Some simple brainstorming
We would like to make a simple design that is aimed for 1-2 year old toddlers. So we thought about making building blocks shaped as cubes with illuminate color changing in regards to how high of a tower that is built or calculating how stable the tower is at the building moments.
With this in mind we said that the cubes doesn't have to be shaped as cubes but could be other shapes as well but we want to start with the cube shape building blocks.
Do toddlers enjoy breaking towers they have built and create massive havoc? Maybe, its a good question for what kind of material we will decide to build the blocks in.
Some sketches during brainstorming
Crit session questions
Formulate design ideals that guide your design?
Simple design, Easy to use, Colors, Safe, Fun, Eye catching, On/off switch.
We want the kid to explore what happens when they put the blocks in different ways.
Good examples to take inspirations from, bad examples what to avoid?
Interactive blocks with help of projector to project images.
Principle is good but too complicated with a projector for a child to play with, since the blocks has to be shaped in a special way and also has to be in front of the projector all the time.
Some aspects that you disagree on?
We had some disagreements on how the colors should change, we should test this.
Are there some technical challenges?
Making the blocks “feel” and interact with each other. How to charge it/change the batteries.
What kind of material should we use (plastics/rubber). How to illuminate in different colors.
