What is a comfortable shape?

Rounded for comfort against the skin

The size is not too big so it is uncomfortable to wear but big enough for functions.

The weight can not be too heavy to wear round the neck.

Smooth texture

Design Development

This design is a smartphone that is worn round the neck as jewellry.

The shape is rounded for comfort when worn with no sharp edges to dig into the person wearing it.

It is similar to the emergency call buttons that can be worn now, but it will be small and more jewellry like.

There is a camera that provides access to holographic images projected in front of the user. This hologram will be interactive to give access to games, the internet etc by hand movements.

Good points are the size and weight make it easy to wear. A bad point is that it may clash with other jewellry you may have.

I can improve this design by not making it flat back and front but curving the whole thing. This will give it a more jewel like look and be more comfortable.
