Christian Edwards: Week 6 Ring

        TravlRing is a concept of a pedometer device that connects to your phone through bluetooth.  On your phone you can see how far you've walked and how many steps you've taken.  There are two buttons on the whole ring.  One lighted button that is used to turn on the device, and an indented button that when clicked, searches for bluetooth devices in the area so it can find your phone and connect with it.  There are 6 holes on the underside of the ring that are used for ventilation and comfort.  This ring can is for and can be worn by anybody.  

        The design was made simple through certain elements in the software Rhino.  I used polar array, boolean difference, and fillet edge to create this simple yet sophisticated ring.  

        The materials I used was cloudy plastic for the ring itself, and a light for the lighted button.  The cloudy plastic gives the ring a beautiful touch.  As one studies the ring, they can observe all the different reflections and retractions seen through the ring.
