Functional prototype

For this project, my group and I were asked to redesign the 'backpack sprayer'. Our approach covers as wide of a target audience as possible, leaning into aesthetics while maintaining ease of use and ergonomics for extended use. Incoorperating new and innovative mechanisms, we wanted to push ourselves beyond the basics of a backpack sprayer. As a group we pushed through a handful of design iteratioins, tested ergonomic factors, and even designed a mechanism to use the leg to build pressure in the sprayer. We were left with 'Ergo v1'.
