Intention/Narrative

Ghost Pepper is a smart pin designed to keep its wearer safe by detecting potential threats such as stalkers, kidnappers, and pickpockets. When Ghost Pepper detects movements from other people that seem threatening, it will alert the police or shoot pepper spray. Movements that might trigger Ghost Pepper include sudden approaches from behind, outsider access to personal baggage, or following. The device also tracks the wearer's heart rate and blood pressure as indication of when the wearer is anxious or being threatened. 

We chose to design a device like Ghost Pepper because there is a shortage of products on the market for discreet, internet connected personal protection. Ghost Pepper Spray is an inconspicuous device that can ensure its wearer feels protected at all times and from a variety of common outside threats. Furthermore, the device provides an effective solution to people living in crime-ridden areas due to its ability to covertly defend at close ranges. Ghost pepper can detect danger totally unbeknownst to the wearer, such as a stalking or pickpockets. Additionally, Ghost Pepper connects the wearer to help by calling the police and sending a picture of the aggressor.
