Week three update:
In week three we have further compiled our past week’s research into existing spaces in a series of documents for the team to review and for archival purposes. From this research we’re continuing our investigations into the home space specifically – running a series of interviews with people to find out methods that people use to invite others into their homes, the activities they engage in when there are guests, and rituals/customs/systems of entry or exit in their home spaces. A .pdf of our preliminary interview questions can be found here.
In terms of design, we’ve been laying down a lot of groundwork for our questions by creating artifacts like moodboards, user journeys, and video compilations of entry/exit in VR and game spaces.
These documents and artifacts will help us in bringing our team mates up to speed when they get back to Pittsburgh next week, as well as provide a good foundation for our development to start quickly.
In addition to this, we’ve been working on team branding – with a potential logo and poster mockups. The logo can be found at the top of the blog, though it’s still being iterated on and may change by next week.
The team morale is still good overall, and we’re all excited to finally be able to meet together in person next week.
