O design emocional aplicado no desenvolvimento de um carregador de energia solar portátil

Abstract

Considering that eletric energy is becoming more intrinsic to the current society’s lifestyle, and that its production presents issues such as raw material shortage, there is a demand for new means of eletric energy generation. Therefore, this paper consists on the research and development report of a viable and eficient alternative for management of energy, utilizing solar light as a clean energy source. This development was based on the Design Thinking methodology, which aims to acquiant the user to the whole creation of a product. The users were accessed by opinion surveys, and considering the results of the first survey, the process of alternatives generation began. Then, the production of Mock Ups was made possible, and furthermore, another research with an access group took place for the definition of the model to be used on the prototype production. After the conclusion of this prototype, the brand was developed, as well as the packaging for sale and transport.
