Original NuVu Climbing Wall

A multi person climbing wall which the users navigate by hanging from pegs which they drag through a maze, in tandem with a climbing partner holding the same pegs from the other side of the wall.

Kids Critique:

• Didn't like the NuVu sign
• Not enough color
• The climbing wall looks unsafe

Kids improvement:

• Trampoline under climbing wall
• Incorporated into a full playground
• More to do with the wall than just climb

Solidify Design Language:

-What colors do we want to use?

-What is our shape language

-Do we want to guide the users interaction?

Work with the rest of the groups to get a consistent design language

High(er)-Fi prototyping:

-Consistant scale

-Nicer Materials

-Structural Model

Mechanical Design:

-How are we going to make the hand holds move?
