Form factor question #1

Closed steakscience closed 4 years ago

steakscience commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I’m a designer able to help with the CAD and design.

My first impressions of the device is that it already looks great! Congrats! However, the aspect ratio looks disproportional, it looks a little bit too short. Is that final or can I try to change your mind on that?

@SixFingeredAmish You are welcome to propose changes! Thanks for the kinds words. Also you can see my attempt to do blueprints (I did the concept straight in Cinema 4D)

The form factor was inspired by Palm Pre's human size. My main goal was to make a device that fits well in the palm of your hand without feeling awkward.

The renders, while not providing scale, do remind me of an Android phone. The HTC Wildfire, which had a small optical trackpoint in its lower lip. I'm guessing that Clarity is slightly wider than 60.4mm based on the screen width?

@drisc Yeah that's true I made it wider so it's more comfortable to type. (At least I hope so)
