To find out about people&#8217;s thoughts, these were the questions that we asked on the survey.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The character\u2019s story affected me emotionally<\/li>\n<li>I felt like I could put myself in the shoes of the character<\/li>\n<li>What factors, if any, made you feel sympathy for the character?<\/li>\n<li>What would you like to see happen next for the character?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There was no clear, meaningful result we found from the playtest. However, we believe this was due to the group of people who participated in the survey. We plan to distribute this survey and get answers from a more diverse group of people.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Digital playtest<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For Friday, we did a digital playtest and focused on honing down on interaction with each object.<\/p>\n<p>For the prototype, we had four objects.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polaroid camera &#8211; photo ejects when user clicks on it<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planner &#8211; page flips.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wand &#8211; Star particles fall from the sound accompanied by sound.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The notebook was close to the players so they chose it first.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>From the previous playtest, we realized some of the interactions were not obvious or interesting. So we tried to choose an object with interesting interaction and at the same time, a personal meaning. Also, we tried to make the interaction more obvious but delightful.<\/p>\n<p>After the playtest, many playtesters thought the interactions were intuitive and interesting. Many people liked the wand especially because of the particle effect and how it supported the story. However, the card animation that played after users interacted with the object seemed to be bit distracting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Next playtest<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These\u00a0are the things we will be doing for the next playtest.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An object that leads you to the doctor &#8211; envelope<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design next phase of the experience(Doctor scene)<\/span>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Change scene to hospital room\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You hear memory about the doctor <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The doctor has his own voice. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You go back to your room. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week was quarters and our team had our\u00a0walkarounds on Monday.
