Wearable Technology Submission Requirements
When submitting to the Wearable Technology Design Competition keep in mind that your submission will be evaluated on multiple dimensions, your wearable technology is judged together with its miniaturization, compactness, user experience, interface and packaging. Applicants should send high-resolution images of the wearable technology, showing the product from multiple angles, together with a textual presentation of their work. Main image is especially important and should either be an isolated image on white background or a highly professional photograph. In addition to images, product brochures, catalogs, case-studies, user manuals, setup instructions and maintenance guides could further be uploaded as support documents.
Item | Dimensions | Format | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Main Image Required |
JPEG | The Key Visual should capture the essence of the wearable technology with a high-resolution image that emphasizes its design and functionality. A neutral background is ideal to ensure the focus remains on the wearable device, highlighting its form and features without distraction. If the technology integrates seamlessly into clothing or accessories, a professional photograph demonstrating this integration may be more effective in conveying the design's innovative nature. | |
Optional Image 1 Required |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 1 shall display the wearable technology in various states or environments, illustrating its versatility. Whether it's different wearing modes, color options, or integration with various apparel, this image should communicate the adaptability of the technology to potential users. A composite image that presents these variations can offer a comprehensive view of the product's flexibility. |
Optional Image 2 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 2 must zoom in on a unique feature or detail that sets the wearable technology apart. A close-up shot that reveals the texture, material quality, or a specific technological innovation can draw attention to the craftsmanship and advanced design. This visual should invite viewers to appreciate the intricate details that enhance the user experience. |
Optional Image 3 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 3 needs to place the wearable technology in its intended context, showing how it interacts with the user and the environment. A realistic setting that reflects everyday use can help viewers envision the product in their own lives. The image should balance the product's presence with its surroundings to highlight usability and design harmony. |
Optional Image 4 Recommended |
72 DPI |
JPEG | Showcase Image 4 ought to depict the wearable technology in action, focusing on user interaction and the technology's impact on daily activities. An image capturing a moment of engagement, such as checking a smartwatch while exercising or adjusting a wearable health monitor, can demonstrate the practical benefits and ease of use. |
Documentation PDF Document Highly Optional |
A4 Page Size |
Documentation should include detailed explanations of the wearable technology's features, design process, and user benefits. Technical specifications, diagrams, and user testimonials can enrich the submission, providing insight into the innovation and thought behind the design. Concise yet comprehensive, this material should support the visuals by delving into the technology's functionality and advantages. | |
Video Video / Audio File Highly Optional |
AVI | The video should offer a dynamic representation of the wearable technology, showcasing its features and benefits through a narrative or demonstration. It might include user scenarios, the design process, or the technology in action, providing an immersive experience that complements the still images.
