Haptic Ball Development

After deciding one a certain concept to develop we deconstructed the purpose of the product and how we can enhance it's usability. At our group meeting we brainstormed way to improve the product and clarify the direction is to be going in.

The initial form of the product

We determined that the main aim of the product was to allow users to communicate through touch. To transmit and receive haptic feedback. To feel a 'presence' of their geographically distant loved one. The physical form of the product is most likely going to stay spherical as it the easiest to handle, for maybe differently abled users.
