SCENARIOS - Group I

After two brainstorming sessions, we came up with a number of concepts. The next stage was to illustrate our concepts in a clearer/ more lucid scenario with sketches and key points. The following are few the concepts with sketches and explanations.

'Sarva' Wallah

Order groceries from your homes in no time at all and have it delivered at your doorstep. Cuts down the hassles of having to deal with several service provides and has one man - the sarva wallah taking care of all your needs and connected to you through a device, letting you place orders to him directly.

Naya wallah

Alerts the people in their homes through some device when the grocer's cart passes through the street. Speakers for calling out to the customers and display boards for advertisements on the cart. Pre-packed and checked vegetables/ milk/ eggs etc.,

Digital Post-Its

Based on post-its, these have a touch screen display with stylus which lets you write reminders and set alerts. When there are no alerts, the display reverts to a picture of your choice. Bluetooth/ USB options to upload images.

Travel Mate

As the name suggests, it's a device to aid travellers/ tourists who visit our country. Maps, airpots, railway stations, roads, hotels, audio info on monuments, music, camera, memory space for storing the pictures....an all encompassing device to aid the traveller. Also print the pictures taken during the trip or burn onto a CD.
