what is Product Dissection ?
-
It is the systematic disassembly of a product in order to identify the components and sub assemblies of our product and how it functions.
-
It helps to understand the inner workings of our product.
-
we take it apart, we determine what is actually causing things like the spinning motion, how is the device being powered.
-
So, it will help us to learn a product works, but how can we use it to come up with new ideas?
-
It gets us to think of the design or the product in a new way.
-
So, if we were thinking about a computer mouse, usually the first thing that comes to mind is the shape or the form of the mouse, the absence or the presence of the buttons.
-
But as an engineer, what we have to think first is how the thing is first working. What causing those button to actually transmit those signals to the machine itself.
-
It allows us to have more jumping off point.
-
It allows us to think about the design problem in the design space in a way that we wouldn’t originally when thinking about the problem.
