Amazon Whispers
Picture By, Smart Hologram
Revenue Drivers:
Since
my product is technology related, the easiest way to start is a joint venture
with Apple. Apple has established a high quality standard, and is known for its
innovative products. My product is futuristic, and needs to be branded at the
same standard. However, my product is unknown. Therefore, customers don’t trust
it. Establishing equity financing and joint venture with Apple will be the
fastest way for financing and immediate trust in the brand. Besides Apple’s
part ownership in the venture, Angel Investors are another revenue driver. My
Angel Investors are: entrepreneurial, enthusiast, and professional. In return
for investing, they have a seat on my board of directors.
Next “Big” Thing:
The
next thing customers want is live interaction. Some customers can’t let go of
their smart devices. They are locked on it even in a social situation. When the
phone says, “bing!” They have to
check it. Let’s bring social back into the situation.
Product Enhancement:
This
object is a similar feature to the product that I’m offering. Ori is a type of
smart watch that will be able to use holograms as a form of communication. You
can set your personal hologram to a recording if you are unable to project
live. Your hologram will then be able to lip sync your text or phone call. This
existing product is on a much smaller scale, then what I’m offering. This
technology will definitely improve user experience.
Amazon Product:
The
product I found on Amazon that is close to the element I want to add to my
smart watch is called, Smart Hologram. It’s a universal 3d projection pyramid
that is compatible with all smartphones. It’s basically four transparent lenses
that can be shaped together to form a pyramid, and placed on top of your phone
for effects.
Customer Reviews:
Pros:
·
Novelty item for children.
·
It’s a cool gadget.
·
It creates a 3D image like it’s supposed
to.
Cons:
·
Customers want to use this on their
tablets, and they can’t because the device is too small.
·
It doesn’t impress adults.
·
It’s a flimsy piece of plastic.
Design Changes to Product:
I
would design this product on a larger scale. I would also create a mini
projection instead of the transparent lenses to create a more realistic effect.
This would be similar to how Atmosfearfx creates their illusions. It would
project out of the camera lens. This would hopefully increase interest in the
adult target market, as well as be used on any device.
New Product Change:
The
addition I would make to my current product would be the projection released through
the camera lens. This is something that I didn’t think about. My smart watch
would need to have an additional feature. Such as, the ability to take photos.
The camera lens would be built in the watch and centered upright. You can lift
your wrist to take quick photos. You will then be able to use the projection
upright on your wrist as well. Next would be the swiping feature. This is where
you would be able to swipe the hologram on another surface for a more
comfortable view if you’re not mobile.
Additional Product Offering:
This
product gave me ideas on how to build this awesome element into my smart
device. Although it wasn’t the device itself, it lead me to create something
better. I also forgot about the photo feature. Everyone likes to take pictures
on their phones now. The camera qualities are increasing on smart devices. This
is another nice element to add to my device.

Hi Brittany!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your post overall and think your idea is extremely creative. Holograms and other innovative technologies are definitely emerging markets of the future, and I think getting a head start on being the first in this industry is awesome. Your post was very well thought out, especially your pros and cons. I thought you found a product on Amazon that related well to your business concept, and tied everything together quite nicely. Great job overall!

ReplyDeleteI loved reading about your product. I've actually never heard of anything similar to this before. I think its great that you're thinking about the bigger picture. I think trying to partner with apple would be very beneficial. Good luck with your product! Check out my blog at: http://kprovey.blogspot.com/2016/03/amazon-whisperer.html
I think that this is a really fantastic idea! I enjoyed reading about it in your post because you have a lot of great information and it seems like you have done a lot of research. If it were me, I think that I would buy this product from you just because it seems so futuristic. Plus, with you having it backed by Apple it makes it seem much more reliable and like I can trust it, as you said. Great post! If you are interested in checking out my blog, here is the link:
