Interaction Design ESP32 Secret Agent Final Project
Above are the preliminary sketches of my imaginary prototype, an interaction diagram, and an in-depth state machine. My intended audience is secret agents that will need this gadget for special missions. This is an interactive prototype that needs activation for its intended functions to work. Hopefully, secret agents all over the world can utilize this gadget to successfully complete dangerous missions and take out bad guys.
This imaginary prototype is a secret agent gadget disguised as an average citizen watch. This gadget can be used for special-ops missions or self-defense. This watch is able to launch miniature missiles, spikes, a grappling hook, and make phone calls. It also has identity verification utilizing a fingerprint scanner to access the secret agent functions.
The ESP32 acts as an imaginary vessel of the watch, the LDR acts as the fingerprint scanner, and the button sets off the four different secret agent functions of the watch. With more time I also would have incorporated a potentiometer to control which mode you are in, whether it be missiles, spikes, grappling hook, or phone call. In theory, these facets would be implemented into the actual gadget and the processing sketch would be a real-life scenario; this is just the design prototype.
I made the assets for the processing sketch in Adobe Illustrator and designed them to fit a secret agent vibe. I believe the high-tech black background with neon green accents and a touch of red gives off a top-secret and important aura. As for the aesthetic of the ESP32, the switch, and LDR, I believe clean and simple gets the job done. It makes it so that the secret agent can quickly act accordingly based on which function they would need. Click here to access the processing sketch on the GitHub repository. Below is a video demo of the processing sketch communicating with the ESP32, to show how the interactivity works.
