A watch for mountaineers [STUDENT PROJECT]
Posted: Fri Jan 10, 2014 1:02 am
Hello all,
I am Pascal, 3rd year crossmedia student at the AKI (Art Academy in Enschede, the Netherlands). I have got a school assignment where I need to find a group hobbyists / enthusiasts and together find a way to improve the way they enjoy and partake in their hobbies.
Product Design:
The idea is to design a watch/smart computer for mountaineers and climbers. This watch will provide specific information about the mountain you want to climb, upcoming weather conditions and will help being more safe.
The Product:
It is a watch, with digital display and camera build- in.
The watch will display
- Multiple routes;
- Difficulty per route;
- Additional information about the route
- Compass;
- Altimeter;
- Weather and upcoming weather conditions
Technical challenges
- Let GPS, 3D map data, compass and camera work together to create virtual vision when there is no vision (night, snow etc).
Later on I will post visual support.
I am very interested in hear your opinions, so we can co-create.
Thanks in advance,
Pascal
