Smart Table (RaspberryPi & iOS / Android)
Creating a Smart table with custom circuits, server logic and music player integrations (supporting iOS and Android)
Challenge
- Partnership opportunity to create a custom-designed smart table that can be controlled with a mobile device for a private Metal & Smart Device Manufacturer
- Challenge was to work across the board (native app, server, third party integrations, custom hardware, hardware integrations)
Solution
- Create custom smart table technology using open source components (available online)
- Manually configure hardware to create viable circuit and corresponding logic to control components
- Create access controls via code and make them available on a local virtual server (accessible by other devices via Wifi and bluetooth)
- Create onboarding experience (bluetooth connection with handoff to wifi)
- Mobile interface for device controls, plus admin panel controls for administration
- Including an integration with Spotify and Google Music APIs to stream songs to SmartDevice
Services
- Platform Research
- Prototyping (Hardware, Apps)
- Native Android Development
- Native iOS Development
- User experience design
- Interface design iterations
- Spotify and Google Play integrations
Result
Functional prototypes were created and shipped, along with a Mobile App to control the experience. Documentation was also created to support product operation and developer instructions (custom toolkit) for product handoff.
Product highlight moment: demonstrated as a product concept for RocNation (Jay-Z's company).
