APPLICATION DIRECTIONS

Applications

Starting from messages, location and task information, we explore how a field terminal fits into different workflows. These are design scenarios. Actual capabilities still depend on product development and field verification.

01

Disaster response and team coordination

Through assembly, movement and reporting, help team members keep track of each other's location and current task.

What's needed

When a team spreads out, members need clear status and location information, and need to know whether a report is still current.

To be confirmed

Communication coverage, message priority, data updates and what to do after an interruption.

CORE

On-the-move terminal

Planned as the frontline carry terminal, bringing messages, positioning and basic controls together.

MAX

Information view

A larger screen for exploring how maps, assembly points and task information are presented.

02

Mountain and outdoor activity

Carrying, handling and recharging are built into the terminal design together.

What's needed

On the move, people need to check their location quickly, keep important information at hand and manage limited power.

To be confirmed

Effects of terrain and weather, real-world power draw, grip and display readability.

CORE

On-the-move terminal

Focused on one-handed use, maps and positioning, and low-power design trade-offs.

MAX

Information view

Exploring how fuller map information could be viewed at assembly points or by support teams.

03

Field inspection and site logging

From "where people are" to "which location needs attention," giving field records more context.

What's needed

An inspection route may span many sites, so location, conditions and reports need to be matched up.

To be confirmed

Record formats, offline data strategy and integration with existing operational systems.

CORE

On-the-move terminal

Exploring workflows for viewing sites in the field, reporting status and keeping concise records.

MAX

Information view

Exploring map views of multiple sites and how reports are organized.

04

Drills, teaching and technical research

Turning design assumptions into questions that can be discussed, compared and verified again and again.

What's needed

The same device may face different requirements in different tasks, so test conditions need clear definitions.

To be confirmed

Test methods, what to record, user feedback and differences between versions.

CORE

On-the-move terminal

As the handheld direction, a basis for verifying controls, communication and energy management.

MAX

Information view

With more room to work, exploring information integration, display and collaborative workflows.
