Summary of key features/concepts to incorporate into the device discussed. Issues revolve around software, hardware, connectivity, privacy and brand name considerations.
Investigation of existing online map tools such as (http://www.loki.com/). Which is an application that claims to combine the physical with the digital to make the Internet a truly personal and local experience. It harnesses the World Wide Web by automatically identifying your exact physical location and then making the web revolve around you.

Discussion of two key features: the dashboard and the bucket.
Dashboard
This will be a key feature of our system and really highlight the contextual nature of the information we’re presenting. The dashboard will draw from local networks the device senses, Mark’s calendar, unread messages, etc. This is meant to be an intelligent starting point when you first turn on the device.
Bucket
We talked about the idea of an information bucket. Mark can place any type of information (calendar event, address, flight number, food icon, etc.) and re-arrange these objects. Picture some sort of continuum that represents the whole day.

Discussion of think aloud method leads to the creation of a think aloud protocol to be used by team members when evaluating the paper prototypes. Creation of a scenario for the paper prototype testing allows users to imagine a context of use while using the think aloud method to give us feedback.
Finalized paper prototype task screens uploaded for each member to print. Team members conduct prototyping sessions.
