Opportunity
- Generation Y are becoming mentally disconnected with their surroundings
- This causes their face to face interaction skills to deteriorate
- There are many examples of large group events where little or no communication takes place between people
- Organizing group events takes many messages or phone calls which can eat away at the user's cell phone plan
- It is hard to locate or contact friends when they are in a group setting, often with loud music
- People often communicate around a device such as a computer or cell phone, using the device to facilitate interactions
Measures of Success
- People will not miss out on social interactions and will be encouraged to interact with those around them
- Organizing a large group will be made more intuitive
- It will be easier to find friends in all types of environments, such as at parties, in transit and when it is inappropriate for them to respond in a text message or phone call
- Cell phone communication with friends will be made easier without the need for an expensive data plan
Proposed Solutions
- Wearable devices can make it easier to communicate with people without blocking out your surrounding environment
They can also monitor body systems and give emotional information to friends or to your device
- Different ways of mapping friends and possibly their emotional state can lead to communicating easier, without excluding you from your environment
