Concept 1: Mirror Mirror

A Facial Scanning Mood Identification Mirror:
 CONCEPT: 
The idea is to create a mirror which can read peoples emotions with a built in facial recognition scanner. The mirror will scan your face and then set mood lighting according to your mood. The aim is to either improve or maintain the clients mood during and after use.

 WHY?:
I was looking at the future of human design and wearable technologies that may become possible while living in Industry 4.0 and decided to look into the possible medical opportunities that may come from this era. The mirror would have to be amplified with Artificial Intelligence to be able to look at a human and read their cognitive data and their emotions. Once the mirror has done this it will then have a back lit glow depending on the mood it reads you as, this will then engulf the room it is based in and hopefully soothe the user. The target audience for this project is for teenagers and young children who struggle with mental health problems, it could be used with a therapist, councillor or even at home for personal use. 

LOGO DESIGNS:
'Mirror Mirror' will be the name of the product, with a short tag line, and the play on words, which makes the familiar phrase 'Mirror Mirror on the wall...'. This was done to create a friendly and incising image for the audiences, for an approachable feel. I created different a few different logos which help clearly show the idea of the project.

Concept 4 - Fit Me

I have designed a fitness app which allows you to compete in a race to reach your own personal goal against your family and friends. The first one to reach their own goal wins a different reward every time. These can be new avatar hairstyles, clothing or shoes. You can create your own avatar and it will change size to go along with your weight loss progress. The more rounds you win, the better you can make it look. This can make exercise be seen in a new light, with a competitive edge therefor helping its users enjoy something which is usually a strenuous task. Players can use their creativity to personalise the app and accomplish their tasks.  Graphicgata (2018).  Free IPhone X Screen Mockup .

Industry 4.0

The 'Industrial Revolution' is a term we have all heard before, but what about 'Industry 4.0'? The evolution of technologies has been a steady process since the 18th century and there are 4 main stages of the industrial revolution, and we are now in the 4th, this is where the term 'Industry 4.0' comes from. "The evolution of technology from the most recent industrial age to the technology era" (T,A, 2018). Telukdarie points out that in the height of new technologies we are still finding it hard to fully determine what it actually means to be part of the next stage of the industrial revolution therefore stating it is an evolution, a process that is still happening.  Gilchrist shares a similar theory towards 'Industry 4.0' as Telukarie. He suggests that the idea of it isn't actually that new, "Industry 4.0, like so many new technologies in the Century, is not a new concept; it is more a rebirth of an older concept...
