Week5- Input and Output

There are an infinite number of ways that this weeks topic of input and output can be tied into my INTERSECT product. By using this product you are imputing data as well as receiving data back as an output. With this comes the monumental task of how input and output will be incorporated into the INTERSECT to better serve the everyday user.

            The topic of Input will largely be incorporated into the INTERSECT product. You can input various forms of information onto the INTERECT. This may include desired destination or your location on a social media site. Also, I would like to incorporate another feature into the INTERSECT based on a comment that I received. The INTERSECT will also have the ability to share with you meals at dining halls for various days, as well as bus schedules and campus events. All of this will be inputted using a touch screen tablet. This is to take up as less space possible by putting the “keyboard” on the screen. Also, possibly in the future when the INTERSECT becomes more advanced and as voice input and recognition evolves people can talk to the device and it will recognize the commands.

            The screen will basically be the output device for the INTERSECT as you will view everything that you need to know on it. The display device will be the tablet device IPad, as previously stated. Another possible output device that I feel would be very useful to users for a small fee is a printer. Users will be able to print out directions to their class, meal menus, bus schedules, and even campus activities right from the intersect device. A thermal printer will be used so that cost remains low to the INTERSECT company, as well as the users. Input and Output work together to increase the potential of the INTERSECT and work to make it a better product.
