R1 Rough Sketches

I explored different ways to make the cassette the focal point, testing partial enclosures, transparency, and framing to refine its visual and physical interaction.

R2 Rough CAD
In CAD, I refined the form and began integrating features like the spinning wheel for audio scrubbing. I also experimented with button placements for core functions to create an intuitive layout.

R3 Low Fidelity Prototyping

Prototyping revealed that the cassette player was too large and the button placements needed adjustment. Hands-on testing helped refine proportions and ergonomics, improving both usability and overall design.
