Solution

Problem Statement

Design an articulating monitor that is reachable for various users of a diverse range of heights.

Prototypes

1st Prototype

Used foam board and plastic screws to try to produce the concept I intended to use for my final product.

2nd Prototype

I used plastic to construct my final model and metal screws to make the hinges rotate in the arms. My final concept was more simplified through the reduction of the set of hinges seen in the first prototype as well as the removal of the rotating base.
