Why is it called Compass H2O?
We’ve agreed to keep the name Compass H2O (and not take on an entire rebranding) even though our use case has evolved. We’ve also agreed not to confuse our brief presentation with talk of hydration sensors. But someone might still ask, Why is it called Compass H2O? Here’s a possible response, see what you think…

Warhol in NYC
Scenario
Joseph, Susan, Vivia, Sharon & I metup at Art Center (main campus) today and worked on our WearableTechLA presentation from about Noon – 6pm.
A scenario we developed was Walking New York City with Andy Warhol. The Silver Factory where he was shot… Max’s Kansas City where his relationship with Edie Sedgwick ended… the street where he ran in to Keith Haring chalking on the asphalt.
Here are a few Warhol in NYC waypoints:

Ephemeral Wayfinding – concept
The Sublime
If you’re looking for a place here on earth, or up in the heavens, Stonehenge cannot begin to compete with Google Maps.
Yet for all its technical superiority, few people have profound spiritual experiences using Google Maps, while Stonehenge has provided exactly that for the last five thousand years. More: 419 words & 2 images >>

Here is the new user case from Susan:
Problem: The Google map doesn’t work in small scope.
For example, the Google map can’t guide you the route in a mall when you want to find a specific store. It is troublesome to refer to signs and still maps in the mall. This case can also apply to hospital, Disneyland, botanical garden, a trade show etc.
Solution: You set your destination on the map of the building or zone on your smart phone. Our compass can guide you accurately where you want to go without holding your phone. (Even if you hold your phone, you phone still can’t tell you to go upstairs or downstairs.But compass can.)

Compass H2O: ephemeral wayfinding
Our lives are dominated by the relentless need to get From Point A to Point B. It’s necessary in a fast-paced, deadline-driven world. But it’s both unhealthy and unsatisfying to never stop and smell the roses.
Ephemeral Wayfinding is an invitation to wander, to linger, to loiter, to be a 21st century flâneur.
Compass H2O is a wrist worn compass that enables you to experience a place with another person: More: Team Bios & Hirez Images >>

- Perfect the prototype and make it in working condition.
- Revise the presentation PowerPoint.
- Prepare and present.

Judges' Feedback
XWD @ MDP jurors Christian Denhart, Eric Lewallen, Marcus Filipovich, Anne Burdick & Maggie Hendrie, announce the awards!
I had a chance to see a video of the XWD awards presentation on the MDP rooftop. I’m not posting it here as it was a private video. I’ll add it if it becomes public. We pretty much know what happened anyway, but what was interesting about this replay was that 3 teams got awards, but only 1 team got Award + Critique: us!

Thanks for the WearableTechLA schedule Sharon! So the 3 teams have 5 minutes each, or maybe more like 4 minutes to get their whole pitch out!
Yes, awesome job Susan!! 🙂

Syuzi said they might just provide a location for each team to display the product with a poster with introduction. We may not need to present.
Let’s wait for her email for the final confirmation.-

Ekin told me they won’t present their work at wearable tech LA.

Wearable Tech LA is the first Entertainment and Health Wearable conference held in Los Angeles. Attending Wearable Tech LA will give you an opportunity to meet and collaborate with the best of Hollywood, Music, and Sports including leaders from the NBA, NFL, NHL, and others.
According to International Data Corporation, wearables will be the fastest-emerging category and become a $12B industry in 2018. You’ll also get the inside track from industry leaders on wearables, a first look at emerging wearable computing, watch fast track pitches from 15 startups and network with top VCs, angels, large corporation (e.g. GoPro, Intel, Samsung, adidas, Qualcomm, Google, etc.) and thought leaders.Key highlights:
World’s First Wearable Entertainment and Health conference in LA
Cocktail reception & wearable showcase
400-500 attendees
Top celebrities from Hollywood, Music and Sports
20 dynamic keynotes, 50 speakers and 15 startups pitching their products – 3 winners to be announced.
Panel discussion with thought leaders in the wearable entertainment and spaces

I think we definitely need to meet up at least once before July 17. We can set up a meeting and talk about the feedback we got. I’m free anytime after Wednesday, but my finals are coming soon. I understand Susan and Vivia might have hard time to meet up, but we will try our best.

Oh, Allia / Ekin won’t present? That’s a shame. We didn’t hear anything from Courtney / MDP this week. But next week I hope they’ll give us some info on WTLA. As Sharon said above, it might be more of a “Poster Session” than “Presentation.”
The judges feedback is kind of funny – they liked the quality of our build, but didn’t like it on the wrist, and didn’t like the water finding use case as much as wayfinding. So they sort of said, “we love your work, now throw it away and start over”! 😛
The answer to the 1st 1/2 of that, off the wrist might be that we aren’t going to have time to develop that before the 17th, even if we wanted to?
The use case though is mostly presentation rather than engineering to do now, so we could develop that if we wanted to.
For meeting F2F, Mon-Wed-Fri are a little better for me, but my schedule is flexible ATM, so I can probably work out any day that works for others. I’m happy going up to Art Center, or wherever we like. You’re all welcome at my place in Rosemead, too.
We probably can’t get all 8 of us together, but as many of us as want to / are able to, would be great. And we can also discuss here on the website, or we could do a Google Video Hangout.
Thanks Joseph!
