Week 18

Applications and implications

Assignment:

Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project.
I belive that open source projects are aviable to be made in any fablab and everybody can improve the development project, so open Source is my desicion.

Opensource

Almost all parts of my project was made by using free software tools, and also some resources from internet. I am thinking that my project can also be reused and shared, Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. By using this license, I can get a lot of feedbacks from the people who redo my project. In this way, my project can be beter and better. And I can make friends from all aroud the word. And other licenses, like Free Art License can also be applied.[From wiki]: The Free Art License (abbr.: FAL, French: Licence Art Libre) is a copyleft license that grants the right to freely copy, distribute, and transform creative works without the author's explicit permission.

Business plan

As my project will act like a entainment toy, that fits for children or even the aldults.
There are basiclly 2 kinds of shape of my product. One is that I develop it to a very complete stage, and all the function works very well. People who gets it can directly put it into use for entertainment.
In the future, I think I can develop more products based on the laser gun. That can not only used in a toy like duck huntting game, but also some useful product. One I have came up with is to make an shotting alarm clock. You have to shoot the alarm correctlly when you are woke up. And this shooting game make you clear-headed in the beginning of one day.
And there is another way that is to produce a Hands-on practice kits, which is not a completed product but needs to be assembled by the customers themselves. By the period they can learn more about it. Maybe some of the students would like it. It seems like an educational product.
