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 8 - Towards A Solution
This week we got closer for defining our solution. In order to do that we needed to complete a few assignment meant to help us focus on what we want. ​
​
The first thing we needed to do is decide on three design values that will defined our product. The values we chose are:
1. Human – human – robot interaction in order to enhance the interaction and not replace it.
2. Does not interfere the driver – for safety matters.
3. Nonverbal communication – we want the robot to communicate through visual gesture, like in a normal two-person interaction.
​
After defining this three values we were ask to use the 'Perfect assistant' method. The main idea of the method says that if hypothetically you had someone who knows everything what he would do. That direction of thinking can maybe help us to think out of the box.
​
The next task was doing a technical system requirements, 4 step flow and a market research graph. You can check out the last two here.
