Where is there a need for this?

This was a strong question asked by some critics, although they seemed to agree that somewhere there is a need, but couldn't or wouldn't identify a very pressing scenario.

It was suggested that I have designed a product, and am now looking for an application.

What is a particular scenario that this could work in,and design for that specific scenario. -doctors office

• train -transit specific groups of people who may be interested:
• physicians
• Mandatory reporters -teachers -counselors
• mental health professionals -social providers -social workers -etc.

Some suggested that this product be a feature. Not an all encompassing case, but an add on situation for those that want or need privacy.

Diversify the product line, break up the features into CREATE, and ESCAPE, don't apply both features to the same product, this will make it costly to manufacture... and perhaps limit its marketability.

Some suggested thinking of this as a product which exists where you need it. So if it was on a train, i may have the mentality of a cup holder, it is a device which exists where you would need it, not something you carry around with you.

One critic suggested talking to Apple, or Cingular , to one of the Marketing Associates to see if there is any interest there in creating a story around the product. This seems far fetched to me, but could be a good exercise.

Next steps:

Create a survey that gets to the core of the issues regarding my product a survey ...

Some of the critics tried to turn me inside out, to expose the fact that what I had on my table was a giant cell phone case.

They used circular logic to get me to say why I owned a phone as small as the one I have.

I tried to reassure them that I was not delusional.

it means...

they didn't see it.
