nightstand only to find it impossible to

the openings are facing, or trying to
plug in something in a dark room and
not being able to figure out which way

less than a decade for smart-phone
companies to redesign their

POWER OUTLET GENERAL LOCATIONS

Usually in our homes, the outlets are hidden by furniture or in places that
are difficult to reach, making it difficult to orient and plug in.

INVISIBLE VISIBLE ? Power outlet orientation
is not always the same,
The angle of visibility influence the usability of power outlets. and the location and
Deciphering the location and orientation of the outlet to plug in your elec- angle makes it a lot more

Objectives

Problem:
Current designs for computer on wheels (COW’s) that are

specifically targeted for use in hospitals don’t rely on
feedback from actual users and fail in deliver a system
that tackles both usability as well as design.

Objective:
Using feedback form actual users improve the design of

the COW’s system and deliver a system that fits both
the working environment as well as its main users.

Criteria :
Current designs are big, heavy, expensive and most

importantly hard to use. Current designs are just a
rolling desk with a dell on top.
