Hello, Team 16! We have refined, deepened, and integrated the three initial proposals you selected. This enables the device to functionally integrate the needs for companionship, entertainment, health, and safety, eliminating the burden of multiple devices. Scenically, it covers home, gatherings, and outings to ensure connectivity anytime, anywhere. Emotionally, it has evolved from mere entertainment to a combination of family cultural inheritance, health care, and in-depth interaction—truly alleviating the loneliness of the elderly and intergenerational alienation, and becoming a core carrier for emotional bonds within the family.

Next, I will give an introduction to this design.

This design has been iterated based on the refined plan we confirmed earlier, with a core focus on addressing the pain points of target users—particularly targeting the elderly’s social and entertainment needs and family intergenerational interaction scenarios. I will elaborate from four dimensions: design goals, core functions, scenario adaptation, and emotional value, allowing everyone to fully understand how this design implements the initial objectives we set.

Design Background & Goals

With the core goals of “alleviating the loneliness of the elderly, strengthening intergenerational bonds, and adapting to the physical and usage habits of the elderly”, this combined scheme deeply integrates the advantages of three solutions: the retro wooden interactive game box, the mini-projection companion necklace, and the intelligent voice interactive device. Through “functional complementarity, scenario coverage, and unified experience”, it creates a comprehensive device that combines practicality and emotional warmth.

Existing Technical Support

We have searched for some existing technologies that can support this design on various software.

Targeting the original shortcomings of the three schemes, the integrated solution has been optimized in a targeted manner:

  • Projection Technology: Adopts mature micro-projection chips + auto-focus to solve issues of visibility and precision, with battery life extended to 8 hours.
  • Safety & Durability: Eliminates complex mechanical structures (e.g., telescoping frames) to avoid pinching hazards; the main device is wrapped in soft material, and the projection module features dual-fixation.
  • Privacy Protection: The camera is reversible, and it is covered when not in use. Additionally, the memory library (as mentioned earlier) employs end-to-end encryption for data transmission, and access to the memory library is restricted exclusively to authorized family members.
