7.5 The previous design 2

The feeling of holding a small pebble is very comforting. The proper shape and weight

gives a hint of good quality. It feels natural to have it filling up your palm. It is nice to

hold a thing like this that we don’t feel bothersome. Therefore the pebble becomes the

other prototype of the Reading Partner.

This is a design which leads me to the final design presented in main text. The idea of

designing it as a round smooth pebble-like scanner is settled.

The volume is about 70mm*40mm*15mm, and the valid screen size is about

64mm*34mm, which is quite good to support the dictionary or translator function.

There is only one button for switching the power on and off and a micro-USB slot to

connect to computer or charge. The background lights up with blue color, when the

Reading Partner is on. When it scans, the background light varies to show different

working mode. A floating menu follows the fingers position that it is designed mainly

for the convenient of the thumb originally. It recognizes finger gestures such as sliding,

tapping and pressing. The menu can be slid away to the side and locked when it is not in

need. It has three main functions, dictionary, translator and scrapbook. The first two

functions are for the need during the reading, the scrapbook is mainly for reviewing

reading history in brief.
