OPPORTUNITY
Design a sturdy yet friendly looking automated cart that helps prevent tray and time loses in hospitals and other medical practicing environments.
The starting of ideation was finding the proportions that would fit multiple trays while not taking up too much space. Initially a stationary product would be the best choice.
IDEATION
In refinement the goal was to simplify the form more as well think about the little details. How would the doors open? What were interaction points? As well as think about CMF.
