Project two: - Presentation. Research. Concepts













Concept - redesigning the toilet to be more accessible to other users, like small children and the elderly, by installing handle support bars, and automatic-slide-step-for-small-children.

Creating a positive experience for the user, by the body sensor will activate ventilation, switching on the light, and dispensing air-refreshener for odour control.

Using solar energy storing capability.


The issue of many people in developing countries don't have proper access to sanitation toilet. Releasing body waste to rivers, which are the only water source for drinking, will contaminate the water/river system, which generate harmful bacteria, and causing illness in people, especially children are the major fatal sufferers.

Tutor Scott - the solution is not cost-effective, not innovative as the proposed solutions are existing and are no original. Look at existing designs and solutions, created a better product to this. Product will also need a system, so create sustainable system for the product. Look into the local ecosystem, such as India, what do they have, that can be sourced and locally generate the system and product.

Reflection
- required a sustainable system for the product. Concept should focus on a particular issue, e.g. safety and privacy for women; toilet availability; waste disposal system; waste conversion to fertiliser.
- solution of cost-effective ways.
- more research.
- re-develop the concept.
