In terms of safety, GateGuard mitigates risks associated with getting lost, and accidental trespassing in restricted areas. Traditional methods, such as relying on assistance from airport staff, can be inconsistent and unreliable. In terms of social factors, we are making sure that GateGuard is as inconspicuous as possible for visual appeal. We are also making sure that the device promotes independent mobility, which can inspire confidence to our users. In terms of economics, we have to make sure that for the users, the device provides a cost-effective alternative to other methods, such as hiring a travel assistant.
