Students were assigned to create a concept for both an app and a device that could connect to the internet and the application for functionality. This device, also known as an Internet of Things (IoT) device, needs to have some functionality alongside the app as well as a webpage to advertise it. Students needed to present this concept through a pitch slide deck that included the IoT’s purpose, demographics, and potential users. Students were asked to create a prototype with the online program Figma.

For this project, I created a concept that would be relevant for entertainment purposes. The IoT device is a small plate that includes LED lights on it. This plate would be utilized for roleplaying games such as Dungeons and Dragons. The device and application would help players keep track of certain character stats while playing. The device would also include ways to help run the game smoothly and store digital character sheets. The fictional company that is tied to this product concept is called GearQuest.
