I got feedback from: Jennifer, Anna, Erika, Jessica Franks, Robert, PJ
Feedback/Criticism:
1. Identify a value proposition: WHO would buy this product and WHY
2. Push the boundaries of what you are doing - should have had many more fleshed out ideas.
3. Look more into Smart Textiles (electronics + textiles)
4. Look at existing forms of consumer goods with this technology attached (sporting goods, clothing, military)- WHY are they making these specific material choices, how does that equate to price and value (ex. Patagonia)
5. Play up sustainability/environmental benefits
6. Identify what the product is NOT (your grandma's plastic couch cover, a slip cover)
7. Think about scale - how can this happen on a local level that mines into specific resources/skills of a region - to be viewed as a complete model/example of how this can happen all over America. GET SPECIFIC ON WHERE THIS HAPPENS
8. Develop relationships with the people who develop the technology and who manufacture textiles - get their feedback.
