Interview
Me: Hello, how are you today?
User: Good. What’s up?
Me: Do you remember the object inventory I asked you to give me? I want to ask you some questions based on these objects.
User: Sure.
Me: OK, so why do you use these objects?
User: Well, for the laptop and notebook, I use them to study. For the camera, I use it to take photos. For the teacup, I use it to drink water, tea and coffee, and so on. For the scarf, I use it to protect myself from the cold weather.
Me: Good, do you think they are easy to use?
User: Yes. But the camera is a bit heavy and the scarf is too short.
Me: Oh, so do you like your camera and scarf?
User: I like my camera. It is just a bit heavy but it is ok. But I don’t really like my scarf because it is too short.
Me: If I am going to redesign your scarf, what would you want me to design it into?
User: Emm…maybe a hat? If you can design it into gloves, I will be very happy, too. Because the weather in Sydney now is quite cold. I really need a hat to protect my head from the weather, and I also want to buy a pair of gloves to protect my hands from the cold weather.
Me: Awesome! What about redesigning it into a bag or skirt?
User: Good idea! You can try!
Me: Actually, I need to redesign it into six different things. Do you have any other ideas?
User: I can’t think of any ideas right now. Maybe you can redesign it whatever you want!
Me: OK, the last question, how do they affect your daily habits?
User: I need to analyze data on my laptop. I can take notes in my notebook. the scarf helps protect me from the weather. The teacup allows me to drink water more easily. I don’t think my camera can influence my daily habits.
Me: All good, thank you for spending time on my interview. I will redesign your scarf to six different things. Have a good day!
User: Have a good day!
