■Judging Committee Member Comments
ALTHOUGH GPS SERVICES FOR WATCHING OVER CHILDREN HAVE BECOME COMMON, THE ADDITION OF AN AI-BASED FUNCTION FOR WATCHING OVER CHILDREN AND A TALK FUNCTION FOR SENDING UNLIMITED VOICE MESSAGES TO EACH OTHER WAS HIGHLY EVALUATED FOR PRECISELY MEETING THE NEEDS OF CHILDREN WHO ARE NOT YET READY TO BE GIVEN CELL PHONES TO WATCH OVER. THE PRODUCT WAS HIGHLY EVALUATED BOTH IN TERMS OF ITS UI, WHICH HAS NO SCREEN BUT ONLY A BLINKING LED LIGHT, AND THE RESULTING LONG BATTERY LIFE, AS WELL AS IN TERMS OF ITS APPLICATION, WHICH IS SIMPLE AND FOCUSED ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF FUNCTIONS.
The Good Design Award is Japan's only comprehensive design evaluation and recommendation system that judges and awards all things, tangible and intangible, that are built to fulfill ideals and objectives to improve our lives and society through design.
Established in 1957 by the Japan Institute of Design Promotion, it has been active for over 60 years.
