2. Research To get some ideas on different designs and functions of computer mice, we researched ones that were already made by companies.

3. Concept My concept was to make a mouse that gave off a nice warmth for your hand. This would be good for older people who have arthritis in their hand.

4. Ideations I brainstormed 20 different ideas for a mouse to be designed and here are 5 of the 20 I designed.

5. Out of the 20 ideations I drew I chose the two best designs that would show my concept. Then I drew different views of the computer mice I had chosen. Idea Development

6. Digital Wire Framed View After I picked the best design for my concept out of the two computer mice, I started building it in Rhino.

7. This blue button controls the heat level of the mouse. To have a low warmth, you hit the blue button once and the green light will turn on. To have medium warmth you hit the blue button twice and the yellow light will turn on. To get high warmth you hit the blue button three times and the red light will turn on. This way, the person holding the mouse can have the perfect warmth for their hand. Functions Heat Controls MediumLowHigh

8. Functions On/Off In the mouse here, the red parts are where the heat will be coming out of. This green H is the On/Off switch to the heat. If you want heat on, push the H and the light will turn on letting you know when it is on or off.

9. Functions The clickers for the mouse are where the purple color is located on this picture, in the little cove. You slip your fingers nicely into the cove and on the clickers. The pink oval in the middle of this mouse is the scroll wheel. Wireless Cove
