Next Generation Weather Station

Abstract: This project was about develop a concept for next generation weather station and was assigned by Bushnell, Kansas U.S. The project was appropriate for the students since it would involve product development with both visual design and engineering. For the reason that the initiator was located in another country, the students got an offer of being positioned at the consultant firm; Epsilon in Gothenburg. This project is about developing an innovative product as the next step of their evolution; a portable Wi-Fi household appliance that keeps the user up-dated with weather forecasts as well as news and other desirable info. This next generation weather station shall be transboundary by offering more than traditional weather forecasts. Through its direct connection to Internet it shall display and capture customizable data such as news, traffic, sports (scores, news and highlights), photo and video content to name a few. The user shall be able to get “data at-a-glance” in a fun user-friendly, low maintenance approach while keeping the simplicity of the older products.
