Inspiration
As regular mobile-phone users, the team felt there was a market needed for phone users while in the reclined position. With FlexiStand, we could eliminate this problem by making a comfortable phone stand that allows you to access your device in multiple positions!
What it Does
FlexiStand is designed for maximum comfort while in the leisure of your own home, maintaining your ability to lay in bed while browsing the web, watching Netflix, or texting a good friend. FlexiStand is designed to be adjustable to your liking, with a phone grip that works to be minimally intrusive to your mobile device’s screen. Many phone stands are uncomfortable, bulky, or just too difficult to set up. FlexiStand serves to do away with these issues entirely by having a user-friendly, non-intrusive design that prioritizes the user’s comfort.
How We Built It
FlexiStand was designed with the shortcomings of similar products in mind. With these, the team was able to construct a design with maximum comfort for users. The design's full model was developed in SolidWorks.
Challenges We Ran Into
Conflicting schedules were difficult to manage across the 5-person team. Taking account of time zones, classes, work, exams, etc., was difficult as we collaborated on this project. Regardless, the team was able to create a fleshed-out presentation for the product.
Accomplishments We're Proud Of
The team was able to create an innovative new product that solves a common issue within the entertainment market. FlexiStand caters to consumers, focusing on user-friendliness and comfort.
What We Learned
The team learned many fundamental engineering principles in regard to pitching a design and presenting it to executives for approval. Not only did we learn valuable skills in collaborating on a design project, but we also developed skills in developing a proper product under time constraints.
