A 2017 survey from SendPoints of close to a hundred smart products across home, health, sport and travel, paired with interviews with the designers and company leaders behind them. It works as both a picture gallery of connected-product design and an explanation of the process and technology behind it, from the early years of the Internet of Things.
A showcase of nearly a hundred 'smart' products across home, health, sport and travel, with sketches and designer interviews on balancing beauty and function. In SDF terms, a gallery of Technological building blocks turned into Outcomes for real human use. Published by SendPoints in 2017, the book surveys close to a hundred smart products across home, health and wellbeing, sport and fitness, business and travel, presenting each with concept sketches and production detail. It pairs this showcase with interviews with designers and company leaders working in the field, aiming to explain both the concept and the development process behind connected products, and to serve as a snapshot of product design in the early years of the Internet of Things.
