Summary And Documentations<\/h2>\n
The following text are points summarizing from the interview:<\/p>\n
Most of our conversation with Kim focused on her love for painting and playing video games on her computer. From these conversations we learned Kim has limited motion in her right arm, she cannot bend\u00a0her elbow and her hand can only grasp lightly but could not release. Due to these restraints, Kim heavily depends on her left hand when painting and playing video games. Kim and her father were excited by the potential to create a device that can help her use her right hand again. However, after learning about Kim’s extensive physical therapy journey to try and regain motor control over her right hand, we pivoted from that idea. Instead, we looked at the potential to create a device to help Kim use her left hand more efficiently and decrease Kim’s dependence on others when doing her hobbies.<\/p>\n
Kim used to be righthanded but she is skilled with her left hand in craft, typing and writing, through our observation during the second Interview.

Discussions and Ideation Reviews<\/h2>\n
Kim enjoys spending her free time playing video games on her tablet and computer. When we learned Kim has limited motor control over her right hand we were inquisitive about her experience using a keyboard with one hand. The layout of the keyboard is designed for users to use with two hands. We thought there was potential to create a personalized keyboard for Kim to use when playing video games on the computer. This keyboard would have a layout specialized for only using your left hand and would only include keys that Kim uses when gaming. In the second interview, we pitched this design to Kim to gauge whether she would want or use this device. After pitching the specialized keyboard to Kim we learned that she doesn’t really use the keys when gaming on her computer since her computer is touch screen. She was still interested in the concept and the potential of using keys rather than touch screen.<\/p>\n
The second design was inspired by Kim’s passion for painting. Kim described how much she enjoys painting in her art class and even demonstrated painting to us during the second interview. From our observation, Kim needs assistance setting up the painting supplies, changing out the water to clean the brushes, and cleaning up the supplies. Kim also struggles with cleaning the brushes and keeping the supplies secure since she can only use one hand. After observing these challenges Kim faces when painting, we began to devise ways we could mitigate them. We developed some ideas to create an electronic paint pallet that could be controlled by Kim with a set of buttons. The pallet can be rotated by Kim using a joystick(the pallet has LEDs next to each crevice that light up has it is being turned). The pallet can expel dirty water and refill with clean water from a tank of water stored within the device. The pallet has holes to attach each paint tube underneath and seal the paint. Kim can control how much paint is dispensed onto the pallet using the set of control buttons. When Kim rotates the pallet using the joystick and chooses the paint tube she wants to dispense(using the joystick and the selection is indicated by which LED lights up) she presses a button to confirm the selection. Once she confirms the selection, the desired paint is dispensed into the pallet. These are just some of the original features we came up with to assist Kim while painting. There is potential to come up with other ways to make painting a more independent task for Kim.<\/p>\n
