Triton
The ocean is meant to be explored, yet low visibility and changing currents can quickly turn the excitement of a dive into the stress of losing sight of your group. Triton was designed to remove that uncertainty, allowing divers to focus on discovery instead of constantly searching for their buddies. With real-time tracking, intelligent sonar guidance, and an intuitive underwater interface, it keeps dive partners connected while providing greater confidence and peace of mind. Whether exploring reefs, navigating shipwrecks, or venturing into open water, Triton makes every dive feel safer, more connected, and focused on the adventure ahead.
I created 60 exploratory sketches of diver wristbands after measuring wrists for anthropometrics, focusing on how the wrist is one of the fastest and most visible points to access in a moment of panic. Each form tests proportion, texture, and fastening systems to ensure the band can be located and understood instantly underwater. Experiences should include a GPS system, panic buttons, and distance trackers.
When doing user testing with low fidelity models, the materials chosen were quite ridged and hard (foam and acrylic), therefore hurting the user whilst wearing and removing it. So, for the final model, I used a flexible 3D printing resin to create the wristband. The first versions were too soft, so I balanced the resin with a rigid core to achieve the right level of flexibility.
