Our Proposal

Need: which problem(s) does your proposal solve?

Many times peoples, and more specifically workers, find themselves in a position where they cannot move around but still the want some things do be done in a remote place. This can be achieved, for instance, by using a voice activation (like Alexa). However, in a working environment the noice is a factor that may interfere with voice activation systems. Thus, a solution should be found.

Approach: how does your project solve the problem(s)?

Our approach uses a "magic wand" that can remotely access different part of a working environment. Imagine a scenario where a worker uses gloves and therefore he cannot use a tablet to interact with various systems. In that case, by simply point the wand to specific direction, he can moves several parts of his working environment remotely.

Alternatives: what other alternatives could solve the problem(s)?

Alternatives of the wand could be a smart watch or even a myo sensor.

Benefits: what are the benefits of your proposal?

Our proposal could assist people in scenarios where their movements are limited

Advantage: what gives your project the competitive edge?

Right now most of the "remotely access" devices use tablets to be connected. Our approach removes the necessity and replacing by using more handful devices.

Prospective Partners: what might you expect from prospective project partners?

Partners should be able to create a "wand" that can be attached to working clothes and therefore a worker doesn't need to care about moving it with him.
