Project Haiku	Maria/Liz	On Target	We have been working on 2 ideas for a wearable device that lights up/buzzes when people I care about are available. Idea 1 is a device that lets me set/unset my status for my friends to see. Idea 2 is a device that lets me request the current status of my friends - my friends can then send back an auto-reply that means "Busy now, txt you later." On Wednesday, we'll have results from our survey to learn about How many people are considered "priority people"? (both ideas) What are the types of auto-replies people would need to make this device valuable to them? (idea 2) We've created an HTML client to explore (and test) interactions and animations. Runs locally for now. Survey results will be used to refine that.
