The Gland

Our next project involved us designing a marketable object for the year 2016. A piece of group work, the three of us, after a few pints decided that energy drinks, cigarettes, coffee, adrenaline, insulin, the endorphin for love, and all those other everyday chemicals could be dispensed, through the skin, hypo-spray like by a strap-on device not dissimilar, visually from a watch.

It would do away with the need to carry paracetamol, other painkillers, and for instance contraceptive in a hand-bag or otherwise. If left on 24hrs a day the device could have an entire days' drugs ready for you.

07:30, a boost of adrenaline to wake you and two of caffeine.
08:35, endorphins to remind you how to smile and to stimulate respect for your fellow humans
11:30, nicotine to repress hunger
13:00, post meal anti-nausea infusion
15:00, more caffeine
17:00, adrenaline for the commute, to keep those elbows at the ready whilst getting on the tube.
17:30, tranquiliser/ pain-killer
23:00, sleeping assistance
00:00, a new liver.

The further possibilities were huge, programs for raves, dinner parties, a first date, a third date, a fight, or exercise could all be programed. Eventually this thing would be running your life. And you would always be happy.

Initial Ideas.














Finally the interface we and packaging we used.
