Week 5: Input and Output

So, we have come such a long way in this project of the HEAT jacket I just can not wait longerr for you guys to try it!! One thing I have my eye on is a new digital camera which will not only help me with advertising and promotion pictures but also I am planning on making a "behind the scence" video of my and all my co-workers to have on tape all of our ideas and crazy moments we have had through out this unbelievable journey. I am going to have to check out the megapixels required for all that activity I am planning on doing with the new camera, also the print sizes and their differences. 

Another cool thing I learned about this week was the voice recognition technology Google is working with now, I know it is a long shot but imagine if the jacket would recognize your voice and you could just say the temperature you want and the jacket would adjust it to your preferences, that would be awsome!! but lets not get ahead of ourselves I am still working on designing the first rough product! Also a new gadget I have my eye on is the RFID tags!! RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. They are like a automatic kind of barcode but even more accurate, they have a unique item level, they do not require the line of sight, they can scan multiple items, and they have a data storage up to several kBs!!! For advertising that would be awesome, like in the winter to have them in the bus stops or even in classrooms and the libraries, so people can scan it and learn what HEAT jackets are all about!! Plus they are cheap!!

So guys all the things I have been learning in ITS are paying of and hopefully you will be able to enjoy all these advantages soon! I just finished playing with Photo-Shop where I could try to make a prototype of what I want it to look like and maybe even get your guys feedback!! so stay tuned to HEAT jackets because only great things are coming your way!! Give me feedback about how it is going so far and how I can improve my idea!! I will keep updating you guys week by week!! take care!
