Final Evaluation: Henry Doughton

The TV Interface

Now thats what I like to see, the T.V... Its Nice to be able to turn the heating on without having to stop watching what's on. Although I think I'd find myself distracted by watching the T.V. and turning on the kitchen lights by mistake, but thats not a problem since I could just turn them off again.

Navigation Options

I'll never really get the hang of this new fangled technology. It looks easy enough to use, and I like the idea of their being an exit thing always on the screen. It means that when I mess it up and get lost which I will do at some point, I can easily get back out.

Referring to the Menus

As I already mentioned I like being able to watch the T.V. while doing things on the home help thing. I like that everything is nicely labeled it makes it a lot easier to know what I'm doing.

Home Shopping

I love it, its a brilliant idea. I have to bother my daughter in law every week to help me go and get my shopping, with this I can get it all myself and sneak a few treats in as well. I liked it the first time, but this looks nicer and appears to be really easy to use.

Final observations

I'm just a big kid at heart and I think I'd play with the curtains and lights just because I could. Also if I want to turn the oven on for my tea when I think about it sames me getting up, turning it on and coming back to wait for it to warm up.

The external scenarios


Firstly I thought the acting was terrible, who hired those people?

It is a pressing issue falling over and not one that I like to think of too much. Its nice to know that I could get help quickly, because I don't want to end up like a friend of mine who ended up on their back for the best part of a day because no-one was around to check on them. At first I was very skeptical of the idea that people would always know what I'm doing, but the more I look at it, the less I think that they are trying to spy on me and more that everyone wants to know I'm safe.

Fire Scenario

I like not having to worry about calling for help since it does that for me, but I'm not too sure about how loud that remote things going to be. Will it go off and call the fire brigade if I burn my toast?

Issues derived from this analysis

In general Henry Seems to like the system and found it quite useful. He could clearly see the merits of the system and with only a few minor criticisms seemed to think it was a good idea.I
