11. Drop Test The most challenging process of
this project was the “Drop Test.”
Due to the pyramid forms on the
front, it could not pass any drop
tests. We needed to reevaluate.
Tempered Glass Failed.
Gained weight.
Polycarbonate Failed.
60”
Polycarbonate Not as clear as glass.
+ ABS Could not make an injection
mold as sharp as edges of dia-
mond cut.
Plan B asked to re-design and refor-
mulate to meet the engenerr-
ing standards
deemed not acceptable.
Sinko, Tokyo We decided to keep
investigating highly skilled
mold injection companies.
With the help of LG Japan, we
found out SINKO, would be the
best mold injection company.
They made samples with the
Failures of The Drop Test
data provided. The sample
were strong enough to pass
the drop test this time around.
The edges of the new samples
were as sharp and clean as the
cuts of diamond. In addition,
it was crystal clear. We met all
objectives.

In-Vehicle Tasks:
Audio & Climate Controls
Given recognition by HFES (Human Factors &
Ergonomics Society) at its annual meeting in San
Francisco Sept 2010 and published
Clustered small buttons require driver’s cognitive and visual
load. In 2004, GM issued a public statement which suggests
that driver distraction contributes to 25% of crashes. For this
reason, require new intercation of automobile

When putting a phone into a charger, then its
display is on and when taking out a phone from
the charger, then its display is off.
Adopted this type of interaction to a lighting
project.

reminded me of flowers.
