Foldable Bike Helmet
For the Human Factors course, we were asked to pick a product to be redesigned with respect to Human Factors. So, once again I chose a bike accessory to be redesigned, the bike helmet. Here we started a journey of research around the bike helmets, their designs, dimensions, components and materials. Looked into the anthropometric data of Human Heads and got feedback from regular cyclists of a wide spectrum of ages and backgrounds. After collecting all the data and considering the design problems that face the users, I chose to deal with the storage and sizing problems the users face when arriving somewhere or when using them. Using Origami simulation as well and going through several iterations I reached the best fit concept for such design problem.
