Rough Plan for Report (to be discussed tonight)

1) Quick Introduction...who is Bob, what is his condition, what are his limitations (Possibly include some info about IED victims) (circa 200 words)

2) Introducing Smart Houses... what are they, how do devices communicate via the Internet of Things (single CPU at the center)...may refer to this journal: http://www.hiit.fi/~oulasvir/58307110/smarthomes.pdf (500 words?)

DIVING INTO OUR GIZMOS (I have a feeling SWOT comes into this)
3) Welcome Mat and Security Camera Gizmos (Kevin) (circa 800 words)
4) Smart Kitchen (Ryan) (circa 800)
5) Voice Recognition for calls and Motor Shelf (Maria) (circa 800 words)

6) Other Gizmos? (Sean/Daryl/Andrew)?

7) Diagram of Our CPU, highlighting all inputs (eg microphones for voice recognition), and outputs (eg motor shelf, robotic arm for door, Electromagnetic locks, etc) (max 50 words?)

8) Conclusion: what have we achieved, what is Bob able to accomplish now, that he could not do without our help? (circa 200 words)

9) Any further articles we come up with regarding technology used (eg how does a robotic arm work) could be placed in appendixes which we can refer to from our articles, so as not to affect our word count.

n.b. if we stick to the word limits, it should leave us 1,650 words available for other technologies which Sean, Andrew or Daryl may want to describe. Note that i had mentioned two or three other gizmos which i have not been able to write about due to word restrictions (you guys are more then welcome, but not forced to write about any of them : House Climate Control, Giant Wall Mounted Kindle, Shower which alters water temp according to voice recognition)

  1. hwy Kev I researched some stuff about a smart bathroom, below is the blog post...I could write something about that and include your voice recognition water temperature instead of he predefined temperature...
