place your laptop on it and lift up the incline. For the organizing module, place things for organizing and on-the-go charging in the elastic pockets.
