RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Research that led to the creation of the Mudita Pure phone.
Founder experience and ideas. Own observation. Contact with experts. Gathering resources from fields as EMF, mindfulness, digital addictions. Competition observation Designers conduct in depth interviews and tests with potential users based on Design Thinking methodologies to gather insight or test our ideas and prototypes. Kickstarter campaign as a proof of interest and possibility to talk with actual potential users.
CHALLENGE: Creating a phone which is as neutral as a stone was one of the challenges.
Our patented antenna requires quite a lot of space, we want to provide a long-lasting battery so it was also challenging to find a good balance between technical aspects to make it work properly and final ergonomy to make it comfortable in grip.
We use of sustainable materials for casing.
We are developing own OS for E ink device
People like the idea but need to slowly, step by step adapt to the changes.
