Tiffany's Guide to Navigating the Fung Fellowship: A Personal (Public) Diary

 Previously, from last assignment creating a digital prototype of my product: For this assignment, I took to the streets (my mutuals and fellow active watch users) to interview three people about my product and see how it could influence their lives! Since I didn't have a physical prototype with me, I led my three chosen peers through a mental exercise, asking them to close their eyes while I explained my product to them and described how each feature would come into handy whether they were new to digital watches or avid Apple and FitBit watch users.  My goal for this interview was to see whether or not my product would be unique enough with the features I've implemented to actually convince users to want to buy into it. To be honest, I feel as if my own product isn't very unique in any sense, it just takes the best parts of most watches on the market and combines it into one product. But even then, I feel like there are similar products to my prototype. Regardless, I devel...

 For this assignment, I took to the digital drawing boards to continue prototyping my idea. I utilized WebSim, a tool that David introduced to us earlier in the semester, to help with my digital prototype. I decided to use this tool instead of Figma mainly because it was easier for me to pull out shapes to correspond to different features of the watch that I wanted to illustrate. In the end, I decided to keep very basic features of the watch I wanted to maintain, in terms of health metrics. I then decided to add particular features to the watch that would make it my ideal digital watch: an OLED screen and a control interface that would act like a condensed user dashboard. The latter feature is most convenient for me because when I think about running, I don't want to micromanage the screen of my watch and have to find a "record" button or "start" button. There are features I can customize and add to this dashboard that would allow me to click a physical button a...
