  1. Peripheral Vision Phone Peter Rodrigues

  2. Purpose • To increase the safety and awareness of individuals that use their phones to text while walking or completing an activity. • I felt that it was necessary to make a phone that enhances the user’s peripheral vision.

  3. Scenario • Before Katie walks to school, she checks the weather on her phone to decide what coat she should wear. Using the colorful weather map on her phone she decides it will be rainy so she should wear a rain jacket. As she begins to walk to school, she decides to text her friend about a project that is due today. She switches her phone from the ‘normal’ function to the ‘mobile’ function. This changes the transparent glass screen from an all color display to a clear screen with a simplistic bright blue display. The transparent screen permits greater visibility as to where she is walking. Additionally, she holds her head higher because the phone rests in her hands at about a 60 degree angle due to the bottom heavy features of the phone. This promotes her peripheral vision and overall safety from the early morning traffic. She sends her text which prompts her with the message “Sent” and the phone reverts back to its mobile capabilities of making a phone call, typing a text and receiving a text.

  11. Usability Study • User A felt that the weight of the phone was too disproportionate. • User B liked the idea of a transparent screen to allow the ability to view where you are walking. • User C thought that the design was well thought out but it would not sell.
