Party Hat

Team Jax, being a group of dThink students, needs to uniquely identify themselves in a way that creates a comfortable social environment that produces ideas designed to make the world more exciting.

Problem:

Ever sit at home wondering what you're friends are doing without you?

Have you found yourself in need of a cool looking speaker?

How can we make hats more interesting and fun?

Solution:

Proximity sensored hat with built in speakers and a disco ball.

Empahy:

We have to think of the users. Are we going to proscribe our product to one kind of person or many kinds of people? We believe as a group, that a party hat that fulfills the needs of all users should be for any and everyone who wants it. We looked at the needs of parties, where are they, the themes, and too quite of music. We try to put ourselfs in their shoes to create a project that can add value to social gatherings and make them unique. That is why we created a cool party hat that has exciting features that the user will love.
