Initial ideas

We held a brainstorming session to come up with several ideas about the project. Some of them were not that great, but nevertheless contributed to the final decision to be made. The initial ideas were as follows:
  • An anti gravity chair that would help old people move around easily without steps or any other obstacles getting in their way.
  • An operating system with suitable applications that small children can use and understand easily.
  • A motion tracking pen that helps children to spell.
After much talk, we decided to stick with the third idea. The idea is to have a motion tracking pen that spells out words spoken to it. The pen spells out a letter at a time and waits for the user to write a letter. If the letter written is the correct one, the pen will spell out the next letter in the word. If the letter is not the correct one, the pen will prompt the user to write it again. It is aimed towards small children that just learn to spell.
