As noted in the summary of design criteria evaluation (Section 8.1), there are areas that would benefit from further development in order to further develop the intimate aspects regarding user experience.
Other areas of the Bach Pack that would benefit from further development include:
• Observation of end user testing of a full-scale, working prototype of the solar array frame and mast focussing on the assembly experience.
• External evaluation from possible end users. i.e. a focus group.
• Examination from an engineer for structural confirmation.
• Development and integration of a wind turbine module that connects to the existing Bach Pack mast.
• The development, production and marketing of the shipping container base connection product (currently covered by a provisional patent). As mentioned in Section 1.1, a series of product development initiatives were identified. The following are yet to be explored:
• Modular furniture providing a more customisable product.
• Modular features to enable multiple PAB units to work collectively.
• Modular accessories allowing the PAB to move comfortably from sub- tropical to alpine temperature.
