Vision
Hypothesis Tested by a Study
*Increase the amount of stress free, uninterrupted quality time that families spend with each other
Assumptions
*Busy families are looking for an alternative solution other than what they currently use (memory, post-its, black boards, calendar apps etc.) to manage & organize their schedule
*Busy families are looking for an alternative solution that is inclusive of the entire family's’ needs and not just for an individual responsible for coordinating & maintaining the family schedule
*Families are looking for a solution that can serve as a hands free alternative when in need
*VOICE is a friction free way to create reminders, lists, coordinate schedules.
*Busy families would require an alternative way to create & manage reminders, lists & schedules using a SMART DISPLAY that would further simplify their management.
*Busy families would require access to these sets of functionalities whether they are at home & away
*Busy families would require access to the functionality as they are moving about in their homes


Hypothesis
The Cue team tested the following hypothesis in a follow-up study over the past few days that included busy family representatives from the first study:
*By creating a voice enabled solution to create reminders, lists, coordinate schedules, we will reduce the time taken to perform these tasks by 20%.
*By creating a voice enabled solution to create reminders, lists, coordinate schedules, we will reduce the time taken to perform these tasks by 20%.
*By offering a solution that provides an alternative way to create and manage reminders, lists & schedules using a smart display, families would be able to accomplish their tasks 20% more times than before.
*By offering a solution that provides an alternative way to create and manage reminders, lists & schedules using a smart display, families would be able to accomplish their tasks 20% more times than before.


Prototype MVP
Study Interviews
*Voice enabled solution to create & access reminders
*Study participants were asked a series of questions focused on three primary areas: reminders, lists, and event and activity coordination of family members and those outside the family.  These interviews were recorded and notes taken for later synthesis of data collected. The interviews began at the end of last week and took only a few days to complete.
*Smart Display to view & delete reminders
*Interview questions were designed to collect deeper insight into what types of reminders, lists, schedules people are currently using and managing in their lives.
*Voice & Visual feedback
*The study also included exercises where:
*Notifications to multiple devices
**participants were asked to set two reminders using the method they normally use. They were then asked to use a prototype  to set the same reminders using voice. Each of these exercises was timed so that a comparison could be made post-study about the potential time savings that might be realized.
*Remote access to retrieve/create reminders
**participants were asked to set some example reminders of their choosing verbally to gain an understanding of the speech patterns they use to set reminders.  This exercise was repeated for to-do lists and to schedule events both within the family & outside the families.
 
*Participants were also asked to enter a few prescribed reminders verbally into the prototype and then were asked for feedback on the use of voice to create the reminders.
Study
*At the end of the interview participants were asked questions to gain design insights into what would be important to them when setting reminders, creating lists, and coordinating schedules, both from a voice perspective and also from a visual perspective.
*Focus will be on reminders, lists, and event and activity coordination of family members and those outside the family  
*The next step for the team is to synthesize the data and determine if the hypothesis was proved to be true or not. Input will be evaluated for what is important in the design of Cue. This evaluation will also result in the formulation of additional hypotheses to be tested.
*Study will include questions, exercises on reminders and design, and interaction with a prototype
*Recruitment
**Preferably select 5-7 of the same families of friends and neighbors interviewed for the initial study given that they have the context of the study.
*Goals
**Get a deeper insight on what types of reminders, lists, schedules people are looking to manage
**Get an understanding of the speech patterns: Determine 2-3 speech patterns (different ways of instructing the robot) to set reminders, to-do lists, schedule events both within the family & outside the families
**Gather feedback on the voice interaction to create reminders
**Gain a better insight into other ways that these families foresee interacting with this device
**Walk through and get a high level feedback on the paper prototype. Or might hold a separate session with recruited users for determining the right interface.
