Week 16 - User Testing #2
​
After last week's results we were very exited to continue with our user test on various people and see the effects shared music has on people who have never met each other before.
This week we matched the participants playlists and chose to play them a 'First Aid Kit' song, based on their favourite artists and songs. The general atmosphere in the car was a bit awkward at first - they were not making eye contact most of the time and were looking mostly Forward and sideways. We realised that moments of silence creates bigger awkwardness. But as the song kept on playing we noticed that the interaction between our participants became more calm, less awkward and pleasant - They Talked about the song and the band, which brought up a common topic - Sweden (one of the participants is Swedish and the other participant likes the band which is from Sweden).

Week 14 - Back To Work
This week we are going back to work after our break, we are now planing on following the points the mentors brought up during our presentation at Microsoft, starting with defining our target audience better.
We decided our development order will be as followed:
-
Music smart sync algorithm.
-
Cooper dance moves sync with the music rhythm.
-
Music volume changes based on the interaction levels.
Regarding the user testing we decided to go a bit backwards in our process in order to gain a better understanding of our target audience.
After that we will test what people think about music in shared ride situation that we are targeting for and see how they react to cooper.
We are all Very exited to be back and can't wait to see our prototype developing even more during the secound semester!
