Seminar 1 - Group discussion

Chapter 2:  

We talked a lot about the approaches and which ones might be applied in our project. After discussion we think that the The activity centered design and the genius design approach seems like a good way to go since we won't be able too meet the users too much after our visit to the museum. Therefor the user - centered design approach probably won't be our major one.

Easier to design for a target group we are in.

Test on other people that is not in the museum to see if the interaction is working. We won't necessarily need our users for that, but people within the target group.

Mix the approaches as much as we can.


Chapter 4:

Hunt statement - I'm going to research X so that I can do Y.
This statement is something we think we should use before going into the field. Always thinking why the question will be relevant before asking.

Observation and interviews.

Unconscious bias - be careful to not choose people we feel match our expectations and instead also taking in regard people that are the opposite of our expectations.


Chapter 5:

Pain points as a conceptual model.

Personas - Creating different personas to help our evaluations during the development of the process.

Taking research information that are very distant and trying to combine them could give us new ideas and perspective.


Questions:

We think we can evaluate our working process by using different approaches we found to be relevant in chapter two and also creating personas.

Follow up on the interviewed people not necessary since the visitors can vary.

Mixing the approaches could give some disadvantages but we think they are the same as using only one. Therefore we are going to mix the approaches since the advantages are more by doing so.

Thoughts about our own project:

Think about the relation parent - children. Do parents want to leave them alone?

What do parents do during that time?

Will the parents have more fun if they can explain the experiments?

They want to be with their kids or they take them there to have some time alone?


Other group's tips and thoughts:

Be "a part of the environment" while interviewing a child

Observing gave more data than the interview

Hard to get answers without introducing them to the idea
