Because of the cold day, we met with Milestone Labs and the rest of the class virtually. They were still able to go through their presentation with us through sharing their screen, as well as we were still able to meet with just our teams through virtual break out rooms.
My group chose to highlight two of the experts, Ron and Ryan. Through our presentation we didn’t have that big of a solid grasp of an opportunity area, and wanted to engage in more conversation. Luckily we were able to listen to some of the answers Ryan gave to the questions Adam asked, which ultimately helped us decide on our opportunity area.
Ryan talked about how he wasn’t really able to do video interviews, as there was no way for him to set up a heavy camera by himself. This made us thinking about and attachable tripod to the wheelchair that could assist in an interview setting. This insight helped us think in an even broader sense of multitasking. The final opportunity described in one sentence is listed below:
How can we can improve the ability to multitask for people with limited mobility in their arms or are in wheelchairs.
Getting to this statement is really exciting because we weren’t really sure of a set opportunity area in the beginning of class or even when we were presenting. It was interesting to see what other groups were able to come up with as well, and how groups have chosen to focus on different areas.
Going forward I think we should interview the experts to see in what situations they multitask, as well as do research on common multitasking situations. We can also do research on tools that are used if someone can’t use their hands, as if a wheelchair user is using their hands to move forward, they won’t be available to do other tasks.
I am excited to keep working on this opportunity and see where it leads us!
