Ideas contributed to the group during brainstorming:

  • Product: Middleman robot, which can have non-bias stand, to be the middleman between parents and children. Often parents and children will tend to have very different opinions, which many of the times lead to arguments. And during arguments, both parties tend not to listen to each other. The robot can sense emotions and analyze the things being said. When parents and children argue, the robot will calm both parties and say something to remind them to stop arguing and listen to each other.

  • Product: A radio that can detect atmosphere/mood. If parents and children argue, the radio will start playing stories of relationship between parents and children. As to remind them stop arguing and try listening to each other, to prevent regrets just like the stories.    

  • Product: A 3D spectacle that can experience each other’s experience or even thoughts. It is for parents and children to understand more about each other’s stand/opinion. Like why this decision being made, the process of this decision.  

  • Product: A 3D spectacle that can read other’s mind. Parents and children may feel uneasy to open their mouth to share about their inner thoughts, they may feel awkward. With this spectacle, users can just think about the things they want to tell their children/parents. And with the help of brainwave, it can generate the thoughts to words. Whoever wear the spectacle will able to see the thoughts generated words.  
  • Product: A database full of articles (articles are provided through companies or from the net) sorted by different category. This is a sharing device that can be on TV (works something like Starhub subscription), mobile phone and the internet. For example, children browse through the application reading articles when they are free and when they see articles their parents like; they can send the article to parents through mobile, net or TV. This helps to improve the awkward feeling between parents and children and find out what each other’s interest is. When received the article from parents, children feel they are cared* Also there are translations available and voice translator to help older generations use the device.
  • Game: It’s a game similar to “truth or dare”, team up with a parent, to ensure that users need to do/say something, thus relating back to their family. Main objective is to make them have fun, and to be sporting and forget about the awkwardness because it’s a game.
    • Why do children share problems with friends than problems?
    • Because children feel that it’s easier to talk to friends because they have a common level of understanding.
