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).

This week CS made huge progress, they were able to interface Spotify and managed to get permission from the user to read and get access to the information of his songs (playlists, recently played songs, favourite songs, etc.) which also allows us to create a new playlist for the user. In addition, we have succeed to read the sound as input directly to the Atduino - This is a big step towards our final solution and we are extremely thrilled.
