This week in class we talked about input/output devices. As products develop and continue to grow, updates and new features get added to them. If the Visual Closet goes as planned, voice recognition may be a feature that could be used with it. Voice recognition could be used to say a specific color, clothing item, or style you are looking to wear that day and the Visual Closet would be able to pull up the clothing items that go along with the command you said.
As well, RFID technology could work with the Visual Closet. Items of clothes could have RFID tags that go along with them so you could easily scan this code into your Visual Closet when you purchase it so it takes on seconds to be put into the system. This would help make the whole process of the Visual Closet a lot easier for users so they do not have to waste time putting in specific details and such to get the Virtual Closet to identify the object.
This would also be helpful to customers so if they lost a piece of clothing or could not find it, the RFID would already be on your clothing item so it would be easy to find and track down. The Visual Closet could integrate gps into it so that the exact spot of your clothing object would be easy to locate. RFID is a high technology system and so is the Visual Closet so they would be very compatible together and help users greatly.

As a business, the Visual Closet will have a lot of important files and information stored on our computers and in our system. Privacy to our customers will be one of the most important factors of the company because we want to be a respectable and trusted company. Without having the trust of our customers that we can keep their information private and secure we will not get the business we want.
We learned about computer forensics this week and how easy others information can get out to the public. Our business will take all the necessary steps to prevent this by using shredders and having computer programs that privatize customers personal information like names, addresses and credit card information. If our offices decide to get new computers, we will make sure to take the necessary steps to fully erase all information and not let someone get all the information back.
Computer hardware is so important to the Visual Closet because it is a technology and computer based product. In order for the Visual Closet to work we need a lot of the same hardware components as a computer. It is such a complex product that it will take a lot of different hardware tools to make it but with todays technology it will be possible.

This week in class we talked about excel and the benefits of spreadsheets. For the virtual closet company, I think that working with Excel would be vital to the company. Every company has a business side to it that needs to be organized and easy to read. With Excel, our company could keep track of different things like order quantity, pricing, and other information to better sell and financially keep up to date.
Keeping track of who orders what is extremely important for a company so that they can tell how well their product is doing as well as advertise more efficiently. The virtual closet company can use a spreadsheet to keep track of the different areas and states that the product is being ordered from to see where the most popular spots are. Graphs can also be made to visually tell where and how much of the product is being bought so that we can continue advertising in that area, or if it is not doing well in a specific area pull back and go stronger somewhere else.
As well Excel would be very helpful to keep track of finances. We learned in class how to do different things like add sums and put in equations to see if we are on the right track with budget. This would benefit the company because we would need to make sure we are continually following our budget and not getting behind. It is important to also make sure that we are charing the right amount so with Excel we can keep track of different price points we use and see if these prices are affecting the amount me sell. A visual representation like a graph of this would also be very useful.

My idea for the entrepreneurial project is a visual closet. At home as well as at school it is very hard to go through my closet and pick out clothes because it it compact and the clothes are so close together. I always have shirts that I never end up wearing because they are tucked far back in my closet so I do not see them when I am trying to go through my closet. That is why I thought of the idea of a visual closet. The visual closet would be a touch screen pad on the outside of your closet (it can be portable as well) that has images of all of your clothes so you cal scroll through and view them as well as place them on a picture of yourself to view outfits together. As a girl I know how frustrating it can be trying on multiple outfits and how tiring it gets so this would eliminate this issue.
This week in class we talked about twitter and other social media outlets. Twitter would be a great source for this project. New updates for the virtual closet could be posted on the twitter page to let fans know about the latest software and updates. As well, celebrities could be integrated into the twitter exposure as well because they could show how they are using the closet and how much it has helped them. Twitpics as well as video can also be something that could be a great benefit to this company. By adding pictures to twitter users can get a better idea of how to use the product and see how helpful it really is. Videos can be updated into tweets as well to show tutorials on how to use the virtual closet.
Facebook and Google could also be a huge help to the virtual product. By the virtual closet having a Facebook page users could comment on the wall to let others know the benefits of the virtual closet and give each other tips. Google could be used to search the product and find the website as well as customer service and online ordering. These social media outlets will be very beneficial to the virtual closet and help promote and get the product out there.
