WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY

A platform for urban navigation

User need

To externalise map data so the need for mobile screen based navigation is no longer needed.

A way to relieve boredom while waiting for prolonged periods of time.

Approach Create a fun way to relieve boredom in set periods

of time. Determine places of interest within 100m.

Hands free approach to mobile navigation.

Create a product that can act as a platform for other applications and further development.

What functions of your product concept did you want to prototype and why.

The navigation feedback.

Selecting Categories to search

Application connectivity to determine best places to go

How did you implement the functionality in your prototype

Through paper prototyping I have represented LEDs as indicators of state changes, distance and direction. And button categories.

Layout

Storyboard

What remains to be done

Further research into the design and functions.

User research

Research technical implementation further.

Build a working prototype.
