Prototype Development and Testing

  • Continued work to test value propositions.
    • Finalizing a questionnaire and visual designs to use in a study next week with targeted market segment to test value props. Targeting Oct. 24th to launch this study.
    • Developing ad copy for a campaign to drive traffic to a landing page
    • Finalizing copy for landing page that will feature a video.
    • Writing script for the video that will describe the overall purpose and functionality of Abigail to get consumer feedback. Feedback from the study will be incorporated into the video.
  • Reviewed first drafts of industrial design proposals. Feedback is being incorporated into the second drafts which will be reviewed today (Oct. 20).

Work Week Update

  • Completing work for end-to-end integration for reminder use-case.
    • Further work breakdown was completed on the first day.
    • Good progress is being made and work is on track for on time completion.

Schedule

  • Value proposition validation - Oct. 24 - early November
  • Prototype development: month of October
  • 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
Project Magnet David/Maria Gate 0 On Target
  • Finishing our first Sprint (Sprint 6) after passing Gate 0 (more details of the sprint in our Waffle and our wiki):
    • Upgrade to latest react-native version as there were errors when compiling magnet for iOS10 and bugfixing
    • Investigate and implement GPS solutions in React Native (iOS and Android)
      • Implement GPS content discovery on client
      • Geo Backend: Implement Magnet Service
    • Metrics: Modify the metrics to identify Beacons URL and GPS or Virtual Beacons
    • Provide content for the London Pilot that fit our target audience and our technical requirements
    • Design of several options for the final UX of our client (High level)
  • Working in the presentation for the PIB (Oct 21st) to nail down the target audience and stories for our Pilot/MVP

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

Game board prototype.png

  • Evaluating Hall sensors and magnets
    • Prototype spinner developed

Kevin's spinner.png

  • Identified specific requirements around basic game play
  • Working on a demo for the Gate 0 Pitch presentation
Lighthouse Preeti/Julie Gate 0 On Target

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
