Bringing it to life

SafeZone needed to show potential investors and customers what their vision of the gun would look like. After a few revisions the fingerprint scanner was moved to the grip of the gun, allowing it to have a more seamless operation. Transparent 3d mockups were rendered to show the inside mechanics of the product.

A connected app

SafeZone needed an app to connect with the guns internal hardware. The app featured a scanner to securely unlock the interface. Once open you are able to utitize the main functions of SafeZone. The app tracks the location, plots points where the gun can't be used, and allows additional fingerprints to be added.

Where and When

One of the most important parts of the SafeZone experience is it's ability to track where the gun is located and generate a history log. This UX needed to be simple and easily scannable at a glance when time matters most.

Stay alert

Notifications are sent to the gun owner when the location has been moved, left a specified area, needs to be charged, and more. This give the owner the peace of mind when away from the gun, keeping it safe from friends, family, and any uncontrollable circumstance that may happen.
