• What will it do?

REMEMBER2 is a wearable device that is programmable to sparkle at intervals to remind the wearer to...

step away from the computer, stay on task, exercise, etc. It doubles as a wearable flash light and/or safety light (for biking, etc.).

• Who has done it beforehand?

Other wearable electronic bracelets/cuffs:

EMBRACE

WAVE WRISTBAND

iWATCH

RINGBOW

AIR TATTOO 

• What materials and components will be required and where will they come from?

Prototype 1: Poly Plastic Sheet, Conductive thread, Velcro, CR2032 coin battery + sewable battery holder, LEDs.

• How much will it cost?

Prototype 1: Cost: $60.00

• What parts and systems will be made?

Parts that will be made: Cuff (top and bottom), soft circuit, connector switch.

• What processes will be used?

Prototype I: Digital design (Inkscape), foldable tessalations, laser cut components (cuff and fasteners), sewable circuit.

• What tasks need to be completed?

Prototype 1: Prototype completed.

Prototype 2 tasks to be completed include: design of small microprocessor and compact power source that won't be bulky or burdensome.

• What questions need to be answered?

How to create a well designed, programmable, wearable electronic with components that fit into the cuff design & high functionality with regular use.

• What is the schedule?

Prototype 2 to be completed by or before December 1, 2013.

• How will it be evaluated?

Evaluation criteria include design desirability, comfort, multiple functions.
