Prototype: New Prototype Design

Here are the pictures taken in todays meeting where we redesigned our prototype.

The key features that were developed from the original prototype were:

1. A grip has been added to make the pen easier to hold.
2. The text on the screen has the ability now to flip over so the pen can be used by both right and left handed people with ease(this feature is available in the menu).
3. The sound volume can now be increased or decreased from the menu system.
4. A 'beep' tone has been added so that the device beeps when a scan has been initiated and will beep again when the word has been scanned to indicate that a word has been read.
5. The wording on the menu system has been altered slightly to make it clearer to the user that the 'Dictionary' and the 'Thesaurus' will only show results based on the scanned in word only.
6. The length of the device has been increased from 8cm to 10cm so that the screen on the device can be made slightly bigger and also provide improved comfort in the hand.
