This was the question that kept popping up this week. So what?
After intial concepts Claire, Dharawan and I reevaluated each of our intial designs in order to settle on a design direction for the rest of the project.
Claire's was an interactive children's toy...
and mine was the miss you pillow...
To help decide on which design to move forward with, we looked at how they all fitted into the Object, Scenario and Behaviour dimensions.
It was pointed out to us as we considered each design that we all had a different defining dimension to our designs. Claire's design appealed to the Scenario of the product and the story behind it. The Behaviour of Dharawan's was the prominent theme of her design. It was about how the product worked and how by its behaviour it demonstrated presence in the other persons home. Finally, my design was very focused on the feel and and physical properties of the product and how the person would interact with it.
We felt after discussing the products that Dharawan's was a different and perhaps unique design that would be different to the other designs in the class. Also there are already designs that address the problems that Claire's and my designs addressed.
