Cuando un proyecto tiene un producto final tangible, es necesario mostrar a los patrocinadores la documentación propia de un prototipo, que es un modelo preliminar del producto final. En esta galería el creador muestra fotos y videos proporcionando al patrocinador una idea del estado del proyecto, qué se ha conseguido y qué falta por conseguir. Aunque el proceso es diferente para cada proyecto, en general se ven las siguientes fases:
Prueba de concepto
Exploraciones que comprueban la idea y su funcionalidad.
Prototipo funcional
Demuestra la funcionalidad del producto final, pero su apariencia es distinta.
Prototipo de apariencia
La apariencia del prototipo es igual a la del producto final, pero no tiene funcionalidad.
Prototipo de diseño
Es igual al producto final en apariencia y función, sin embargo, está manufacturado de manera diferente.
Prototipo de producción
Apariencia, funcionalidad y método de manufactura son iguales en prototipo y producto final.

Use your favorite gadget, a Smartphone, efficiently
Ever wished that you could have captured that incident that happened right in front of your car while driving? Or found yourself missing out on capturing a scenic route on your previous road trip? Stop fretting over those lost moments.
Meet HEED, the most versatile car mount that converts your smartphone into a Dash Cam while charging your phone as well as playing your music and navigation on the go. It comes with fixtures that allow you to mount it to your dashboard or windshield.
Dash Cam
Capture road ahead
Many drivers wish that they had a dash cam to record video about road mishaps for better evidence. But spending extra cash on a standalone dash cam, that serves no other purpose, often discourages people from getting one. Plus, a reasonable quality dash cam often costs upward of $100 and takes a lot of effort to manage the data.
HEED lets you use a device you already have anyway, which already has an excellent camera and whose usage you are already familiar with. So, why spend more on standalone Dash Cam? Take HEED and secure your drive.
Also, HEED app automatically stores and manages the recorded video files. Backing up and sharing the recorded video files is a breeze with the HEED app.
Wireless Charging
HEED comes with turbo wireless charger infrastructure that automatically recharges your phone when you stick it to the car mount. No more hassle of find and plug in charger cable. Your Smartphone finds space in the car, works for you and gets recharged while you drive.
Navigation and Music Apps
The HEED app allows you to use your navigation and music apps such as Google Maps and Google Play Music without any hassles. Each app can be launched with just one touch, with the other features (such as the dash cam) still running in the background. You will simply interact and use these apps like normal.
Priority calls and Notifications
When you dock your phone on the HEED car mount, you have automatically taken a step towards safe driving. HEED app automatically mutes all calls and notifications that are not on your priority list. Safety first!
Design
HEED photorealistic rendering
Before arriving at the current design, HEED went through much iteration. We had to take into account the mechanical challenges in the car as well as convenience for every-day use. With smartphone designs moving towards edge-to-edge displays, mechanical support such as clips and holders could have damaged or affected the phone’s display (i.e. the Samsung edge phones).
With the usage of gel pads, we have come up with a sleek and strong design that can withstand sudden braking, acceleration, and rough driving conditions. We want to make sure that the phone is held strongly in constantly vibrating environment while maintaining a minimalist design.
HEED is thoughtfully designed for convenience, provides super-fast wireless charge and allows you to safely keep your phone in the driver's line of sight.

Texting and Driving Accident Statistics
Studies found that an average of 3 seconds' distraction can cause fatal accidents on the road. Texting while driving is illegal and can hurt the driver and/or fellow drivers or commuters who are innocent.
A simple feature (drive mode setting) to avoid distraction can save precious lives.
We are happy to work with a major product design company, Wizardry Designs Pvt. Ltd, who have been helping us with our industrial design and packaging design needs, while also providing support all the way up to production.
We have been working very closely with the dedicated team of crowdfunding specialists at Smart Crowdfunding throughout the entire process.They have guided us during the pre-launch phase as we got ready to bring our idea to you, and continue to work with us on the marketing and promotions of our campaign.
We have also worked with Clickcode Media who helped us create a product video, as well as provided assistance with our social media posts. They do very good graphic work, and are very friendly and reachable all the time.
You can help us spread the word by sharing our campaign with your colleagues, friends and family.
Thank you for reading!
Riesgos y desafíos
When it comes to production, we may face a challenge or two in order to deliver a quality product. However, the HEED team brings in decades of first hand experience in engineering and manufacturing to scale up production. In the past, we have predicted every possible challenge and made every effort to mitigate these factors. So, with this experience, we are confident that we will be able to deliver the product to you.
We have completed Industrial Design (plastics). We have also created a working prototype using 3D prints. We have been working with top Silicon companies whose chip sets and other components we are using. We have been interacting with tool and mold makers.
Manufacturing
We have been in touch with distributors and manufacturing companies we have worked with before on previous products. With this experience, we know where things could go wrong, so we can tackle those problems before they arise. We also know how to fix the problems in production line and production testing. We are very confident that we can manage the risks and challenges when we start production of the units.
Supply Chain and Logistics
Lead time of components and logistics can vary from day to day. As stock and supply changes, lead time varies. However, with the help of past working relationship with component distributors and vendors, we are able to locate the components. We are confident that we will be able to secure components with a minimum possible lead time.
Also, we are in touch with global freight services with whom we have been interacting about the quick and economical shipment of rewards to backers.
Thank you very much for supporting HEED. We will be in touch with you by constantly updating status of progress. You will receive beautiful digital post cards featuring road trips.
