Final Project
Overview
Until now it was quite a journey. I take a alot of time at the beginning to come up with an idea and when I finally did I decided to change it Yeah Me !!. so if you have time plz bring a cup of coffe and let's from the beginning
First Station (Camera Gimbal)
The problem:-
everyday in our lives we use our camera to take a picture or to record a videos it sound so easy ,but actually it's not, all of us suffer from poor quality, hand-shaking videos so in the field of videography we use a any sort of stablizer to make sure our footage come up with good quality.
Stablizer is mainly a device that seperate the operator movement from the camera movement, but there is some issues that we have to face using a stablizer
-
take alot of time and effort.
-
Delay in the responce time.
-
Cost a lot of money.
IDEA In Nutshell
So the idea was really simple why wouldn't I use the technology of Digital Fabrication to create a motorized camera stablizer
The idea consist of main two parts Mechanical Design & Hardware Design
Mechanical Design:Using Fusion360 and 3D printer
Hardware Design: Controller, 3Moters, IMU, battery
Second Station (Evaluation)
Idea Evaluation:-
I start evaluating the idea based on three main point
-
Are the problem big enough?
-
Are the stackholder aware of the problem and able to buy it?
-
if someone make the same idea Did it work?why?
it was a nice reasearch I came up with a lot of finding:-
1- The problem is really big as I think it's a lot of people aware of it, but some of them try to solve it using handheld tech or buy a gimbal that already exist in the market
2- The question have changed from How to make a stable footage in motion? To How to create content with good quality ? and that was another story, it wasn't about the gear you use it was about the content itself.
3-a lot of people doesn't aware of the technology of Digital Fabrication so the part in which I want to contribute to the community and make it possible for anyone to create his/her own gimbal using 3D printer wasn't fully fullfilled.
Third Station ( Design Thinking Process )
Trust the process:-
let's frame our work before we start it. From the previouse finding another idea came up to my mind How to simplify and spread the technology of Digital Fabrication?
with two idea in my mind it's time now to start our design thinking process, but first lets make sure to choose the right target audince
Empathy discussion guide for both ideas
Idea Filteration
In order to save time I must choose one idea before statring empathy with people I compare between the two ideas in the term of why would I like to do it ?
- In both the challenges are huge and I'll turn out with decent amount of knowledge, but I find that Simplifying Digital fabrication Technology has the most impact and a huge contribution to the community.
