Hey All,
Here’s a quick update about our team. Last Friday, we checked-in with the
Product Innovation Board (PIB). We shared what we’ve learned, where we are,
and what we’re doing next. Check out our Check-in #2 (vidyo)

User Experience / Research Updates
Our first user study findings report is complete. The goal of our report is
to share what we’ve learned and how we’ve re-framed our hypothesis. Please
feel free to use it as a tool to jump start your own ideas. See our User
Study #1 Findings

Technical Exploration Updates
We’re developing a functional research prototype to share with a small
group of 12-15 year-old girls. We’re investigating the use of the Particle
"Photon" and “Internet Button” products as a quick start way to get a
tactile, connected device into study participants hands. List of issues on
GitHub https://github.com/mozilla/smarthome.iot/issues to implement the
prototype.
What We’re Doing Next
We’re working on round 2 of user research
https://docs.google.com/document/d/12pSCJyFMqwM1lw5yeYd6EKFzL3ok1fFpHwLa-3TQxCY/
based on our current hypothesis
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1v1PRYC6IbkbMk_QroFYhu9DgfvxmmvdbBNOFAeM5oyQ/edit.
Our goal is to recruit 5 daughters of Mozillians, ages 12-15 years, who
would be willing to live with a demo prototype for 3-5 days and use it with
their best friend. Get in touch if you have a daughter who’d like to
participate.
