18. Invention, Intellectual Property and Business Models¶
in this week we will focus on preparing a presentation for our final project, we should create a video and slides, and the Task for this week as follow.
- Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project.
- Prepare drafts of your summary slide (presentation.png, 1920x1080) and video clip (presentation.mp4, 1080p HTML5, < ~minute, < ~10 MB) and put them in your root directory
Invention¶
The Line (the final project’s name) is an Interactive playboard. I have been always thinking about projects that can mix Arab art with digital fabrication so the Fab Academy has been the chance to develop a project that integrates design, fabrication, and electronics, something that I had never done before.
The design is the development of my own ideas, none of the processes or knowledge involved in this project can be considered an invention of mine. I have built my project upon existing knowledge and information.
However, it is the harmonious combination of all this knowledge that makes The line (my project) an original product is not a copy of a previous design, so I consider then, although the processes for its fabrication and programming are not originally mined I’m only collect and manage the knowledge that I have search about it to make it work to my final Idea, so I would like to be mentioned, attributed and cited as its author.

Dissemination plan¶
Dissemination
On my Final Project page, you can find all the details about my project, how I came up with the idea, how I designed it, and cut it what the materials and fabrication machines I’m using, I explain with details about electronic parts what components I use and why I use it I’ve shared all the steps, the mistakes, and how I fix it and in the end I mention the materials stores.
Income
In the beginning, I did not think about my project as a commercial way but as an interactive puzzle, it will be a great business start especially if I add a feature you can request your own puzzle picture you want I will the final Product.
Future Probabilities I want to add some components like LCD and some sounds to make it more interactive and funnier too, For the body, I think if I make it smaller and decrease the pieces of the puzzle it will be better and easy to move.
