The brief "Design a product to help those with physical or cognitive impairments
that is also appealing to the mass market. Whether your solution is an
answer to an existing problem or something entirely new, the focus
should be on creating a design that is innovative, functional and
universally appealing. Your idea could exist in any number of settings –

I researched into a how people cut food in
kitchen and the safety of it. Most of the time people’s fingers are really
close to the food they are cutting and with past experiences from people asked
with cutting fingers instead of food I thought to design a tool that would help
the safety of cutting and could be used by people with physical impairments.
The design of slyce allows the user to
clamp the food between the two walls using only there body. All that needs to
be done then is to cut the food as you normally would safer.
