Week 19 - Invention, Intellectual property and Income
Dissemination plan
For AliveWood I have no commercial intentions, but mainly to use it as part of a class or excersice on an educational program that promotes hands-on learning and fabrication methods. In that case, I would need to use:
ATTRIBUTION-NONCOMMERCIAL-SHAREALIKE 4.0 INTERNATIONAL license.
You are free to:
Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format
Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material

Future possibilities
Enhanced Interactivity: Integration of more advanced sensors such as proximity sensors, accelerometers, and gyroscopes to provide a richer interactive experience.
Smart Home Integration: Incorporating connectivity features such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to allow AliveWood to interface with smart home ecosystems and be controlled via smartphone apps.
Customization and Personalization: Development of modular designs that allow users to customize and personalize their furniture according to their preferences and needs.
Expanded Material Use: Exploring the use of sustainable and innovative materials like bamboo, recycled plastics, or biodegradable composites to enhance environmental friendliness.
Pathways to Make Them Probable
Research and Development: Invest in R&D to explore new technologies and materials that can be integrated into the AliveWood design. Collaborate with universities and research institutions for cutting-edge advancements.
Prototyping and Testing: Develop multiple prototypes to test the feasibility of new features and materials. Conduct rigorous testing to ensure durability, functionality, and user satisfaction.
Partnerships and Collaborations: Partner with technology companies, smart home product developers, and material suppliers to leverage their expertise and resources.
User Feedback and Iteration: Continuously gather feedback from users and incorporate their suggestions into future iterations of the product. Conduct surveys, focus groups, and beta testing programs.
Sustainability Initiatives: Focus on sustainable design practices and obtain certifications for eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient technologies.
