Reflection- Visualization Tool

Challenge

The challenge is to think of a design of a cellphone charger that is easy to use, easy to carry, can charge  safely and can be use anywhere you wanted even if there is no outlet for charging. Nowadays, the production  of mobile phones has extremely increasing day-by-day, as well as different kinds of portable charger like  power banks that is easy to use, handy and can charge safely. But before we can use the power banks, we  need to first full charge it to an AC source, it is actually a back-up power device when you are traveling. In  line with this, the use of renewable energy is starting to be a big trend linked in the world of technology.  Renewable energy like solar energy, wind energy, hydropower etc. Therefore, our team wanted to design a  portable charger that is based on renewable energy source. It is an energy harvester using an  electromagnetic induction as a renewable source and will be applicable for mobile phone charging. No need  for AC source charging, to produce an energy, you only need to shake it.

Selection

Visualization tool, as our team selected for the challenge, is a way that we can visualize what will be the  future actual image of the design project. We can imagine how it works and who will use it regularly.  Visualization tool as a process of exercising your mind to more complex and more challenging design thinking  application.

If you want to visualize more what we will be doing and why we chose this visualization tool as the means to  our challenge, you can watch a video related to our shake charger which is the shake flashlight. It is when  Michael Faraday discovered that by passing a magnet through a coil of wire, a small electrical current is  created. And for that, it is the same thing that when the person shake flashlight.

Application

At the beginning of our brainstorming, visualization tool is already applied. Every ideas we formed,  visualization is always there and it helps a lot because when we visualize ideas we also think of ‘is it really  possible? Is it what the costumer wanted? Is it really going to work?’, and if all of that questions come to our  mind does not even answer, we did not choose it. Visualization tool for me is always a part of decision making.  Before you act, you will think first then decide. And that’s what happen, we apply the visualization tool during  our brainstorming and then agree on what is best. Visualization has always have a big part in forming,  generating and creating new ideas. It will always be effective to what is your idea when you are thinking about  it positively and encouraging. It will be ineffective when you do not focus on what is it that you want, then you  will be discourage to think about it.

Insights

Understanding what visualization tool can offer will play a big role in decision making. Wise decision making  as a part of design thinking will aid the thirst of technology in innovation.

When you visualize, you are curious. You are eager to unfold something in that thing you create in your mind.  You are learning. And that’s the reason why we decided to use visualization tool. It will provide a clear

picture/vision of what our selected challenge. And from that, we will be motivated every single step we make  thinking that there is a clearer view of our project.

Regarding design thinking, as what Chuck Arroyo of Global Leadership Development Director, Mars, Inc.  said, that ‘Design thinking is applied clarifying a challenge, ideation, prototyping to the how we work as  oppose to just what we do.’ We do not focus only on what we do but think of how we work. Concentrate on  visualizing how the idea/challenge we selected will work.

Approach

I might use the same tool, because I believe that analyzing the challenge starts by first visualizing it. You can  identify what problems you encountered every time you finish something, then by visualization tool, you will  figure out again, what you need to do next. You can fail to recall a story, but by knowing how to visualize it,  you can continue to work for it. You don’t need to always have a right turn, instead, a clearer view will help.
