In our group we discussed how the issuses in the Tipping Point related to design and how design could solve or help these issuses. We discussed two main issuses - crime and disease. A lot of interesting issuses and ideas arose from these topics. The idea I chose to take further was voice recognition in cars to prevent theft. I looked into the voice recognition sotware and designing how it would work, and the aesthetics of it. I thought this was a good ide as you could register the main driver in the showroom and then only he or she could add drivers; the basic principle being that. I also considered the fact that you may still have to have keys for the main door as people may not want to use voice recognition out on the street to open the door. Also, the possibility of having a two password system - one to change the password and add dirvers and one to start the car. Each driver could possibly use their name to start the car.
Another idea I particularly like but did not research fully was soap dispensers in hospitals, designing them to be more attractive to use and possibly ones down at childrens level. Also, possibly of conecting the hand dispensers to doors and making the hand dispensers the door acivation system.
