Design and development of a Bluetooth avalanche transceiver

Priority over handling.

In addition to the challenge of balancing significant size constraints and waterproofing with electronic components, designing an emergency response product requires careful consideration of how it will be handled during use.

A rotary knob was our starting point. By experimenting with both position and orientation, prototyping our formal explorations allows us to test and validate the most promising designs.

Attention to every detail.

To minimize complications during industrial development—especially for a product where every tenth of a millimeter counts—it is essential to create a model that incorporates all internal components and customer requirements.
