Final Project¶
Project Name: FacePunch¶
Project Introduction¶
Extended use of the mouse with my right hand caused frequent wrist pain. Therefore, I hope to do some exercises on my hands, such as: when I touch something, it can glow and be accompanied by beautiful music. In fact, this is very much like a music game.
At the beginning, I didn’t have any exciting ideas about the product form. I can guess that this is something that uses buttons to control lighting and music. I am not very good at hand drawing, so I used an AI website that generates images based text to create simple product renderings (like a keyboard).
Three months later, I had a new inspiration and referred to the intelligent boxing trainer. When you hit the product with your hand, there will be music and lighting. If you also want to exercise concentration, you can set the lights to randomly light up, and your hands and brain can quickly react to hit the glowing area, and then the project will make a sound.
The styling of my project has also undergone significant changes this time, and I hope to replace the boxing pad with a human face design. This is very interesting. Imagine if you hit someone you hate hard, it must be very relaxing.
Although this project is a personal project related to my interests, I believe it has great commercial value. Making the profile picture of your disliked boss or ex into something that can be hit is definitely a project that makes people scream and like it.Alternatively, it can be made into a public device for releasing stress and displayed in art/science museums.
this project has two modes:
1.Decompression mode,where different positions of the project are struck to release different sounds(Screaming, laughing, crying…), and lights are displayed while striking.
2:Training mode, like a music game, where when the light is on, you must quickly hit that position. If you react quickly and hit the correct position, It will play music clips. So when you hit the project correctly continuously, you will play a smooth piece of music.
Project Sketch¶
I haven’t confirmed the specific design sketch yet, but I do know that there are some red lumps or mosquitoes on this face, so you can boldly hit it.
