This is a prototype enclosure for the Haptec Bike Navigation System I am presenting with my team for the ITP Winter Show. The angular design fits well inside a bike frame and suggests forward motion and directionality.

Some features: an inset & interior support for a power switch. Slots for straps to affix to the bike & I'm especially pleased with the pressfit insets for ceramic disc magnets for the removable lid.

The circuit design is still in process so more openings for a battery charger and a bluetooth module are in order.

Things I would do differently or will do further: create contoured layers to constrain the interior components/circuit as well as external contours to acommodate the main bike frame bar this will enclosure hang from.

This design is an improvement on a few previous prototypes and is based on/related to the LED circuit enclosure.

After several combinations of interface concept circuit, enclosure, and code iterations we have a bike which can read geo loc data via Google's API and relay instructions for a calculated route via haptic vibration and LED signals.

Over the next two weeks our team plan to continue to iterate through our next two Physical Computing section finals and in preparation for the winter show. Iterations will incorporate user testing to learn more about user interaction needs, install the project into a smaller bike frame to facilitate user testing and, magnetic North orientation mode, and further enclosure development.
