A wearable device that works alongside an alarm system

We designed a wearable device that works alongside an alarm system that temporarily immobilises offenders when it is set off.

Our device warns the users with a vibration and an LED that the alarm is about to be activated so that they can prepare themselves accordingly. Users can also set off the alarm or deactivate it directly from the wearable.

Designed for the corporate environment, the small device has different attachment points and can be worn either on the wrist, a key card, or hanging off a belt loop.

Approach

First, we worked with the client during the design phase to establish their needs and work out a concept, then we did all of the interaction and industrial design for the product, in addition to the electronic engineering, programming and prototyping.
