BIG DATA & THE INTERNET OF THINGS BILAL AZAM, YIWEN ZHAI, KERAN ZHU WEATHER The UK is known for its weather conditions mainly consisting of rain. From tutorial feedback, our group had decided on using this rain as a focal point in our product. OPEN DATA Looking at the chart, we can see that January - February were the months that had the least favourable conditions. It is June September that have the higher temperatures. 2/3 of the year will require us to wear warm clothes. OPEN DATA October is the month recorded that has the most rain fall with mm. The month with the least sunshine hours is December. The last few months of the year is when the product will be used due to the low temperatures and high rainfall. OPEN DATA SpringSummerAutumnWinter X X X X WHAT? Our product(s) are coats that have been designed for children to use. These coats will have thermal technology integrated in them with a temperature monitor. The coats can be customisable or bought with an existing theme. WORKING FILE Originally started off with being water responsive. Thin digital screen to measure the temperature. Screen will show temperature inside coat as well as outside. WORKING FILE Coats are quite successful in their current build. Concentrated on the thermal aspect. Looked at ways to use the temperature monitor. WORKING FILE Starts off with a light colour. Changes towards a darker colour. Final stage would be to change in to a dark colour to signify time spent and exposure to the elements as well as temperature. WHY? Children love to run around parks. Parent/guardians worry about their wellbeing. Children do not have as much immunity compared to adults. Possible risk of sickness from being outside for too long. HOW? The coat will change colour using thermochromic pigmented paint. This type of paint is responsive to different temperatures. Uses organic chemicals called leucodyes which change colour when heat energy makes their molecules shift between two different structures. HOW? The leucodyes change between leuco and non- leuco i.e. colourless and coloured forms. These two forms reflect light differently which allows them to appear in different colours. Temperature will be monitored using a thermistor which will feed into the screens present on the outside of the coat. CUSTOMISABLE This product could be customisable by allowing children to specify what colours they want DIY, buy fabric paint and then mix the thermochromic pigment to then apply to the coat. Interesting and fun for children as it will be something unique i.e. create their own coats EXISTING PRODUCTS REFERENCES https://whodyanickabollockov.wordpress.com/https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=children+coat+sketches&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=643&tbm=isch&i mgil=3EPlAw1fswOGHM%253A%253B4vntsMQRzL4G5M%253Bhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.ki dsfashionvector.com%25252F&source=iu&pf=m&fir=3EPlAw1fswOGHM%253A%252C4vntsMQRzL4G5 M%252C_&usg=__VPqv9owBsqP5q- o64iGDzCU8aak%3D&ved=0ahUKEwilu9KE9dPJAhWK7RQKHUwCDecQyjcIJw&ei=wc9qVuXWB4rbU8yEt LgO
