- Design Challenge
- Designing a smart way to organize the different functional parts together. Help users quickly switch the mode between video shooting and photo shooting without installing extra equipment.
- Research
- In the world, over 150 million people are doing self-media, by 2025 it would increase 137 million people in self-media population, the market are still rapidly growing.The existing product doesn't satisfy the customers. It has terrible usability and not ergonomic to hold the regular camera when users take a selfie or video shooting themselves. Suppose users want to shoot high-quality vlog videos. They have to buy many different types of equipment, such as an external microphone, camera handle, and video light, to improve the performance and usability. The camera would lose portability after installing extra equipment.
First, I researched the existing products on market and then did user research to find out the pain points of using the current product. Pain points to help me develop the design insights. Based on the insights to do ideation sketch. Find out the possible design solution and build the 3D model. Made a prototype to test the size and basic function. - Inspiration
