Research Outline Additions

Also:

On 9/23 our research topics were distributed. We plan to

1) conduct preliminary research on our individual research areas - TBD
2) conjure up more research questions about our project - TBD
3) assess the research and research questions and combine findings for an interface analysis - By TBD

By October 7th, we plan to have a final draft of our group outline completed.

Research Outline

We will start with three main research areas. From this research, each of us will provide a minimum of two major findings and minimum of two areas to investigate further. Our high-level research subjects are as follows:

1. Locus of Attention - Deborah
2. Existing Systems - Olivia
3. Technology - Shani
   

Preliminary Research Questions

Good morning girls!

Below I've listed some preliminary research questions we can get started with:

1. What types of technologies will use the digital parking lot awareness interface (PCs, PDAs, LED video display billboards, GPS tracking equipment)?
2. What should we call this interface?
3. If the interface is placed on street corners, which ones should they be?
4. Will all people be able to access the interface (i.e. low-income, disabled, etc)?
5. Should the interface be working at all times or only during important events?
6. Who controls the interface? Is the interface an automatic system or do parking attendants check in each parking space count?
7. What are the constraints (what can’t we design)?

Also do we need to list tasks completed and tasks pending for this week?

Looks Great!

Hey Olivia,

Thanks for setting up the blog, it looks great.

Hopefully by tomorrow evening I can post my preliminary research questions. In the mean time, I need to get back to reading!
