Phase 0: Planning
Mission Statement
Product Description /Project Overview
This project will develop an interactive game for a child that has very limited vision. The game should
enhance motor skills, improve the ability to problem solve, and provide an overall entertaining experience.
Key Business Goals/Project Deliverables
The primary business goal of this project is to deliver a quality product to the consumer. This will increase
the visibility of RIT and the reputation it has for the bringing ideas to life.
Primary Market /Project Opportunities
The primary market for this product would be children with limited eyesight in the 6-12 age group.
Secondary Market /Project Opportunities
A secondary project opportunity for this project could be the continued development of games for the
console.

Phase 1: Concept Development
Identify Customer Needs - Interpret
Needs Statements:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
The displayed image must be clearly visible to the user
The game must be fun
The device should be comfortable to use
Battery life should be reasonable (2-4 hours)
The device should be durable
User driven design vs. technology driven design
User driven – Benefit is derived from the functionality of its interface
and/or aesthetic appeal (typically there is a high degree of user
interaction)
Technology driven – Core benefit is based on technology, or its ability to
accomplish a specific task
This product will involve a high amount of user interactions, so Industrial
Design will be a tremendous asset to the team.
