Intention

For this Internet of Things exercise, I created a prototype intended to become a pair of pillows for long distance couples. In this day in age, due to increased globalization and need for traveling and working remotely. The person I interviewed was my girlfriend, Anko who recently began traveling for her career. A big pain point for Anko is the time we spend apart, and a sense of loneliness and isolation at night. At first, discussions surrounded ideas of redesigning and “enchanting” the bed, as it is where she spends her time resting, working, or watching tv. However, to do so would be overcomplicated, and the product not portable. Ultimately we decided that an enchanted pillow would be the best solution.
