RFID implementation in ski boot rental : Product and system development

Abstract: A tag system using RFID is proposed to avoid bending down, walking around, or bending over a bench for scanning ski boots (for their sole measurement). Using methods such as observations and interviews, the problem was defined and then visualised with the help of a persona and storyboard. Ideas were then created through brainstorming, braindrawing, and morphological matrix. They were then sorted through by feasibility and interest and combined to create three separate concepts. These were discussed, and two finalists were analysed further and compared in a weight value matrix. The final concept is a slanted footpad with a footprint and built-in lights to invite the user and promote correct usage, which has been the project’s focus.
