Second Proposal- Marvin Clarke

1 User: Identify the user, based on the target user group.

The user is drivers. The drivers can vary by age but the main target is car drivers. Most of the problems occur with drivers such as cars minivans, small truck and jeeps.

2 Context: Describe context or situation in which the problem exists

The problem that drivers have is finding parking. Parking in certain areas such as Midtown Manhattan is very limited because of the size of the parking lots and since there’s limited space people would have to argue with other drivers to control space that is available to them which adds more stress on the driver. Expensive parking fares in those lots can add to the stress because they realize that they would have to pay different prices that takes a toll in the driver’s pocket.

3 Motivation: Describe an incident or condition that motivates the use of the solution.

Parking spaces are limited and we need to enlarge the space so that all cars are abe to park in any lot they please. We also need to lessen the cost of these parking lots so its easier to enter the lot. This Eliminates a lot of problems in parking.

4 Solution: Show how they access and use the solution to address their need.

To increase parking spaces we have to build a large parking lot with levels so its easier to park. They should also make an app that is linked to google that allows drivers to see which lot has space is available and if its not available then it will recalculate and find somewhere else. To lessen the cost of the parking lot we should have a car where you can scan and it will recognize how many times you used it and you can pay it off one time instead of paying each time you go into a parking lot.

5 Outcome: Describe the outcome of the situation – the payoff, the problem solved, and the happy user.

The driver are going to become stress free when they are looking for parking spaces because they would not have to argue with other drivers for a parking space. They also do not have to worry about paying high prices in each parking lot they enter. With these solutions they would make drivers calm when driving and allow them to enjoy their day without worrying about someone interrupt their space since the space is large enough to fit in.

First Proposal- Double Reality- Marvin Clarke

2. Double Reality is a wearable design

3. People are usually asked β€œ What are your plans for the future?” or β€œβ€What do want to be when you get older?” and the answers varies. People sometimes have dreams of what their future would look like but they never have a clear memory of what they have seen so I want to create a virtual reality that looks like stylish glasses where people are able to see their future in their eyes. In this reality you get to visualize the future that you have dreamt of and you also get to experience every movement and other aspects in the world. Double Reality allows the user to get a glimpse into what your future might look like because this device will use inputs from the user itself and their dreams. This device is inspired by oculus riift projects and it is different from any other device is that the glass is something you can wear as regular glasses for everyday use and when you feel like using the device you can press a button on the deivce and you will get to see what the future holds.
