Product Pitches
The following market opportunities were presented in class in 2007 as potential class projects:
-

focus of this system will be account/client associativity and availability of numorous
unique application types.
-
Shane: A need exists for a robust easy to implement product that will be able to correlate
presence of people with the space that they are occupying without invading their privacy.
-
Zach: Create a product that contains the capability to measure the amount of liquid in a
container while making inventory management seamless.
-
Mitch: An inexpensive cordless penetrating 3D localization system for computer assisted
surgery applications.

a logical step is to augment it with personal medical history information and/or implementing
it as a credit card.
-
Ed: Create a publicly available and easy to navigate information source that aggregates local knowledge.
-
Adam: Develop a mattress cover that will detect core body temperature of an individual laying in bed.
