JOGGER WATCH
What is transportation?
How does one transport oneself? Why do we move? And how does the integration of a navigation device improve the way we move around?
We have vehicles that can take us places - busses, cars, trains, boats, bicycles, etc...but we also have our own two feet. Where do we walk? Where do we run? And why? What are people curious about, and what do people desire to do on foot?
Our team decided to create an interface for a watch that would be specific for the avid runner/athlete. We wanted to devise a touchscreen watch that included a GPS system that could help guide a runner along a pre-set route, that could collect information to be uploaded to an online profile log, as well as provide a runner with neccesary information relevant to enhancing a runner's experience.
We wanted to stray away from the typical runner's watch, and focus on developing something more lightweight with a larger screen that would be quickly viewable while en route to a destination. The runner's watch would be made with an FOLDED touchscreen screen, and would include various vibration sensor modes that would indicate direction changes or encouragement to continue a challenging run.
