Final Project Proposal

Project Ideation

1- Tell us about the purpose of your project. Which problem does it solve? Why do you care about this? What were you inspired by? Include images and videos of similar projects

Night Watcher (Motion Tracking Light)


Watcher Ablique :

Motion Tracking light is an exterior and interior lighting element. It could be used outside home to reflect safety for residents and warn them from any danger burglars. In addition it could be used inside houses as it is used to turn on/off when someone is available at the room which saves energy. Plus, it turns 180 or 240 degrees in order to track the motion within 3 meters distance from the lighting unit which will make it sufficient instead of using many lighting units, but instead it will focus light wherever the user of the space is standing.

2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?

Phase one : The shape will be sliding and rotating 180 degrees which means that it will be dynamic and with flexable fixation.

Phase Two: there will be a remote control which will control it manually to turn on/ off, rotate it in any direction.

Phase three: it will have motion sensor to recognize either there is someone in the room, the action will be turning the light off/on in order to save energy.

Phase four: it will track the motion of the space user in 3 meters distance in order to light his way and spot light on him while reading or else.

Phase five: the intensity of light is controlable either through the remote control or through the day time (timer which is pre adjusted using mobile application) or through voice recognition.

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.

  • Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration

  • Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision

  • Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish

Minimum User Features
