The COVID-19 pandemic has killed so many people globally. Nowadays, protecting gears like a face mask, sanitizer has become a necessity in our daily life. Particularly, a thermometer is the most important product at this moment that able to measures invisible and potential risks to protect you and your loved ones from danger.

The project developed from the findings of the best grip of the usage. It started with a simple cylinder design.
