For my Major Design Project I chose to develop a wearable footwear location tracker which aims to provide a sense of security for the families and guardians of individuals who may be suffering from a mental or physical disability. The product includes a sleek, minimalistic and innovative design which attaches to an individual’s footwear via a durable lacing system. To utilise current technologies the device includes a variety of 3D printed and laser-cut pieces, all with the aim of increasing the final products aesthetics and durability. The goal of my project is to create peace of mind for families and expand a currently largely untapped market.
