Reflection

Monisha: Through this process, I learned more about storyboarding and detailing an interaction scenario. I also learned about different aspects to consider when designing a physical product such as tactile feedback. If I could re-do this project, I would work on making sure all the hardware components were wired together as soon as possible before calibrating settings for any of the sensors. That way, it'd be easier to determine if a sensor was a good pick or not for a particular instance.

Brian: The process of this made me learn about how group dynamics work in a relativity small, and short project while working in a larger team. I personally think four people was a bit much for this project since there were times when team members had nothing to do while waiting on others as many task can only be completed by one person. 

Travis: The biggest lesson I learned from this project is to try to integrate all parts as soon as possible. We spent a lot of time getting the individual parts of the project to work correctly but when we went to combine all the different parts we ran into problems that we had not foreseen. A little more time spent on working with the parts all together would have been very helpful for this project.

Shaan: I learned a lot doing this project with a team. 3D printing the handle was difficult because the design took so long to print. And I learned the importance of recognizing the different data sets that we needed to collect as well. Because of the small time frame, we were not able to have all the components as connected as we would have liked, thus leading to a few technical difficulties on Thursday. If I had to add one thing about this product it would be a smaller handle which we could achieve if we used smaller parts and had a little extra time.
