General Product Details

When specifying a new hardware product it is generally best to break it up into three core parts: the electronics, the software, and the mechanical enclosure. Then you should specify each of these separately trying to especially keep in mind the differences between hardware and software features. Please provide a brief description of your product. Focus on the technical aspects and required functionality of the product, not on the market or the need for the product. No need to specify every detail here, and this should be no more than a page:

Have you built a Proof-of-Concept prototype using development kits like Arduino or Raspberry Pi? If so, list all of components with part numbers and links: Target retail price: What countries will the product be sold in?: Approximate product size dimensions: Operating environment (indoors, outdoors, extreme cold, etc.): Operating temperature range:

How critical is small size for your product:  Extremely critical (wearables, etc.)  Very critical  Moderately critical  Not very critical  Not all critical What type of retail package will be required:  Retail blister pack  Retail clamshell  Retail box  No retail packaging required Please describe the retail packaging requirements in further detail: Does the package need to be full color? If so, does it need to be photo quality? If using a retail box will a custom plastic insert be needed to hold the various individual components?

Audio Requirements:

What type of audio capabilities does your product require?:  Audio recording  Low-fidelity audio playback  High-fidelity audio playback  Streaming audio  Voice recognition (simple word/phrase commands)  Voice recognition (complex like Alexa/Google/Siri)  Other ________________________________________ Is the audio mono or stereo?: If audio playback capabilities are required what is the estimated power (wattage) required?: Please explain the audio requirements in more detail:

Video Requirements:

What type of video capabilities does your product require?:  Display  Touchscreen  Camera (images only)  Camera (images & video)  Streaming video  HDMI input/output  Facial recognition  Other ________________________________________ If a display is required, what are the specifications?:  Technology (LCD, LCD-TFT, LED, OLED) _____________  Resolution _____________  Environment (indoors or outdoors) _____________  Display size dimensions _____________  Display color capability (B/W, grayscale, colors, full color)  Other ________________________________________ If a camera is required, what are the specifications?:  Resolution: low, 720p, 1080p, 3MP+ _____________  Still images or video: _____________  Auto/Manual focus: _____________ Please explain the video requirements in more detail:

Power Management Requirements:

How is your product powered?:  Rechargeable battery (charged in place)  Replaceable batteries (AA, AAA, coin cells, etc.)  External DC power source  AC power  Other ________________________________________ If powered from a battery what is the target battery life (hours):  ___________ If powered from a rechargeable battery what is the method of charging:  USB port + external wall adapter  Barrel plug + external wall adapter  AC outlet  Solar charging  Other power harvesting  Wireless (inductive) charging What is the input voltage range? Are there any specified voltage supplies required? Are any of the voltage supplies output on a pin to power external devices? If so, what are the voltage/current requirements?

Other Electronics Requirements:

What other functions does your product require?:  USB data communication  SD memory card  Solenoid control  Motor control  Vibration  High-voltage AC  Power metering  Haptic feedback  Precise clock/timer  Machine learning  Other _____________________________________ Please explain any other requirements in more detail:

Do you have any sketches showing the various screens/function for the mobile app or desktop software? If desktop software is required please describe the requirements: Does the firmware require any advanced processing capabilities such as facial recognition, machine learning, voice recognition, etc. If so, please describe in detail:

Mechanical:

Estimated overall dimensions: Preferred material (plastic, sheet metal, cast metal, etc.): How critical is appearance for the product?  Extremely critical (wearables, etc.)  Very critical  Moderately critical  Not very critical  Not all critical If appearance is critical please describe what aspects of the appearance are most important: How critical is durability for the product?  Extremely critical  Very critical  Moderately critical  Not very critical  Not all critical

Does the product only require a static enclosure or does it also have moving parts and/or mechanical systems requiring motors, gears, springs, valves, etc.? If there are more advanced mechanical requirements beyond just the static enclosure please describe here:
