I wanted to sketch some ideas and concepts, this page will include my ideas and a bit about them
I lost my sketchbook! So I had to us MS Paint lol, but I wanted to design the actual product that I will use in my prototype and advertisements, I want a camcorder meets minimalist design, one that is properly ventilated, beautiful and well thought out. The top would be it’s own simple ui, made to check on, turn on and calibrate the camera, I decided to do a Figma Draft, a simple yet refined draft.
I mean, it’s rough yeah, but cmon. We’re at the foundation, Once i’ve done some 3D Sketches and then move onto to blender, But I didn’t look at some inspiration, So I browsed online and found some cameras, camcorders, camera stands etc, and took them for inspiration
With this, I created a Sketch in 3D, using MSPaint still don’t worry, and I love how it looks!
If you wondering what the buttons at the top will be, it’ll act as a physical way to turn on/off the camera, activate bluetooth, and I forgot to sketch it, but there will be a 4 way arrow button to navigate the screen on top, the screen will act as a debug menu, allowing you to change settings, connect to devices, etc. I want the design of it to be simple, maybe a modern version of the original gameboy screen
So I showed my idea to Kyle and he liked it but he was worried about the bulkiness and lack of portability of it, which is a great point, I’d hate to move 4 big camera stands when I move office or something, So instead he suggested taking some inspiration from the google nest camera
And for someone like me who loves product design, This is so cool, I really love the look of it, and It got me really thinking about my idea, I feel again I’m going a bit overboard, So I’m going refine the idea, Instead it’ll be one camera/projector, which will project the UI and such in multiple different screen sizes and resolutions, When creating prototypes I will want it to be 60hz potentially, and a sensor bar similar to the Wii and Kinect that will track the users movements and control the UI, I want it to act as an apple vision pro or spatialised computer essentially doing the feature the vision pro does with gaming in mind, for that I want to design similar VR controllers that serves two functions
I still can’t find my sketchbook which is annoying so I sketched it out on MSpaint, I showed what this could look like in an office.
But I labelled and annotated what each component is and how it would work essentially, I feel this works way better, and is more convenient which is the point of the project
