Week 12 - Prototype Construction Finished

To complete the Proof of Concept Prototype I needed to move the reed switches (located under the protective yellow foam in the first image) from where the crosses are to where they are now. This allows the magnets on the persona figurines to activate the reed switches signifying to the Levi-Mate that that person is 'Working'.

Reed switches moved from the crosses to their correct positions.

The completed Proof of Concept Prototype.

Demonstration of the Proof of Concept Prototype.
This proof of concept prototype demonstrates very accurately, how the Levi-Mate would opperate in a real life setting. Even though we didn't end up using real flames this time around the intention is very clearly communicated. This is the first time that I have used prototyping to this extent and I have found it extremely beneficial to my learning. This it something that I hope to make more time for in future projects.
