First Iteration of Concept

We began be re-evaluating out team direction to focus on a more personal direction.

Inital refinement of the Team KiCK iT direction.

After conducting some intial user research into communication within a household, we discovered that the most important types of communication to family memebers were personal and face-to-face communication. We decided that our direction for team kick it would focus on a product that facilitated emotional and spontaneous communication through the sharing of audio and video information.

We proposed to create a network of products which we call KiCK TeCH. The KiCK TeCH network is comprised of: recording/viewing devices that a member of the family or multiple family members could use to record, send and edit information; and a home unit that would store information as well as provide a base for charging and viewing media.

The purpose of this device is to provide a tool for emotional connection and the sharing organization and of experiences. KiCK TeCH also strives to be useful, purposeful, and avoid becoming another technological "gadget" by allowing for usablility adaption in "the real world" and providing the efficiency of G3 technology.
