Susan, Vivia, Joseph, Sharon & I metup in the Art Center College of Design (main campus) Cafatera from about noon-6p today to work on our presentation for WearableTechLA on Thursday. We weren’t able to reconsider our hardware solution, but we did take the opportunity to consider the Extreme Wearable Designathon Judge’s advice to move past the Find Water use case, and think more about Wayfinding.
We developed an Ephemeral Wayfinding scenario and created presentation slides. I got to live out my lifelong dream of being a Wearable Tech Hand Model! Here are some images from our day:

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:

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.

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:

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!
