Presenting Out Prototype

After the running through the idea for a whole semester, we are now facing D-day. Presenting the idea before a team of experts.

We rehearsed our 7-minute pitch again and again to present our ideas as accurately and as we can...

With stress levels high as possible we presented the idea. The presentation went well beside one mistake. We argued that our system not only offers conversations but also tries to achieve meaningful conversations. We tried to please the audience and market our idea ending in presenting it the wrong way.

Criticism

Much of the criticism towards blossom was for claiming to make meaningful conversations, tough our perception is that the more family members talk amongst themselves the better. We only try to present and reward the interaction.

other criticism was towards flower idea, whether it stimulates motivation to initiate a phone conversation, something we will off course check. As well as if at all have a true advantage in taking a physical being. Other stated we should check the quality of the conversation a well as thinking about the connection between the flower and the app.

All in all, we were surprised that none of the criticism was new to us. We understood that after working on something for while you become an expert to the subject. It doesn’t matter that the people that came to the presentation are expert in their field, we used this explanation to understand why we were not surprised by any remark.
