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 4 - Class Presentation
This week we presented our finding from the observation of the past week. We got some interesting feedback and questions that will help us move on the next level.
​
The main points that came up are:
​
- We should check the difference between driver to passenger interaction and passenger to passenger interaction.
- Looking at the service taxi can tell us that having known rules can bring down the awkward feeling.
- We need to dig in deeper in the awkwardness and what is exactly causing it.
- what is better - paying the driver or doing it as a favor? is one less awkward?
- What are the differences between men and women?
