The document appears to be notes from a student, Lanjing Zhu, for a class project on embedded media design. It outlines the stages of research and development for a speculative concept about protecting privacy while using smart devices in public. The stages include coming up with an initial concept, conducting ethnographic research by observing public smart device use, developing an interim proposal to integrate optics and ergonomics into a screen protection device, establishing a brand identity including potential names like "Provis", and exploring soundscapes. The document provides updates and links to research at various stages of the project.
