Original Idea 
focus on work-life transition
Original Idea 
Developing a work-life transition tool for young adults 
Interviewed 8 users in individual and shared spaces 
Asked questions about leaving and returning home 
Consolidated feedback and user needs
Project Goal 
To develop a system which helps our audience comfortably transition between a relaxed home atmosphere and a busy work life. 
“ 
”
Interviews 
“I forget important things at home” 
“I use notes on the door to communicate with roommates” 
“only really use the upper half” 
“everything else [besides weather] can be done with a phone” 
“I don’t hang around the door when I enter”
Product Concepts 
testing interfaces for solving the transition problem
Features 
Interfaces 
forgotten item reminder 
door 
door “voicemail” 
closet 
remote unlocking 
projected wall 
weather + calendar 
coffee table 
roommate chore manager 
doormat 
outfit recommendations 
mobile app
8 Mixed Concepts
Insight 
Different interfaces suited to different tasks 
Lo-fi solutions often do the job well 
We were trying to solve a broadly defined problem... 
... but not necessarily creating a great product!
Iteration 
simplify to a focused, useful and compelling product
Killed Feature 
Why? 
roommate coordination 
post it notes do this 
forgotten items 
cant solve “where is the item” 
outfit recommendation 
doesn’t align with any goal 
morning news 
replaced by tablet/computer 
lighting + entertainment 
independent products exist
Change in Focus 
Reduced features into a more cohesive set 
Less on shared college living spaces 
Expanded to a broader working demographic 
More focus on interpersonal interactions
Final Concept 
focus on access control and messaging
+
Still a Door 
Solved the most real problems 
Controlled access to the home 
Point of contact for outsiders 
Aware of who’s inside 
Last thing seen before leaving
Features 
Remotely let people into your home 
Allow people to leave messages at the door 
Know which residents are home 
Tell user about the day’s weather on their way out 
Connects to your phone but can also work independently
New Product Goal 
“ 
” 
Control your home from anywhere!
