Concept Demos

These are concept demos — working prototypes of products real companies could build. Each takes a brand you know — Swatch, iRobot — and ships the connected-hardware strategy this book argues for, so you can use the thing instead of just reading about it.

Pigment smartwatch concept — orange case with a user-drawn watch face Concept Demo

Pigment

Applied to Swatch

Wear your color.

Turn any photo into a custom watch face and swap it as often as you change your mind. The smartwatch's Swatch moment — the device as a canvas for self-expression, not a fixed object.

Concierge smart-home dashboard concept — Roomba status, routines, marketplace promo, and bottom-tab nav Concept Demo

Concierge

Applied to iRobot

From a robot you own to a home that runs itself.

The Roomba's floor map becomes the dashboard your home wanted: schedule cleaning around real life, reorder supplies before they run out, browse vetted home services in one app. The consumer face of the marketplace pivot.

Vendor Platform concept — Snow Removal service listing with price, distance, provider profile, and Book this service CTA Concept Demo

Vendor Platform

Applied to iRobot

List your service. Reach the install base.

The supply side of the same marketplace. Local cleaners, repair pros, and home-service brands list offerings and surface in front of the households already running an iRobot in their living room.
