Week 15: Festival!

This week was exciting for us, because we got to showcase our product for non-ETCers at the ETC Festival.

We set up for the festival by arranging our room to look like a home living room. We moved couches to face the TV, and hung decorative lights.

During the festival, we had the TV playing the three Relationship Status episodes included in our product (episodes 1, 4, and 5) on a loop. When guests came in, we told them that our experience was designed to compliment the show. Guests could choose whether to see our experience immediately, or to watch a bit of the show first, for context.

We were thrilled to see that most of our guests enjoyed our product. Even guests who chose not to watch any Relationship Status before opening our app were interested in the questions we posed, and many ended up watching the matching clips so they could see where the questions came from in the context of the show. Guests were able to easily navigate through the UI, and enjoyed the personality descriptions they were given.
