Concept map

Take your idea/concept and do research to find out where it fits in the world of research (how is your idea different than what already exists in that genre) and develop/build a concept map.

My focus will be on doing digital work outdoors and/or not at a desk.

Existing related areas of research that exist today include:

  • Better display technology, including e-ink displays, which are clearer outdoors and require less electricity (also making it more suitable for outdoor devices)
  • Watches, smart clothing, and other wearables, which would free our hands and eliminate the need for us to carry a heavy device.
  • Augmented Reality, which gives us a way of interacting with the real world (albeit through our screens) rather than a simulated world.
