1st Weeks

Difficult to knock off the rust, have not typed "mkdir" in a long time.  I chose to try Blender rather than digging out TurboCAD which I had used in designing our house.  This is taking some time.  Also my first official attempt at a genuine webpage!

Assignment

Render/Animate a final project

Tools:  CAD

Project:

DERFID

• User controlled – Disable/EnableRFID transponder for short term use

• Organizational Controlled Self Destruct Options at pre-determined date/time

Objective:  To provide family or group identity, location and tracking during incidence response while protecting privacy.  Balance privacy concerns with the great utility of RFID in situations such as Hurricane Relief.  These devices are intended for a specific incident and are thus designed to “self destruct” at a predetermined date or bio-degrade over a reasonable time period.  One function that gathers much attention is the ability to disable the device.  This is usually a destructive function.  I propose they have the ability to be enabled and disabled at the desire of the individual (with a childproof design perhaps).

Standard Device Designs:

• Wristband devices

  1st Assignment Rendering of the DERFID:

  

  Animation of DERFID:
