The Inclusively Designed Smart Hand-Dispenser project aimed to explore how varying HCI theoretical frameworks influence the design of automated dispensers. By examining the same concept through the lenses of Feminist HCI and Materiality, the project demonstrated how design priorities, outcomes, and user experiences shift based on the framework applied. The result was two distinct low-fidelity prototypes, each shaped by the values and principles of its respective framework.

The Feminist HCI prototype prioritized inclusivity and user empowerment, resonating with diverse user needs. The Materiality prototype highlighted the importance of sensory feedback and the seamless blending of physical and digital design.
