Product: ERGONOMIC GAMING MOUSE
Description:

A mouse can be said as an essential hardware component for every laptop/PC users regardless who uses it. However, a traditional mouse seems not very utilize and not very following the the extra needs in current generation. A basic mouse usually have bulky design, inaccurate pointer, lagging, two clicks button, a middle roller, etc.

Hence, we from Group 8 discussed to innovate the current existence of gaming mouse by performing reverse engineering to enhance the mouse functionalities and open a whole new level of mouse application in the marketplace.

Reason:
1. Wide innovation possiblities
2. The demand for better gaming mouses are rising
3. Reduces risk of mouse arm syndrom.

Innovation ideas:
1. Waterproof/ sweatproof
2. Shock resistance
3. Haptic feedback vibration and adaptive triggers
4. Extension (add on extra buttons)

All of the reasons we included are the purpose of doing reverse engineering to the Ergonomic Gaming Mouse and also we included the ideas that we think useful and able to be focus or added into next generation of gaming mouse to escalate to it's full potential.

Noise cancelling earphones:
When I was doing my intern at the powerplant, noise was very loud. I was unable to listen clearly to what the operator was saying.

By reverse engineering current noise cancelling earphones, I would like to introduce the idea of selective noise cancelation through AI, perhaps. Meaning the earphones can block out the useless noise while enhancing the voice of the person speaking for better communication.

Old Die Machines:

When I was doing my intern, there was a broken die, and they needed to refurbish it. However, the die is very old (from 1980s) and during that time, there was no 3D model. Only 2D drawings. To make it easier to fix, 3D model would be much more efficient. So, they did reverse engineer to obtain 3D model of the die by using optical camera. So, I would say that reverse engineer on old die machines would be helpful for future development and repairs.

- to make it more efficient like the RFID and SmartTag because there is always congestion in mrt/lrt to scan the touch and go.
- could lead to smoother and faster process for customers

possible ideas:

- car
- internal combustion engine
- tyre
- laptop

Product: Ergonomics knife / one-handed knife

An instrument for cutting, consisting essentially of a thin, sharp-edged, metal blade fitted with a handle. The blade of a knife can be made from materials such as stainless steel, high-carbon stainless steel, titanium, ceramic and plastic. One of the oldest materials used for producing knives, carbon steel blades are tough, can be very sharp and retain their sharp edge well.

Reason:
1. Some knives are not safe to use because of their simple design and do not have an appropriate safe design.
2. Variety of material selections for the blade.
3. Extended lower blade helps increase cutting range and protects fingers from injury.
4. Tougher material for various fields of use; not just in the kitchen but outdoors too.

Improvement:
1. More sturdy and high-quality materials for blades such as carbon steel and graphite.
2. Ergonomic handle for comfort and control with prolonged usage.
3. Lightweight for prolonged usage.
4. Can include finger protectors with 3D printed materials.

Apply reverse engineering method to improve the existing product

This new generation controller introduce new and improved heptic feedback trigger mechanism which provide more immersive experience for the user.

Reason:
We want to analyse the evolution and improvement of the PlayStation controller between its debut in 1994 and the new DualSense controller. We also want to know their innovative ways to ensure that the controller has evolved in some interesting ways between console generations that connected millions of players to some of the best experiences the industry has had to offer for almost three decades. With the latest controller, we can know the reasons for every change and further give feedback on what to improve in the future.

Improvement:
1) Battery Life
- reduce charging time and increase capacity
- the controller takes approximately three hours to charge a depleted battery fully.

2) Add Dedicated Pairing Button
- improve user experience and comfort

3) Improve thumbstick material to prevent drifting
- using material with better grip and longer lifespan
- most become slippery due to tear and wear.

4) Reduce the moving part in the motorised heptic trigger for longer life time

Product: Phone Casing

Phone casing is used by everyone. Usually their material is not safe for the phone or easily broken. There are many ways of improving them. The material can be made of carbon fiber for better protection. It can be designed to be lighter than normal casing. Normal phone casings do not have wirless charging access, so the casing can have built in wireless charging for convenience. A protective layer can be added that absorbs shock when the phone hits on impact

Supersonic Passenger Aircraft - civil supersonic aircraft designed to transport passengers at speeds greater than the speed of sound.

The Concorde Aircraft
Started its development at 29 November 1962.
First Flight 2 March 1969 and final flight 26 November 2003 .
Can travel up to Mach 2

- Original company no longer makes it
- The design was made not using CAD software as it was made at 1960s and 70s
- Design Plans not public
- No commercial Supersonic Passenger Aircraft exist as of now

By reverse engineering the Concorde, the aircraft design could be further improved with the latest technologies and innovation.

Things that can be improved is:
1. Reduce the sonic booms that can cause physical damage, breaking glass, cracking plaster, and shaking objects off shelves.
2. Reducing Noise.
3. Reduce the greenhouse gases emission.

IEMs are devices used by musicians, audio engineers and audiophiles to listen to music or to hear a personal mix of vocals and stage instrumentation for live performance or recording studio mixing. In early 2000, the pricing for IEM is quite expensive so it's not a common item. but the technology for IEM is rapidly expending in 2020 and the pricing can go as low as RM100. The problem with cheap IEM is that when it is having a broken part with the earpiece, its cannot be repaired and needs to buy a new one.

With reverse engineering, we can make the broken earpiece without need to by a new one. This is because the shape of an IEM is unique in order to be fit comfortably to the user's ear therefore it is hard to be recreate. Furthermore, by using reverse engineering, we can improve the ergonomics of IEM thus reducing more the pricing for it.

Product: Bicycle+Scooter

A bicycle is an exciting design to discover as we can visually see how it mechanically works. When the bicycle is reversed, we can discover that the design of a bicycle can be simplified and minimized for easy-carry. An easy-carry bicycle would be very beneficial for students as it will minimize space and cost. The design of the scooter, for example, can be modified into the body of the bicycle. We also want to preserve the bulk tire as it will increase its durability for heavy use due to road roughness. The bicycle will be a convenient value for them because they don't have to use the e-hailing services to move to places within the UM campus. An electric integrated bicycle-scooter would be an extra value for the design to be benefited as the students could preserve their energy.
