Parametric design for wearable consumer electronics

Description

This thesis deals with the design of a personalised parametric product in the field of consumer electronics. Using a pair of headphones as an example, it explores the creative process of designing a product that is variable in shape and appearance. In contrast to classical product design, there is no fixed shape, but a logic of shape. This is tested on different users with personalised headphones. This opens up new perspectives of personalisation, changing geometries and thus new requirements for the purchase process, which is also designed, as well as for the brand and its aesthetic identity. Of particular interest is the implementation of a technical package in a product that varies in shape and size. In addition to the exploration of different formal logics, the use of digital scanning and production methods, as well as the use of mono-material, should be highlighted. The work was supervised by Studio F. A. Porsche.
