Project Smart Display has completed a 9 week product exploration. We focused on understanding the fundamental human needs at home and the research led us to explore further into the areas of human connections where we believe this is an area with the greatest potential for a compelling product proposal. The product proposal is called "Totem", which is a sculptural piece that gives your loved one (who lives apart) a physical place in your home, ensuring your relationship isn’t lost in a sea of noisy social feeds and missed connections. | |||
Another project of Mozilla, the [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Connected_Devices/Projects/Project_Haiku Project Haiku], has also been working in a similar space. We have decided the two projects will merge and become one single effort for Mozilla in our continued exploration in this space. [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Connected_Devices/Projects/Project_Haiku Project Haiku] is pivoting away from a wearable to a "Totem-like" stationary object that resides inside the home. We've just started the process of further refining on the new product idea (and how we'll achieve it). For those who has been following Project Smart Display, thank you for being a part of this journey and be sure to follow [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Connected_Devices/Projects/Project_Haiku Project Haiku] wiki for all future updates. | |||

As the world moves towards the Internet of Things (IoT) future, many existing connected home products (home cameras, thermostats, lighting, door locks, smart hubs, etc.) require apps to be installed on personal smartphones, in order to leverage them as a display. The home is where many things are out in the open and shared among family members. ''Is the smartphone the best device for the connected home of the future? Should shared home devices be accessed by personal smartphones?'' These are the questions driving this new project at Mozilla: '''Project Smart Displays'''. We have set out to explore the role of displays in the home in order to understand what role they might play in the connected home of the future, where we will identify the opportunities for innovation. | |||
Project Smart Displays is onto a 9 week exploration where the first 4 weeks are to understand the real user problems or opportunities. Based on the opportunity/problems identified, the later 5 week is to ideate and come up with product proposals. Here's an overview of the 9 week exploration. | Project Smart Displays is onto a 9 week exploration where the first 4 weeks are to understand the real user problems or opportunities.

The two concepts represent divergent hypotheses for how to solve the same general problem of staying in touch with a few close loved ones that reside outside the home. | ** Two concepts are being presented to test users.
