Handy Chair
I found these to be interesting interfaces because the purpose is to create safe, functional, low-cost vehicles to promote wheelchair user dependence. There was a sign that said something like, “we will all end up in a wheelchair someday,” which I do not necessarily agree with but the fact is many people do. Customizing these to suit our own needs could help get away from the negative connotation associated with wheelchairs by undermining user dependency on others. I especially like this because it is practical and is atempting to solve a real-world issue, which is my goal as a designer. I believe design should have a purpose and work towards improving lives in some way.
