Open Questions and Next Steps

If I had more time or if I were to continue working on this project, I would play around with the LED light animation more. I got some feedback on making the light also seem alive by creating a breathing animation. There were also some thought-provoking questions like “how do you make sure users think something that happened was not an error but an actual feature?”. Since this project is about counter-functional products, I thought this question was pretty hard to answer because the whole idea was going the opposite way of common sense. Nevertheless, from a user experience perspective, I think all products should offer enough affordances and help users understand as they interact with them. This is something that I need to think about for my future projects as well.
