A Taxonomy of Mechanical ObjectsIn interface class, we've been examining mechanical objects, breaking them down into their components, and then "translating" these components into our own designs, digital or otherwise. We each examined five objects, making a "taxonomy" of their features and functions. My objects were a wind-up toy, a cigar cutter, a drywall cutter, a metronome, and a mini Leatherman (pdf 743k). We're now supposed to take what we've learned here and, along with some mood boards we're working on now, apply them to a scheduling application next week.
