I began this project thinking about current controls which feel overly complicated for the type of function that they provide. Initially i have always had a major issue with payment consoles in grocery stores. The flow and structure of them seems overly unnecessary for the type of task you are trying to achieve. But it seemed more like a software and information architecture problem than a control problem. Similarly intercoms to residential or office buildings also provided a sense of distress for me. They felt overly structured and not intuitive, sometimes simply presenting too many options or not enough.Project - A1 Controls

Students will design a new control that greatly improves the interaction of a
selected product.
Design issues: Problem selection, user intent, context of use, feedforward,
feedback. Deliverables: Deliverables: Mounted poster and labeled CD with
pdf file.

Final

Concepts:Project - A1 Controls

This is the final result of the project. As you can see the final solution is based on developing a touch screen navigational system that allows multiple types of browsing for tenants of a specific building.
