| Executive Summary | ||||||
| My gizmo was the Origami DVD Player which utillizes e-paper as a medium for displaying images. At this point, the Origami DVD Player is still in the beginning stages. As such, there is no threat of becoming obsolete because the final product has not yet been built. This technology is owned. by Inventables, although the e-paper technology is being borrowed from Mag-Ink. Another company researching this technology is Microsoft. This product will be used for playing DVD's, CD's, and Video Games. As a result, DVD's, CD's, and USB sticks must be compatible for use with the Origami DVD Player. In the past, these services were achieved through VCRs, Stereos, Computers, DVD Players, existing Portable DVD Players and Televisions. In the future, these mediums will become obsolete if they have not already. The Origami DVD Player is still a transitional product due to the fact it has not yet been introduced to the public and the technology has not been perfected. This gizmo could be used by anyone, but is especially targeted towards people on-the-go because it offers the services of many other devices, but is compact and portable. It maintains an edge over existing portable DVD Players because the e-paper allows a bigger screen with better resolution. The market for this device consists of techology-savy individuals and those who just want to view movies, listen to music and play games. This market is driven by innovation and competition, and is restricted by the struggle to find the best possible finished product. The market for the Origami DVD Player will continue to grow in the future as the demand for better technology grows. In the end, I was still unable to find a possible price for the Origami DVD Player because it is still too far from being produced. I found the information on websites dedicated to new technology, and they seemed pretty valid because I was not faced with conflicting information. Most of what I found remained consistent throughout my research. |
