It's been a while...
On Thursday, iX presented at a Design X meeting at the Center for Design Research. We went over a brief introduction, what our project generally is (and aims to do), a technical explination of how it does it, and future developments. We had some really good comments from the group about the table's future in CDR (it should be an ongoing, "residential" demo), its potential for future development (such as Ozgur's suggestion of adapting the news sites into design/ design research sites around the world), and possible funding/corporate interest (perhaps from news sites like Yahoo! or Google). We're doing a smiliar (although not really the same) presentation for the iWork/HCI group on Wednesday, but by then we'll have the results of our...
... User study that we did yesterday (Friday). It went really well but was really looong for myself and Corina (we put in an 11 hour day!). It was stressful at times, but a general success, I'd say, especially considering it was our very first attempt at a user study. User Studies are really hard and detailed and tricky to deal with, and we ran in to a lot of problems along the way (due to a malfunctional computer, we did lose some data, unfortunately) but all in all it was a success. Corina and I went over some of the results and data today (the surveys, mostly) and got a lot of really, really good feedback.
Speaking of feedback! If any of our readers out there have seen us present or did our user study, please comment on our table! We'd love to hear from you, and the more feedback, the better!
