DIY making has extended beyond hobbyist practice and become a site of industrial innovation.

1. Introduction

1.1 Emerging Sites of HCI Innovation:

Hackerspaces, Hardware Startups & Incubators [Lindtner, 2014]

1.2 Japanese hardware startups & Infrastructure

Silvia Lindtner refers to hardware

startups that are born in hackerspaces,

primarily giving examples from the

US and China.

1.2 Japanese hardware startups & Infrastructure

Infrastructure

In Japan, there are hardware startups

which utilize cloud funding and

Japanese manufacturer technology,

as well as maker spaces for hardware

startups and incubation programs.

1.3 OTON GLASS: A case study of Japanese hardware startups

OTON GLASS

But Japanese hardware startups

that are derived from DIY making

are not referred to in HCI. So in this

paper we will pick up and refer to

the OTON GLASS project, this project

is reflected in the DIY movement.

2. Over view of OTON GLASS

2.1 Concept of OTON GLASS

2.2 Reality of OTON GLASS

8

2. Concept of OTON GLASS

9

OTON GLASS is a wearable device

for people who have difficulty in reading.

OTON GLASS changes words to sound

via a built-in device that detects a blink as

a trigger, thereby solving these problems

OTON GLASS changes words to sound

Dyslexic people who have difficulty in reading

2. Reality of OTON GLASS

11

First Prototype 2013:

For involving user

Second Prototype 2014:

For collaborating stakeholder

Third Prototype 2015:

Human resource recognition

3.1 Motivation

3.2 Ideation

3.3 Prototyping

3.4 User test

3.1 Motivation

13

The motivation for this device was that

Shimakage’s (head of this project) father

acquired dyslexia. Three years ago, his

father was hospitalized due to a stroke,

and he became dyslexic. Now, thanks to

rehabilitation, he has recovered. He can

read and write most words

3.2 Ideation

14

First, I interviewed my father and observed

his behavior. This allowed me to identify the

problems. During the ideation phase, I did idea

sketching and video prototyping.

3.3 Prototyping

15

We developed the first prototype. The

purpose of the first prototype was to

confirm our concept with Shimakage’s

father.

4. Second prototype 2014: Collaborative prototype

4.1 Second prototype 2014

4.2 5 dyslexic people tried this prototype

4.3 Collaborate with four organizations/people

16

4.1 Second prototype 2014

17

We developed the second prototype.

The purpose of the second prototype

is to perform user tests with other dyslexic

people and collaborate with stakeholder.

Feedback

“・ want to use to double check when reading”

“・ want to use when I have to read quickly”

“・ blink trigger was difficult to use”

20

We are collaborating with the

organizations/people.Each group/person

was able to experience the prototype as

a user with expertise from their individual

fields, which allowed us to focus on the

user experience. So the prototype became

our shared language.

4.3 Collaborate with the organizations/people

5. Conclusion

21

We can say with certainty that amateur teams

can easily make prototypes at low cost using

raspberry pi, 3D printers and electronic parts

(which are bought at Aribaba), and that this

team was able to collaborate with stakeholders

using this prototype.
