1. What is Urmouse? Urmouse is a comfortable mouse/grip/cover that an be used for peripheral usage in order to provide a more comfortable user experience. 2. What kind of test would you develop to evaluate the success of your design work? Since this is a mold we would like to test its durability by doing a drop test and seeinghow well it will hold together. We will also test its composition to make sure it is made of high standard material.
3.What kind of tests do engineers use to test product materials for tensile strength, fatigue, and hardness? Chemical engineers would use chemicals to structure our product with the perfect amount of elements in order to make it durable and sustainable.
4. Why do you think product testing typically includes looking at aesthetics, ergonomics, safety, and durability? Since our product is just a mold its aesthetics can’t go as far has changing its color. However the ergonomics shouldn’t be that dangerous, however the chemical engineers are part of that more difficult and dangerous area of work. The product will be safe to use and durable so you won’t have to worry about buying another one since it can last a really long time.
5. How can assessing the way in which you went about your work help evaluate your own design work? The tests show how it will work under conditions, and we can address the problems we have.
6. What materials make up your product? Why did you choose these? Are they sufficient? We used silicon and hard plastic. We chose these materials for comfort, and durability. They are sufficient because they can be comfortable and be durable for daily use. It is uncertain how the mouse would handle for the tests. 7. Why this type of aesthetic design We went for a simple but effective design, so there wouldn't be too many things for the customer to worry about, but enough to satisfy them.
8. Explain the ergonomics of your product. The main focus of the mouse is to have the ergonomics fit to their hand, so however the person’s hand is, the mouse will be formed to their hand.
9. What kind of durability do you think your product has, how does that impact cost and performance? We believe that the product has incredible durability since its a mold so it shouldn’t be able to shatter if dropped however, dropping it may cause it to lose its original shape. This impacts the cost because of its high standard material and because its not weak like other material may be like.
10. Is it child friendly? Yes! Urmouse offers a specially designed mouse for kids!
