Week 7: Rapid ideation 2

Module

Date

November 8, 2022

I used this week to continue my project from the first rapid ideation process. I wanted to perform a Wizard of OZ test (https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/174/71952.0001.001.pdf?sequence=2) to be able to determine what was understandable or not understandable to a potential user.

I left off with a wire frame of an application that lets you personalise your robotic vacumcleaner with personality traits. You could apart from changing the name and the voice of the vacuum cleaner to also have a specific movement pattern and personality trait in how it respons to you as the owner. For example - lets say that you name your robotic vacum cleaner to Kory and you imagine him to be a retrired tennis player with a grumpy cat interview. This would lead to the vacuum cleaner to greet you with a grumpy attitue and have a sudden movement pattern which is not coherent and necessarilystructured when cleaning your floors. Imagine the movement on a tennisplayer on the court - sudden motions from side to side, sometimes slow and sometimes very quick. This is not necessarily a GOOD traits of a vacum cleaner, I never said that it was.

In this part of the ideation process i wanted to implement user testing of the low fidelity prototype as well as refining it. The initial brainstorm stays the same, i just take a step back looking at what I did a couple of weeks ago and see where I can make improvments.

To be able to implement more Ai related tools into the process, I have used an AI tool to create my copywriting in the app as well as the "marketing materil" when it comes to presenting the app. The AI form language I believe helps to represent the app in a way that it is not taken too seriously. It all becomes a bit of a surreal expereince - something that it trickering down from the orginial prompt with the Dixit cards.
