Week 4 Concept sketches and explanation

Summary of Concept changes
Sixth Scent
Bracelet, with built in sound level meter that also recognizes certain sounds by comunicating with sensors placed in strategic locations. When the sensors picks up on a specific sound they talk to the bracelet that releases fragrance. The bracelet can produce three different scents, each meaning something different.

Scenarios:
E.g. one sensor can be placed near the door bell, and if someone rings the bell, the bracelet releases a small dose of fragrance in to the air. This is very useful for users that are def or def and blind. There are aids made to let def users know the doorbell is ringing, but this is then done through vibration. However this bracelet doesn't have to be directly on the user. Creates a pleasant information system.
The bracelet can also be linked to your computer, letting the user know they've got mail, without being intruding.

The user may chose own scents according to preferences.
