Task "nalysis

My pro)ect is to design and make an M*+ player. I need to decidewho I should design it for, so I will have to look at a range of

dierent e#isting products and analyse them in detail to understandthe features they have and to help me understand who buys themalready.

I need to investigate what smart materials are and how I might usethem in my pro)ect.

ecause the electronics are small I can make my shape any style Ilike, but I could use a theme to help produce design ideas.

I need to investigate dierent ways I might manufacture my product

as a working prototype so it can be made commercially in large!uantities.
