Hi All
My name is Jim Edwards and I'm an entrepreneur who has created a new technology for divers that I'm currently developing at a company called Digital Accelerator.
Below are the features - please take a look and feedback any thoughts/suggestions you have on them.
Proximity Awareness - The divers use small sensors (the size of a 50p coin) that they attach to their diving gear via a wrist strap. These sensors communicate to diving computers and can be configured to create a digital leash between 1 or more fellow divers. The sensors alert the diving computer if the sensors move out of a certain distance from another (or to a dangerous depth). The idea is predominately for scuba instructors who will have better proximity awareness of their students but it could also be used by recreational divers to keep close to their diving partners.
Digital Log - All dives obviously require a log of activity. These sensors will automate this process, creating a digital log of time in and out of the water and saving time and effort once dives are completed.
Digital Ping - One of the main frustrations underwater is getting the attention of your partners. These devices allow you to send a digital ping to your partners to immediately get their attention. This could either be delivered by the vibration of the sensor or through the connected diving computer.
I would really appreciate your feedback on the above and if you could answer these questions I would really appreciate it:
1 - what do you think of the features?
2 - how would you do them?
3 - are they important to you?
4 - can you think of any other features that would be useful?
5 - do you think these devices you make your diving experiences safer?
