Prototype Evolution

As far as any radical change goes, my group's project has followed a fairly direct path.  What we have had to do to improve our prototype has not been to make any great changes, but rather to specify the details that will define the overarching theme of the project; we are going to try the project on a small scale in the test run next week, and we are hoping that this will give us insights into whether or not the project should be done with a lot of testing with a small group or with quick testing on a larger group of participants.  We have also decided that participants will be painting on roll paper using acrylic paints and that there will be a member of our group who will be there to hand the participant brushes with specified colors.  The participants will be blindfolded, and as of now each will be listening to music on sound-canceling headphones.  We will be trying out different kinds of music in the test run, which will hopefully clarify many elements of the process involved in our project.  However, the project requires very little in terms of setup and budget and therefore does not have too many precariously moving parts.

  1. I'd like to hear about your first impressions of your test run. I think you'd be surprised to find how many details are important in the setup and planning of your experience - especially since this sort of project has been done before. How is your team going to make it unique and meaningful?
