The first attached image is the original concept before starting the process of refinement and the second image is the current model.
Through the process of refinement the form of my product has evolved drastically.
This includes the development of snap connected ear pieces rather than the original click-in design to give the design flexibility and aid in size manipulation.
The introduction of a gel bed for the EEG monitors is also a significant development. This will guarantee that the monitors come in direct contact with the wearer's head, ensuring an accurate read is achieved.
The colour scheme has also been manipulated to exude the feeling of relaxation, which is integral to a product designed to be used during sleep.
In addition to this, an organic pattern has been introduced to the facade of the headband in order to create a dreamy aesthetic.
Whilst not evident in the images, the current model also features felt covers for the inside of the ear pieces to cover up the interface panel and the speaker in order to increase comfort.
The device is also designed with symmetry in mind - this will allow the user to wear the product either with the speaker in the left ear or right ear, depending on their preference. To allow for this the ear pieces can easily be alternated from the left and right bracket. This aspect of the design will be particularly handy for consumers travelling on planes as they can situate the ear piece with the "Sleep Stage" display screen towards the aisle, so that air-stewards can see the message displayed no matter where the user is seated.
Currently, I am satisfied with the refinements made thus far and endeavour to improve all aspects of the product, ultimately aiming to achieve a sleeker, less bulky and more comfortable style.
