My MAD Portfolio
Month
We made a window into the viewer’s brain, literally. We wanted to make a way to show emotions and stresses in a physical tangible object. We made a window with a storm projected onto it. The storm represents your stresses and angers and when you are mindful and calm these emotions the storm also calms.
This was a long project, but, it went fast! I’m glad to say its at an end but I definitely had some fun making this with the group, all of whom I didn’t know at all before this project started. A lot went wrong and could be better but overall I am happy with the outcome.
We also ended up winning the Spark Best Project Award!
I was tasked with interrogating an inanimate physical object through creative means. I was also told this should have some sentimental value to me. I decided to interrogate a rose quartz crystal that my great grandad gave to me before he died. I turned a picture of this:

Our work was predominately developed due to our research into dangerous conditions and testimony from experienced firefighters. We found convincing evidence from multiple countries that there was an existence of issues that our product could help to prevent, including in many cases, the loss of life.
We completed a detailed analysis of product development from existing technology to start-up ventures such as ourselves working in the market space. This lead to a decent understanding of the targeted markets. We used a T.O.W.S. analysis to outline the various problems, opportunities, and strengths. We confirmed that there is definitively an open space for our product in the current market.
Based on our research and evaluation of the market space and advantages of our product we concluded that it was worthwhile continuing development of our product. The fire department has agreed to consider our proposal to trial our product. Our current prototype proves that such a device is feasible. The next step is making it a consumer-ready product.
