Target activity and challenges
Create an attached table for wheelchair which can be used during meals and other activities.
Target activity (what we want to do and how)
Anytime ( Meals, reading, writing, travel )
When the activity is done
while using wheelchair
Where the activity is done
Independently
With whom
Difficulty in using the materials during meals and other activities due to physical disabilities and no flat surface to keep the materials during activities.
Why the activity is difficult now
With the help of attach table for his wheelchair he can comfortably have his meals, and do other activities on it. Its portable which can make him convenient to take wherever he go.
Why this activity matters to the person (personal thoughts)
Subjective satisfaction before making the tool: 8 /10
Subjective satisfaction after making the tool: 10 /10

Prototype record : make, test, reflect -1
Process of Prototyping
Evaluate after making the tool: Why did you feel that way? Are there any problems if it is used continuously?
What we made and why
How it worked
Why we think this happened
Add images, videos, and descriptions in as much detail as possible.
Production files
Save the STL file to Drive and add the link.
Created attached table for the
wheelchair which is portable and easy to use. It has boundaries which prevents the materials from falling while using the wheelchair. It can be attached easily to the armrest of the wheelchair.
Team thought that the front boundary of the tray might hamper the user to write.
The tray was aimed to carry out any activities the user wants to use.

The prototype was redesigned with all the boundaries around the tray to be minimal in its height.
The decrease in height of the boundaries around the tray made it comfortable for the user to write.

When the tray was connected to the armrest the handle slips.
The handle joining the armrest needs some treads for grip as well as the length must be increased.

Reflection and Future Improvements
Reflect on the project and consider what could be improved, including any issues that might arise with continued use..
The prototype that the team came up with was for the persons using wheelchairs. In the process of making the prototype we have come across many issues of the final product. In future this prototype can be improved by adding treads for grip in the handle connecting armrest and tray. The shape of the table can be changed as per the person’s needs. A curve shape is recommended in the front so the product don’t interfere with person’s body figure.
