DVR Remote Control / 2005 / Whipsaw Inc.

Process: The design of these remote controls grew out of an interest in creating forms that were both comfortable to hold and expressive in form. The remote control was designed for a client who wanted to control a set top box.


The process went through from sketching to foam models to 3d cad to production of hard model prototypes.
Skills: foam modeling and cad modeling with Rhino 3d. Hard models were produced based on the 3d cad and the cosmetic specs provided. 3d Renderings were also created with Alias Render Studio.
