This document provides instructions for Assignment 7 to design an innovative timepiece. It asks students to be creative and design a timepiece that displays the time and date as a hologram projection on any surface. It also gives weather forecasts and can be used as a flashlight. The timepiece must be wearable, resistant to various environmental factors, and have a long-lasting battery. It should have simple, easy-to-use functions operated by two buttons with a non-cluttered design compatible with smartphones. The projection should be visible in the dark and interact with smartphones for an enjoyable user experience. Students are asked to compare their design to existing digital watches, projectors, smartphones, and fitness trackers. They then describe

- 2. CEN4722 Assignment 7 Instructions Assignment 7 - Page 343 & 344 Read through the assignment. Be creative!!!!! This is an innovative timepiece. If you cannot draw with PowerPoint either sketch out your timepiece and scan it or search online for something that that is close to what you are designing. I am not grading your artistic skills. You do not need to get more than one other opinion for Section a. Then use the template to respond to the questions posed. You may add slides to this presentation and include graphics and pictures, but please do not delete any of the slides.
- 3. CEN4722 Assignment 7 a What does it do? Displays time and date as a hologram projection against any surface Gives weather forecast Works as a flashlight Timepiece Requirements Wearable Resistant to heat and water Resistant to daily scratches and regular weather Long lasting battery
- 4. CEN4722 Assignment 7 a Usability Criteria Simple functions easy to learn Solid case Two buttons to operate the device Quick to use and no cluttered design Compatible with smart phone Alarm function User Experience Criteria Data can be seen in the dark Interactive with smart phone to make it fun and enjoyable Users with similar experience with other wristwatches can use it without much instruction or difficult explanation Devices functions are easy to remember when reusing it
- 5. CEN4722 Assignment 7 b Similar Devices Digital wristwatches Projectors Smart phones Fit-bit and other health related wrist devices What is good about them? Easy to use Modern Lot of options: varied colors, price, styles Customer service Digital Assignment 7 - Page 343 & 344
- 6. CEN4722 Assignment 7 c Your Device What does it do? 1. Displays time and date, and also exhibits the weather forecast in your area if requested, by projecting an image on any surface. 2. Depending on the distance from the reflecting surface the size of the image projected gets larger or smaller.
- 7. CEN4722 Assignment 3 b What is good about your device? What needs improvement? 1. The device is a black solid unit on the wrist that gives no indication about its use 2. Solid and durable, with no crystal pieces that could be broken easily 3. Projected image can be used as a flashlight in dark areas 4. Construction of wristwatch, usability and design make it a conversational piece between friends or general public 5. Battery is still an issue on digital devices, so probably the amount of power required to project the data could drain the battery life easily with heavy use. 6. With the miniaturization of technology, in the future it will be possible to increase the amount of data to display and use different colors for the image projected
