1-1 Meeting with Sarah #1

Time flys! We talked about some of my past work and also what I planned for the thesis. I made a link for the meeting notes (with a lot of typos in it). I got a lot of things to do after this meeting with a more clear direction to go forward. Imaging my thesis in a public area like a park is an interesting practice and brings out more possible interactions.  Also, since we are still at the start stage, I will try to think broader with different forms and different target audiences.

After meeting:

• A dream review
• Character study & user cases: Developing the interview questions first would help more than random talk (I am nervous about this)
• Imagine my project in three different forms and see how it does or does not communicate and why
• Define “the elderly” in a more detailed form: age range, background, and living situation. etc
• have a user portrait for my target audience
• Review some games that do something similar. Is it successful? why it is successful? which part? Which part doesn’t? Is that the success I want?
