HCI Project 2007

HCI 2 is a module at the Computer Science school at the University of Birmingham. The HCI Project 2007 blog is the place where the team will discuss ideas and processes involved in developing a 'useful piece of technology' for our target audience - children <= 11 years old.

Case: CyberDisplay

Found an interesting piece of technology currently being used in a kids toy called The Spy Video Car. The device is basically a remote controlled car, but the difference is that the child wears a headset that receives images wirelessly from a camera mounted on the front of the car. The user can drive the car in day or night conditions up to 75ft away.

More information about the technology behind the CyberDisplay can be found on the website (link below). I thought it might be useful to consider available 'trendy' technologies that kids would really enjoy using - apparently the toy was very well received at the International Toy Fair. Depending on the idea we eventually decide on, having a CyberDisplay may be something we can look into.
