Major Project - extended diving snorkel with quick change cylinder.
The product combines a snorkel with a pressurised cylinder of air. the aim is to provide people a little time submerged under the water to explore and immerse themselves in the environment. it has been designed to minimise down time and give the best possible user experience possible.
This was my primary project during my final year at university, the project was set to covers all areas of the design process from research through to prototyping, development and the steps necessary to the project to manufacture.
To understand and get a grasp on the market, consumers and product needs I used questionnaires, focus groups, and interviews. From my research I could start coming up with concepts and begin testing ergonomics.
Due to the nature of the product and high component cost, testing of functioning prototypes was not possible.
