Prototype Testing - Arthur Smith

Scenario 1
"How will the system know when to call an emergency contact? How long does it take for the emergency contact to be called? What if there are any technical difficulties and the system cannot get through to the emergency contact? Will the system be able to have more than one emergency contact?"

Scenario 2
"How is this device powered? If it is powered by a battery what happens if it fails? Is there any chance that the device could brake in any way during an accident?" "I'm not sure I like the idea or having the device around my neck, are there any alternative ways?"

Scenario 3
"Hmmm........that could be quite helpful. I have slight hearing problems, is the volume for the speakers adjustable? As long as I can be successfully woken up, this seems fine."

System Interface
"I didn't like it at first, but once you get used to it and remember the controls, particularly switching from the TV to the interface and hten back, its actually easy to use."

"Wouldn't want to use it while watching any of my favourite TV programs though."

System Features - Manage My Home
"Impressive, I like it. I like the idea of being able to turn any of the lights on and off at the comfort of my sofa, especially when I've just sat down and am exhausted and aslo because of my bad foot." "It's a good way of checking whether to see if you have left anything on that shouldn't be on."

"I'm no expert on mordern technology but I presumme this is all controlled by software?"

System Features - Shopping
"I don't think I'll ever use this, it seems to complicated. I love shopping at my local places and meeting and talking to my locals plus I get a bit of excercise, I wouldn't want that taken any from me."

"My nieces shop online all the time, maybe they would like to use it when they visit."

Remote Design
"Looks simple, easy to use. I just have to make sure I don't loose it like I do with the TV remote."
