Future Vision
The act of going from Point A to Point B, especially in our modern times, can be met with anxiety and stress. Within the timeframe allowed, the group and I were able to use empathy, ideation, experimentation, and testing methods to produce a weather-based prototype called Future Vision - Weather & Travel.

Experiment & Test
Peer evaluation
Each group member created a prototype for their respective ideas, and conducted a peer reviewed walkthrough. Through evaluating each other's prototype we offered feedback, and created prototype test plans.
Obtaining feedback
Test sessions were facilitated via Zoom. Each included with an introduction, overview of the testing goals, explanation of interviewer and observer roles, and request for consent to record. Interviewer roles were assumed by the team member that designed each prototype.
