Prototyping Book

This document summarizes the process taken by students Adam Little, Siddharth Muthyala & Eilidh Dickson to design a tangible user interface that allows users to see the environmental impact of the food they purchase. They went through brainstorming, prototyping, user testing, and refining their concept of a scale that compares the environmental metrics of different foods. Their final prototype used an Arduino, motors, and custom 3D printed parts to create an interactive scale that physically balances to show environmental data when different foods are placed on it.
