We started off the week with a full day of work on Tuesday. Two of the group members started writing the design document while the remaining four carried out a workshop aimed at identifying tasks carried out on a computer, along with possible ways of solving this on a multi-touch interface. This resulted in some simple sketches and mockups.
On Wednesday we met with a friendly interface design company by the name of inUse. The purpose of the meeting was to put faces to names and to kick off our proposed cooperation in this project. They, along with Touchtech, will help us by answering questions and evaluating solutions we come up with throughout the life of the project. The result of this particular meeting was that we were able to take a step back from our project plan and get some much needed perspective. We realised that we need to be more specific in our development rather than aiming for a "general framework". Among other things we started thinking more about the particular situation the interface will be used in and how multi-touch/multi-user can add to the experience.
Today, Friday, we took a critical look at our plan for the project and revised it. After a long workshop involving copious amounts of post-its on walls, we decided to hone in on developing a multi-user interface for meeting and group-work situations. We feel that we can come up with something that is unique, innovative and that has commercial possibilities.
