RiskBand Aries

A revolutionary personal safety device that provides immediate emergency response through an innovative one-touch interface system.

Designing for extreme hardware constraints presented a unique challenge. Working with a 3-bit color palette and a circular black screen at 72 PPI, we transformed technical limitations into design opportunities. The black background, chosen for optimal battery efficiency, became a cornerstone of our interface strategy.


The final product successfully integrates multiple complex features—audio recording, video capture, photography, and global security communication—into an intuitive interface that can be operated in high-stress situations. This achievement demonstrates how thoughtful design can overcome significant technical constraints while prioritizing user needs.
