IIDEX Caulking Gun 2

Developer: Brenda
Canadian Innovation: Caulking Gun

 
Challenge: Making it easier for an individual who may be of an older age, with less strength or gets easily frustrated with complex devices.
Solution: Redesigning the caulking to be electronic and eliminates the use of manual labour of pressing. Buttons will light up based on the next step that needs to be taken. The caulking is released when the button is pressed and stops when released by the thumb. The design will help eliminate leakage and make the process of disassembly easier.

 
By placing numbers to show which step comes first when using the caulking gun, eliminates most confusion about the process as well it will be complemented with a manual.
Persona: James, 78 years old, who is very forgetful with the goal of redesigning the caulking gun
