The concept of  the SOS Pod  security system and the preliminary design of the trigger pod were put forth by me during an idea generation week , while interning as a product designer at Ducere Technologies.

 

The idea  was born out of my anger caused due to a horrific case of sexual assault on a woman in India. The idea is an effort to prevent significant progress of  an attack by being able to send an emergency signal and location to the police in the fastest way possible even under violent conditions.

 

 Ideation  lead to the preliminary design of the trigger pod, with a button to trigger the signal. The form of the pod which is derived from a triangle has a strong visual identity and  keeps the pod from rolling away when fallen on the ground.
