| dc.description.abstract | This research project has a focus on the redesign of a user friendly mobile X- ray machine and a suspension for the connected detector. User friendliness is a trend of industrial design and is also a main goal of redesign. Based on user- centered design principles combined with other methods the author is trying to inquire that what the needs of end user might be, what the problems of existing product are, how to satisfy these needs and finally how to solve these problems. Through iterating design and test process the author sought the best result as well as a worthy process that can be applied in similar project.
The report is divided into six sections through raising question, analyzing and solving problems respectively. The main contents are following:
The first section: to introduce research question, goal, motivation and different methods applied in paper.
The second section: to give a brief relate of definition and principle of user centered design and present the definitions of end user, emotional design and user friendliness.
The third section: to apply different study methods for the project and problem summarization.
The fourth section: to search and analyze the need of end users and the problems of the existing product. The end user and designer together summarize the criterion of new product which makes the key words for design principle used in this process.
The fifth section: to introduce the process of product development including concept design, concept comparison, three-dimensional models, test model and final design.
The last section: to briefly relate reflection and conclusion which completes in are nine steps concerning the process of redesign | en_US |
