General Feedback:
positive ideas:
- Incentivising housework is an interesting space
- Interesting to see how children can be motivated to clean by using games
- Wouldn't want people waving around a knife
- trying to solve an actual problem in our daily life.
- A clear description of the concept including persona, storyboard, prototype
Constructive ideas:
- make the interaction between multiple users more continuous
- using a projector in a well-lit room or several rooms may prove a challenge.
- each type of chore have it’s own challenge/expertise
- sound could be used to help with understanding ball movement around the house
- punishment vs reward
- track who catches the ball and capture the work done
- change the ball projection into something else
Team progress
Work completed
- Determined the overall plan
- Determined what to improve
- After the group was downsized, there was a careful division of labor for each person
- Collected and organized everyone's comments on the presentation
- Start making a paper prototype
Reflection of completed tasks:
- Speed up communication efficiency, and respond to Facebook in time
- Google drive shared, put all shared files in one place
- Google drive upload pictures need to be named and sorted for teammates to use
- Help other teammates while completing tasks
- Communicate task progress in a timely manner
- When getting stuck, ask teammates for inspiration instead of thinking alone
Next step
- Determine the number of chores
- Determining the characteristics of each type of household chore
- Determine the sound effect during a collision
- Determine the evaluation method
- Complete paper prototype
- First paper test with a paper prototype
Individual process:
Next step:
- collect the material and start making the prototype
- prepare Arduino and the collider
- investigate the code that can make the ball slowly pop out of the water
- research family games to find ways to increase interaction and improve every way of chores
Reflection of completed tasks:
- Drawing speed is too slow, don't pay too much attention to beauty, the main purpose is to express meaning.
- Pr is unskilled and cannot help teammates edit special effects to speed up efficiency.
- The connection between Arduino and the projector has not been figured out, and we have to find a way to solve the related code problems.
