Synopsis

The objective of the project was to design a helmet that catered to typical needs of working and collegiate Indian women. Understanding the user psyche and behaviour was an important part of the research phase. The data gathered from the research was thoroughly analysed and the opportunity areas were mapped. Ideas were conceptualised through sketching ( on paper and digitally), quick mock-ups, and 3-D visualisation. The shortlisted designs were then developed and visualised in the user context scenario.
