Ergonomic Bottle Opener
Role: Product Designer
Skills: Design Sketching, Ergonomics Research, User Research, Rapid Prototyping, CAD (Fusion 360)
Overview: Created ergonomic bottle opener using Hierarchical Task Analysis and User Testing
Hierarchical Task Analysis
In order to design a force-efficient, ergonomic bottle opener, I first conducted a Hierarchical Task Analysis and a subsequent Anthropometric Features Table of the standard bottle opener to understand the forces necessary for each step.
Below is my Hierarchical Task Analysis, Anthropometric Features Table, and Force Sketch using the standard bottle opener.
Sketches for Improved Design
Below is a gallery of low and high fidelity design sketches for a bottle opener that would be more force-efficient than the model analyzed.
