MVP and plans for the next steps

This week we decide about the MVP, the minimal value product that could trust our vision to support the parent-child interaction.

We shared a group conversation. There we discussed about the shapes and the gestures of the product that each of us has imagine being the next prototype we will check. From all the opinions and ideas, we decide to focus at the interaction and the minimal buttons we need to use for enhancing and encourage the child to play, and to start a conversation with the parent or at least to support that. Therefore, we conclude that the MVP should be simply playing joystick with three chronologic buttons- record, play, and effects.

Our MVP for the first user testing

The prototype we made this week is use to encourage the parent-child interaction at a fabricated environment, that supposed to be close to the in-car environment while the parent driving.

Thru the research of this environment we could understand the classic communication between the child and the parent, which will supported by the design (colors, buttons order, shapes), the songs we will use, and the interests the product produce.

In conclusion, we should be able to answer the questions: is the product attractive for the child? How much the pushing of the buttons is intuitive, what encourage the child to start a conversation, and whether there is an option to make it more complicated and challenging by adding the environment that stay out of the car?
