Follow-up of today's meeting!

[Caroline Karmann]

Hi

here a small follow up about the meeting of today.

As we were leaving the place with Duncan and Sisi, we were wondering on how to make the prototype of some of our concepts... Taking for example the disordered cube: it might be difficult to do it properly (how to make it move? interactive?)

In case we have no clue on how to prototype our winner concepts, we might need to reconsider some of the other. So it might be good that we all think about the feasibility of the prototype (which needs to be done by the 20th) of our winning concepts.

We also agreed on some tasks regarding the next meeting (ie. the one of Thursday):

- Sisi wants to work on the description of the elecmeter.

- I want to work on the description of the disordered cube.

- Duncan will dive into prototype question for the surface (not sure, please correct if I am wrong)

Emily, Vu I would say that you're free to decide on what you want to work... there are still plenty of stuff to define. Or we can speak about it tomorrow.

See you tomorrow,

Caroline

ps. for the ones who did not take the picture of the board, you'll have below the list of prototypes

Winner conepts:

• elecmeter with easy switch
• surface
• disordered cube with interaction
  

Looser concepts:

• interactive mirror
  
• light switch keys
• animals/dolls
• tree

Nice HIPPO-ing.

I can attend. We have room 110MA reserved in the library from 4-6. I will need to leave a little before 6 in order to get to AT&T park on time. It is important to me to be there on time because my friend is singing the national anthem and that is the whole reason I'm going. Just explaining.

See you all on Monday.
