DESIGN NAME: COGITO™ POP
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Bluetooth Connected Watch
INSPIRATION: First and foremost, the COGITO POP watch is a fun and trendy designer watch. Why? Because let’s face it, most young people don't want to wear a bulky watch, or some technological gadgets that they can’t use. They want something that fits their style and their budget.
The COGITO POP watch is specially designed for younger customers. Its color and design are attractive to teens, athletic and active folks who want a trendy watch. Moreover, the MSRP is low enough to fit in most young people’s budgets.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The COGITO POP is designed specifically for teenagers and young socially active adults who need to know RIGHT NOW when they receive a notification. Therefore, it is equipped with four unique brightly colored LEDs that light-up when you receive a notification while also alerting you through a vibration and sound.
Furthermore, COGITO POP is equipped with an intuitive new Tap to Act™ contextual interface driven by a smart accelerometer system. Tap to Act™ lets users dismiss notifications with a quick double-tap of the watch's face, or acknowledge notifications with a single tap.
