* | '''Concept Validation Testing''' | ||
* | *Data is coming in from the study that was started October 28th to test Abigail product concepts: 1) Smart Family Tracker and 2) Smart Reminders for the Whole Family. Now starting to evaluate the data. | ||
*Data from Facebook campaign, active since October 26th to test consumer interest using different product concepts, is being looked at and analyzed. [http://www.mozilla-campaigns.org/project-abigail-product-page/ Abigail product page]. | |||

*Made decision to hold off on the video. Will need to find other ways to collect data the video had been expected to capture. | |||
'''Engineering''' | |||
*The 5 prototype devices are prepared and ready for use in the study. Resolved wifi issue. Plan to test with a Mozillian tomorrow for a dry run. | |||
*Working this week on a date issue and minor bug fixing. | |||

'''Abigail Study with Prototypes''' | |||
*Wrapping up the questions for the prototype study guide that will be used during the visits to participant homes. | |||
*Study will include consumer interaction with the prototypes and collection of feedback regarding usage and responses to questions asked of the consumers. | |||
*The scheduling of participant sessions is nearly complete, with 10 of the 11 that have been identified scheduled for the week of November 13th. | |||
'''Schedule''' | |||
*Value proposition validation - Oct. 24 - early November | |||
*Prototype development: month of October | |||
*Assembly of devices: October 31 - November 12 | |||
*Bug fixing: October 31 - November 12 | |||
*Testing in homes: November 13 - 18 | |||
*Data synthesis from pilot and video/landing page studies: November 21 - 29 | |||
*Gate 1 pitch: December 8 | |||

* | '''Engineering''' | ||
* | *Still investigating how to build a PCB to eliminate as many "loose" components as possible. Looking for an EE consultant to help with this. | ||
[[File:Game ON Prototype landscape.JPG|300px]] | |||
*Working to improve the sensitivity of the Halls sensors after eliminating relays. | |||
*Made the spinner wireless, but it takes a lot of battery power so investigating best battery to use. | |||
*Submitting a P.O. to purchase a 3D printer. | |||
*Researching other games that can be used with the prototype. | |||
*If you haven't seen the video that shows game play using the prototype, a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dGaiOGcQ9w&feature=youtu.be demo of the game board] has been recorded. | |||
'''Research''' | |||
*Continuing research into competitor products, possible game ideas. | |||
*Met with the UX team and began a conversation about possible consumer segment change from kids to millennials. | |||
'''Consumer Studies''' | |||
*Working on plan to test the prototype with Mozilla kids and parents at the Hawaii work week. Will be able to test the technology and consumer reaction to how well it performs, as well as remote play. | |||
*Team is consulting with the research team on development of a study to test consumer response to the product. | |||

* | '''User Studies''' | ||
* | *Fixed remaining issues with the prototype and readied it for testing. | ||
*First shopping trips for prototype testing were held. Photos were taken of items while in the store, with the participants' descriptions of the items recorded and stored with the images. | |||
*Image matching session followed the shopping trips. Items purchased in the store were brought to the Santa Clara Valley Blind Center. Photos were taken of these items, and descriptions were matched correctly to the items with about a 90% success rate. Results were shared with the engineering team. | |||
*Response to the device by the study participants was extremely positive. | |||
*Another round of testing the prototype with an addition 4 participants is scheduled for next week. | |||
*Product study with 25 participants at the SCVBC is scheduled for November 18th to gauge reaction to and to gain impressions of various form factors. | |||
'''Engineering''' | |||
*Discussed feedback from the first prototype testing sessions, held earlier this week to determine what needs to be worked on prior to next week's round of testing. | |||
*Next steps are to focus on bug fixes, possible volume control. Discussed improvements that could be made in how the mic/speaker is installed within the casing to improve ability to hear sound. Conducting analysis of why some images failed to match. | |||
*Would like to consult with an image processing expert. Would also like to consult again on the hardware design and form factor after the study results are in. | |||
