Smart screen user interface. The design and the features it holds

image

TransportHub – this feature is one that I think is the most beneficial and useful. This feature collects information from reliable sources to ensure that you get the most accurate information. This feature is beneficial to the user by providing all the information they need before leaving home.

WeatherHub – just general updates on weather reports. Using GPS location to provide accurate information.

Emails – stream your emails to the smart screen.

Voice control – There’s also an option to have all recent updates on weather email etc read out to you, using a voice control system, so you can shower and still get your daily update whilst saving time.

News&socialHub – This feature allows the user to have a dual feed screen, where they can add, swap and experiment with all their favourite news and social media providers.

MusicHub – make playlists, discover new music, something to listen to.

Calendar – usual calendar, add special dates or work rotate, connect it with your Facebook to get all your events in one place.

Camera – I’ve added the camera to mimic a mirror, with auto w/b etc, use it as a mirror or for a quick selfie.

Settings – This is where my users can personalise their interface to their preferences. 

Browser – I’ve added a browser feature, google search engine. I think the internet is so involved with our lives that it would all most be strange not to include a browser tool. This feature is for general internet uses.

Timer – this feature allows the user to set timers, we all lose track of time in the shower from time to time.

Project 3: my research: existing products

Here are a few products that I found on the current market that are supposedly encouraging healthy eating. I like the design and ethos of most of them however a few of them are boring and dull and wouldn’t encourage me to eat healthier, in my opinion the product needs to be bold and bright or sleek and simple looking.

I really like the aesthetics of the “Misto” product which is a product that sprays oil to reduce over saturation on oil.
Here are a few apps I found on the market at the moment.

Some of these apps are good and helpful however they don’t included features that I want to add to my app design Which is a good sign that my design has found a gap in the market
