Intro Global Warming Climate change Oil depleted – 2017 Solar powered car
Ergonomic Human factors – human habits Indicator switch – when we place our hands on the steering wheel, we often use our middle finger to lift the switch – the indicator switch to switch from solar power to electricity will be placed on the right side of the steering wheel Seats – minimize stress
Gibson’s Affordance Theory Car run on both electricity and solar power Time Location – Indoor – charging AC power – Outdoor – store solar energy to generate energy Automatic function on the lever, so the car switches from running on solar power during the day, and electricity during the night.
Gestalt Laws of Pattern Perception Proximity – placement of the indicator switch Similarity – look of the car - still looks like average cars – practical and economical
Aesthetic View Different packages targeted at different age groups – basic package – Sport package – luxury package
