As well as improving design details, internal features and overall aesthetics, the<br />
interaction between the user and the product has been revised and simplified.<br />
Through user testing a range of issues relating to the interaction between the<br />
product, components and the user were identified.<br />
These issues were addressed by minimising interaction steps, and replacing the<br />
button activation interface with a kinetic, push down interface solution. By replacing<br />
the action of locking the components together, placing the bottle on the base, and<br />
holding the bottle while pressing the button, the user interaction is streamlined and<br />
opportunities for user error are reduced. The <strong>Blitz</strong>2Go Lift is designed to make use<br />
of the products semiotics and form factor to develop natural affordances, prompting<br />
the user to engage with the physical interface and improving the products overall<br />
usability and function.<br />
Natural affordances and designed features contribute to the products overall<br />
usability and user interaction interface. Details on the bottle, blade housing and base<br />
work to align the bottle in a correct orientation, to ensure locking and safe use. The<br />
overall form factor of the product base ensures stability when pushing downwards<br />
on the bottle, further indicating the interaction to the user.<br />
