Challenge
We wanted to create a high-performance locator which is also a phone. A trackerphone that is easy to use, reliable, with a long battery life, durable, ready to go from the sales box, and light to carry.
Approach
The matchbox-sized, easy-to-carry trackerphone maps its wearer in real-time in addition to letting you reach them by calling. A simple one-button control on the device prompts notifications and call requests to family members, who can monitor their loved ones through a free smartphone app that offers various map views, location history, and event timelines. With the Snowfox trackerphone you can create places and get automated notifications when trackerphone enters or leaves a specified location. Family members and friends can be added as guardians in the app, thus creating a connected circle of care.
Result
Haltian acted as a technology partner for developing the concept and functional prototypes. Key areas in the development were the wide analysis of the ear anatomy for the perfect shape, as well as finding ways to make the technology even smaller and reliable without compromising the performance, and the best shape and materials for acoustic performance. Additionally, the small charger/carry box was created to complete the user experience.
I like the device a lot, it helps me feel much more secure about my child’s wellbeing. At first I couldn’t believe how small it was! My daughter immediately started taking it wherever she went, we never had to make sure she had it with her. After the test, she didn’t even want to give it back, she was so pleased with it.
