Movement Analogies
We had to find three household items that have two or more hinges in a mechanical sense and choose three of the items that we want to use for the bridge opening. The three items that I want to use are eyelash curler, umbrellas and a wine bottle opener. We then took each item and 3-D modeled them and diagramed the functions of each item for a better understanding of their mechanics before incorporating them into our prototypes
