We live in a time where we can use data-driven science and live data technology collection. We do not have to trust different sources or opinions to check our health status. And It's only through the close measurement of our actions that we can realize the possibilities of change.Once we have the data, we can look for solutions to problems. This is how the potential dashboard will look, if you go online and check out the fidgets you made through locus. It would be able to tell you when you are more productive during the day so you can develop those boring tasks then! Also you emotional stability based on the time per click you make as well as frequency.

This is how the Locus website would look, in a way it showcases locus in a fun non pretentious way.

As part of my design research after I coded my app I user tested fidget.xyz I realized people used it as a meditation tool to avoid impulsive behaviors.

#design research #usertesting #fidget.xyz #fidgettofocus #taps #belentenoriothesis #remind #UX #UI #digital product design

I asked myself, could fidgeting be a tool to measure emotional state as well as productivity? What could this data tell you about who you are? What about our circadian rhythms? Could we modify our day to day based on what our body is telling us?

There are different spectrum and either stimulants or environments can modify people's reactions. Some people don't even know they have ADD / ADHD. Why not take this opportunity and develop a smart object following the taxonomy of our thumbs movement?

This is how Locus was born.

Wanting to expand beyond Didgets, I redirected my focus onto one of the biggest distractions in today's world- our mobile devices. She thought, what would happen if you could treat the biggest distraction and only device you carry 24/7 as a fidget device? With the help of Alex Castillo, and Josh Corn She went ahead and coded fidget.xyz where a user can tap on the screen and it will tell you the amount of fidgets you've done.

After user testing it, the feedback reminded me of an important element that was being forgotten and which is a huge component of fidgeting - proprioception: movement and spatial orientation arising from stimuli within the body itself.

Video I shot as an exploration of tacit knowledge with our day to day objects. This helped me out when developing didgets. (the physical pocket tools)

User Experience Design and Interaction Design When designing all my thesis offerings I was very conscious on how social motivations like labels could affect people's behaviors, so I built a playful UX-UI experience on the Didgets Website. The interactive design invites you to emerge yourself into the world of tactile cues and fidgeting with your hands. This way, the user can chose the tool that fits them best.

The Cubix - for those who want it all at once. Clicking, pulling and rubbing.

The Cubix is one tool from a set of quality fidget tools named Didgets. These pocket-sized discreet fidget tools are aimed for use inside classrooms, meeting and lectures. Each tool was designed for specific tactile preferences

The squishy - for individuals who like to squish things with their hands.

I rendered and designed these pocket-sized discreet fidget tools are aimed for use inside classrooms, meeting and lectures. Each tool was designed for specific tactile preferences.

as we can see ideally users would be able to pic different materials according to weight and environmental moisture variables.

Didgets was born from my Thesis statement, which is people with ADD and ADHD need to double task in order to Focus. According to Roland Rotz and Sarah D. Wright authors of Fidget to Focus, Double tasking is necessary for some individuals to focus. The additional sensory input or movement activity allows their brain to become fully engaged on their primary activity.

Wanting to elevate double tasking I created a set of high quality tools: The Roller, Cubix and Squishy. It’s functionality I’m going to explain above.

Envisioning a world we reach to avoid, I created a News Paper called Timeless, with the advertisement of my products on one side of it. Designing critical products for the here and now within Raymond Loewy’s “most advanced, yet acceptable” framework. I came out with DIDGETS a set of high end fidget tools, appropriate for the now.

It looks like cocaine, but I promise it’s not! This is my speculative object which was born from my Dystopian future. In the year 2075 All human population was connected to the net everyone’s body was on a vegetative state. Until someone unplugged accidentally being able to find a cymatic plate (object in the picture) where audio was translated into visual movement on the plate.

Parallel Times and Posible Futures. Everything started when we were assigned for our product design class to think about a Utopia and a Dystopia in 2075. The class was guided by my teacher Sinclair Smith in the Product Futuring Class. This si par of the process that helped me out to develop Didgets.

Interlude Final Experience Design. I explained part of the process it got me to here, on the posts that you can find below.

The results of this experience where fantastic! people with ADHD and ADD where able to fidget uncosncioulsy while developing the maze, not only that, but participants when they listened to they tune after the experience they could relate to past memories when they were solving the maze.

Even though this was a test. I have to re-call the importance of the props was fundamental, to pull together a professional looking experience, form the Vynil tiles on walls, to the lighting, smoke and lab technicians, all of this made the experience so so so authentic.

This experience was shot by Andy Clancy. Designed by Belen Tenorio and Jennifeer Flores Set Design Valentina Vicent

Process for interlude: Before I created the fidget pad. I coded painted a board with different Haptic interfaces, and textures, that through a @makeymakeyinventions-blog @makeymakeycreations and magnetic paint called Bare Conductive , it triggered animations and sounds.
