The document describes a multi-functional device designed to improve the university registration process. The device is inspired by the human brain and can change shapes. It uses magnetism to guide users by pulling them to different locations on campus. It also changes colors to correspond to different registration steps. At the end of the process, the devices connect and combine to form a sculpture, helping students feel a sense of unity and belonging.

1. Concept:
It is a multi-functional device to be used through the registration process.
According to the conclusions derived from the research, the problems of the
registration process are the involvement of the parents, the navigation
problems and the absence of belonging to the university. As a group
investigating the curriculum side of the registration process, we tried to create a
device to solve all these problems in the best way possible. By using a system
that directs the user to different places in the campus by pulling from their
hand the device solves the problems in the navigation and involvement of
the parent. At the end of the process users are combining the devices together
by changing their shape. By this way with the combined afford of the
newcomers, a sculpture is created and the feeling of unity and belonging is
given to the newcomer.
How it looks:
The device is created by getting inspirations from the human brain. Therefore
it has folds and curls in its shape. The user has the opportunity to change its
shape freely and create a totally different composition.
How it works:
The device has a system of routing that works by interacting with the user. It
is suitable for every kind of users meaning abled and disabled. The device works
by the squeezing of the user. In the duration of the squeezing the device leads
the user by pulling them with magnetism to the place they are supposed to
be at. When the user stops squeezing the device, it ends the pull movement and
gets to the waiting mood.
In the waiting mood of the device, it changes colors to show which step comes
next. Every step at the registration process has different colors suited to
different tables of registration such as the table for bank, health center or
dormitory management. While not directing the user to a different place in the
campus, the device leads the user by changing colors according to the steps
of the registration.
At the end of the process the device directs the user one last time to the center of
the campus where the library and student center is. At that point, the device
starts vibrating and the only way to stop this vibration is connecting the
device to other devices of other newcomers by changing its shape. As the
student makes a connection with another device, the device stops vibrating and
this is when the registration process of one student ends.
At the end of the whole registration processes, there will be one big sculpture
made out of the devices at the center of the campus which is the combined
afford of the whole class of newcomers.

2. Therefore the feeling of unity and belonging is created and the registration
process passes easily in a fun way.
Ideation:
In order to create a device that is going to make the registration process, we
made a research to find out the problems in the ongoing process. After finding
out the problems as the involvement of the parents, navigation
complications and missing feeling of belonging to the university, we decided
to take the brain as an inspiration.
The device needs to solve all of the problems while adding fun and the
feeling of belonging to the process. This is made by the directing function of the
device. While the user is squeezing the device, the device directs the user to
different places in the campus by the pulling action. These different places
include the necessary places for the registration to be completed and also places
such as the faculty building of the newcomer, student center, library and some
other events made during the registration process in the campus. By this way
the student not only completes the process without getting lost in the campus
but also gets to know the campus and enjoys his/her time during the
registration.
The other function of the device where it changes its colors is to lead the student
when not directing him/her with the pulling action. The user can identify the
steps of the process by checking the color of the device with the colors of the
steps. This shortens the duration of the process and makes it easier to follow
the registration steps without having confusions.
