Tiivistelmä
HAMK Tech has tested the dual use of smart sleeves designed for esports together with the National Defence University (NDU). The prototype designed for esports use is now being further developed into a concept for the military. This thesis provides a prototype of the user interface design and shows the first iteration of the smart wearable device prototype.
First, the concepts related to smart wearables in the military are explained in the theory. These include theory on smart wearables technology, technology in the defence force, device security, and prototyping. The thesis then proceeds to discuss the development of the new smart wearable device and the UI design prototypes. The primary research method that was used was the development methodology. This thesis is more theoretical than practical.
These prototypes developed in this thesis are not final products but are purpose-built concepts. They serve to validate development and establish a framework for the ongoing project at HAMK Tech. The knowledge generated through the prototype creation is intended to guide future development of the final products. It is recommended that HAMK Tech takes into consideration the security and environmental factors in which the military will utilize these devices.
Input from the client highlighted the thesis aspects to be essential for designing wearable technologies required for military purposes. The work of the thesis presents all requirements and device prototypes
that have been produced during the beginning of the project. The results support the use of the systems for military use.
