"People don't just use a product because of a great design, a great design helps them use the product"

- Viran Anuradha Dayaratne (UX Technical Architect)

This week the VOSCUU Novus group showcases some aspects of its designing process which aided the overall design success so far. 

One key aspect of the design is the actual physical product sketch. The sketch helps the team to visualize and confirm that all features highlighted so far are included and have the best aesthetic appearance. It is also important that the design meets the physical functional requirement of the electronic circuit embedded within it.

Below is the sketch of the physical product which would be the basis for the final computer-aided design.

Figure 1: The Physical Product Sketch

The sketch above shows the collar having a Bowden cable embedded within it to give mechanical strength to the collar and prevent the possibility of the collar being cut off the neck of the pet easily. There are a pair of cameras on either side of the collar to provide dual vision and a mechanical rotary passcode lock at the rear end of the collar. The lock is directly linked to the Bowden cable to complete the secure circle of the collar around the pet's neck. The lock can only be opened with the knowledge of the correct passcode.

The LED strip would be lined across the collar, and the material selected for the product would hold all components in place.

The team's marketing activities have been ongoing for some weeks and are gradually coming to an end. Findings from the survey would be shared in the coming weeks.
