Speed Dating
Concept evaluation
We conducted speed dating in an in-class environment to evaluate our four main concept areas. This resulted in an addition of a new scenario and the removal of a few scenarios. We augmented this with 3 speed dating sessions with actual dog owners.
- Individual Tracking: tracking of weight and temperature
- General Health Info: based on dog breed, age, time of year
- Local Health Info: local health alerts such tick season, new cases of worms
- Political Activism: petitions, new political initiatives
- Hot topics: garbage pick-up social event, puppy meet and greet
- Etiquette: your dog misbehaves, another owner misbehaves
- Frequency Use Info: most popular time of day, most popular day of the week
- Photo Booth/ Webcam: purchase pictures of you and your dog at the park
- Social games: involves multiple dogs and owners
- Individual games: vends toys to use with your dog
Findings
Based on the follwing findings from the speed dating, we narrowed down our focus into "dog park info" and "game play" concept.
- Non-localized information can be found elsewhere.
- Dog park activities should be the focus.
- Practicality matters.
