Recipe rewriting, setting up a technology stack, building the cooking room interface, and brainstorming with Chris and Dave!
Recipe rewriting, setting up a technology stack, building the cooking room interface, and brainstorming with Chris and Dave!
Last Friday night, I ran yet another prototyping session, to test out for the first time the custom interface I hacked together. This was also the first time I did not participate in the actual cooking. In the end, I learned that I had to kill one of my darlings after all, but luckily I have some new directions to follow.
In my meeting with Frank (our Thesis Dev teacher) this week, he advised 2 things:
With #1 in mind, I ran another Google+ Hangouts prototype on Wednesday. With #2 in mind, I invited just one person: a friend on the west coast.
On Sunday evening at 8, I ran my first prototype. Six friends and I gathered on Google+ Hangouts to cook Roasted Butternut Squash and Apple Soup. The purpose of this prototype was to understand what the actual experience of cooking while video chatting would be like.
