Week of March 28, 2016

This week was a little tough in terms of our studio project. Although Austin Lee has held a couple workshops for us to help us prototype CUIs, I still find myself somewhat stumped as to how to prototype our ideas in a believable way. We have run into some challenges related to creating scenarios. Investigator scenarios can be so complex, that it is difficult to simulate a realistic experience. If we scripted something, then we would need to have a pretty solid idea of how an investigative scenario would play out, but due to the complexities, we don’t. If we come up with an open-ended scenario, then we may not be able to control the situation enough to learn what we want to learn from the scenario. So, we are trying to figure out how much realistic content to add to these scenarios.
