  • CHALLENGE

  • The Intel WiDock (Wireless Docking) is a product for workplace and home, using Intel WiGig. Our goal was to evangelize the advantages of Intel WiGig -- a new and relatively unfamiliar Intel® technology -- while transforming the product into an intuitive, unobtrusive and seamless experience. With this objective, we faced a number of challenges including: optimizing product footprint, antenna configuration, thermal management , on-demand back-lit touch capacitive user interface, docking status, weight distribution, and a seamless uni-body chassis design. Our theme of elegant simplicity is further demonstrated through the implementation of an intuitive touch-capacitive backlit UI, space-efficient design.
