Design Methods and Technological Project
The aim of this assessment is to develop a product from inception through to completion. This was done by researching into standards and patients, completing market research and then creating a prototype.
The product I developed was a barcode scanner that people could use while shopping to calculate the total number of calories and other nutritional information of the food they were buying. While doing research it was clear that while people knew the importance of eating healthily, many people lacked the knowledge to do so. While researching into patients I realised this was an original idea.
The concept and technical drawings were created using Auto Inventor while the interface prototype was created using Adobe Photoshop while the workings were created using Adobe Flash and ActionScript 3.0
The interface allowed the user to select how many people they were shopping for and how long the food was going to last them. The barcode scanner then added up all the calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat and sugar and displayed them on an easy to understand graph. It also allowed the user to make the scanner avoid certain foods in case the user is a vegetarian or allergic to any foods.
