Pressure CookerOf course we, as every project group, started off with the pressure cooker.We were a bit surprised by the approach of the beginning on our project,because we expected more or less an introduction to the study and a generaltake off. But we tried to make the best of it, started reading our projectdescription and started brainstorming.Surprisingly, this went pretty well and we already had lots of (diverse) ideas.Of course with the pressure cooker we had a tight schedule, so decisions hadto be made quickly. Eventually we chose our idea of a ‘touchscreentable’,which was a lot like the entertaible from Philips we heard later on. Because aworking prototype was impossible within this pressure cooker, we tried toexplain our concept by the use of a role-play.Although we didn’t really notice it yet, we actually already learned a lotabout our project. We received our feedback where was said that one of themain principles of our project was (and is) that our concept had to bepractical; you have to be able to carry it with you. In other words, our ‘table’wouldn’t fit the bill as a good idea for this project. Furthermore, the expertstold us that the design of the table wasn’t the big issue, but that the softwarewas the tricky part. And of course because our concept was a lot like theentertaible, it already warned us that we always have to keep track off thelatest designs/products in our target area.
