My final presentation was on Tuesday, and I was quite worried in the lead-up,a s I was unsure if my ideas would get across to the audience.
Feedback to my video was quite good, however the comment was made that perhaps I should have tackled the issue from a user perspective, however I purposely did not in order to ensure that connect was explained in its entirety.
One interesting response from Adam was that while I said that connect was about communication, it was really about expression. I agree with this to some extent- it is about user expression, as it allows the user to express them-self, and the user does already posses the ability to hear and see, however connect provides much more than this. Connect also allows the user to explore a new world, and to search for information or entertainment that they desire.
Feedback to my presentation and panel were very good- the style was appreciated as it was simple and easy to follow, but still explained the concept in depth.
One criticism was that my idea lacked rigor- though I am not really sure what was meant by that.
Perhaps, if i were to present again, I would have made a second video to show a user interacting with connect, albeit in a respectful way. One of the main issues I encountered was how to present this quite complex idea in an easy-to-follow way.
This semester, I have learnt more about the design process, and design thinking, than in any past semester, because I have had to explore it in a new, unfamiliar way. I now understand that design is a thought process, a way of interpreting a problem and conceptualising a solution, which can be applied across a number of fields.
