Week 17 - It Works!

In a week filled with determination and perseverance, we moved on in two parallel tracks, we aimed to make significant strides with our smart box and bracelets.


Designing the Smart Box

After meticulous size planning and careful consideration of kitchen constraints, we reached a breakthrough in our smart box development. With unwavering determination, we finalized the size and design, creating a high-fidelity prototype. This milestone marked a significant turning point, giving us a tangible product to work with. To enhance its functionality, we integrated LED lights into the smart box, allowing for a more intuitive user experience.


Smart Box and Bracelets Integration

One of our primary goals was to establish seamless connectivity between the smart box and the bracelets. This endeavor proved to be a challenging task that required countless hours of experimentation and troubleshooting. However, our hard work paid off, and we successfully achieved a breakthrough. Finally, the smart box and bracelets were able to establish a reliable connection through a touch interface. This accomplishment brought us closer to our vision of creating a cohesive ecosystem of smart kitchen devices.


Challenges with Bracelet Development

While we celebrated our success with the smart box, the development of the bracelets presented its own set of challenges. We found ourselves grappling with confusion and indecision, unsure of the right path to take. To gain clarity and valuable insights, we conducted several usability tests. These tests helped us understand the limitations and shortcomings of our initial concept of bracelets with another object on top of it. In the end, we decided to keep moving with the fully wearable-band concept only.




Embracing New Directions

Armed with the feedback from our usability tests, we made the tough decision to bid farewell to the on-object concept of the bracelets. Acknowledging the importance of adaptability and user comfort, we shifted our focus towards a fully wearable band. This strategic decision not only addressed the usability concerns but also opened up new possibilities for integrating additional features and functionalities into the band.

Time to say goodbye :(



Pushing Forward with Determination

As the week came to a close, our team embraced a renewed sense of determination and commitment. We recognized that the path to innovation was filled with twists and turns, but we remained undeterred. Equipped with a functional smart box and a clear vision for the fully wearable band, we set our sights on the next phase of development. Our journey was far from over, but the progress made during this week served as a testament to our resilience and unwavering pursuit of excellence.
