I and Adnan were researching a hand dryer systems in general as an intangible interactive object.

Making a matrix

According to the framework Yeseul mentioned, we made a matrix of the hand dryer.

We’ve looked into several types of hand dryers. Then we put common user and system flow on the matrix.

Basically hand dryers have a proximity sensor to trigger the air fan when users place their hands underneath it.

After this, we discussed the proximity sensor’s problems.

Sometimes the air flow doesn’t help to dry our hands and the water drop that comes after we dry is dirty to fill the dishes.

The Dyson’s air dryer solved this problem by attaching a faucet with a dryer together.

Redesigning idea

Our redesigning interaction is the brand new way to generate air and trigger the system.

We humans have our airflow system called “Fart”.

So we made a circulation system from a toilet by capturing farts and sending them to your hands via filters.
