* | '''Prototype Development and Testing''' | ||
* | *Continued discussing hardware components for the prototype and especially the power requirements and how to solve for that | ||
*Met with industrial design consultant who will make some mock ups to consider next week | |||
*Made progress in code to wake up device with a tap | |||
*Completed revisions in Vaani server code | |||
*Continued work to engage a company to produce a video to describe the overall purpose and functionality of Abigail to get consumer feedback. | |||
*Working on value propositions | |||
*Leveraging detailed research study with busy families (about 20 in Vancouver and local Bay Area) conducted by Rina and Mihaela, where questions were around concepts that were a focus of Cue, Vaani, and Smart Kitchen past projects. They’re working on synthesizing this data. | |||
*Working on best ways to collect data from study participants - i.e. forming the right questions | |||
'''Work Week Goals''' | |||
*Complete end-to-end integration for one reminder use-case, say “Remind me to pickup Sasha at 4pm today” | |||
**From wifi setup to receiving notification for a single user (text message notification unless team can solve the ios notification issue) | |||
*Finalize details of User Study Plan, including what we want to learn and how | |||
'''Schedule''' | |||
*Prototype development: month of October (includes Oct 17th Work Week in SF) | |||
*Assembly of devices: week of October 31 | |||
*Testing in homes: November 7 - 18 | |||
*Data synthesis from pilot and video/landing page studies: November 21 - 29 | |||
*Gate 1 pitch: November 30 | |||

* | '''Product Definition''' | ||
* | *Focus is on product differentiation and tech enhancements that will bring something totally new with this concept | ||
*Use case refinement has narrowed the scope of a first iteration prototype that will be proposed in Gate 0 pitch | |||
*Refining the Gate 0 pitch and will send it out for feedback in the coming week | |||
*Gate 1 pitch: November 30 | |||
'''Engineering''' | |||
*Development of a game board simulator and also a physical board with an LED base | |||
[[File:Game board prototype.png|500px]] | |||
*Evaluating Hall sensors and magnets | |||
**Prototype spinner developed | |||
[[File:Kevin's spinner.png|300px]] | |||
*Identified specific requirements around basic game play | |||
*Working on a demo for the Gate 0 Pitch presentation | |||

* | '''Engineering''' | ||
* | *Work on image matching is progressing well. Might work well enough to not have to worry about separating out background during image acquisition | ||
*Testing alternatives for mic/speaker, including Wolfson card, Wilson card that uses I2S expansion bus on rpi, as well as USB option. Goal is to make a quick decision so that prototype can be assembled in time for the study. | |||
* Team is looking for an additional engineer to help on this project | |||
'''User Study with Prototype''' | |||
*Testing hypotheses around technical feasibility, that study participants will trust it, not the testing of specific form factors. | |||
*Current thinking is that team members will accompany participants on shopping outings and possibly assist in taking photos of the items being purchased, as the focus of the study is on how well image matching works, not on how easy it is for the participants to take the photos. | |||
'''Schedule''' | |||
*Complete development of prototype: October | |||
*Assemble prototypes: Oct 31 - Nov 4 | |||
*Prototype pilot: Nov 7 - 18 | |||
*Data synthesis from pilot and video/landing page studies: November 21 - 29 | |||
*Gate 1 pitch: November 30 | |||
