Interactive Location Based Communication - Tentative Project Brief
Opportunity
- Eyes are too focused on devices, and not enough on the environments around them
- leads to accidents and injuries
- People are interacting more with devices, and less with people
- eyes out of environments, not aware of people/actions around them
- Location based services under utilized
- GPS and other location based technologies have great potential to deliver information to users
- interactive games such as geocaching show great promise with the use of location based services
- Interaction with devices is limited
- fingers and thumbs are the furthest extent
- Incorporate the great technologies that already exist with mobile devices
- enable Bluetooth, GPS, and mobile internet to deliver new interactions for the users
- People constantly following same routines
- possibilities to use these routines to deliver relevant information to aid users in their everyday lives
Measures of Success
- Moving people out of their devices and allowing them to interact with their environments
- Allowing the environments where a user interacts to deliver information, rather than the users having to search for such information such as through smartphone apps
- Enabling other areas of the body to allow for interaction with devices / environment
- Deliver a product that combines existing technology to deliver a holistic solution to how users interact with their devices
Proposed Solutions
- an accessory that uses technology to allow for GPS and smartphone use without forcing people into smartphone prayers
- a device which uses GPS as a personal data organizer, keeping in mind time and location
- a device which enables an emotional element to interacting to a device using voice to text and other technologies
