The document summarizes an interview with Eric, a busy business man in his 30s who struggles to wake up in the morning. Eric complained that his alarm clock does not help wake him up. The interviewer created an empathy map, noting that Eric seemed frustrated and wished for a perfect alarm. Eric said it is hard to wake up to alarms that do not help, and he hopes for something besides noise to wake him as a heavy sleeper. The interviewer proposed an alarm clock that not only wakes the user but also helps them benefit and exercise their brain in the morning.
2. Ive interviewed a business man named Eric, Eric
is in his mid 30s, hes Asian and worked in a very
successful business. Doing the interview, Eric
constantly complained to me how his alarm clock
never wakes him up. Heres a my Empathy
map, showing what I have picked up doing the
interview.
I hope you enjoy my Empathy map, please feel
free to give me great feedbacks. I will use your
suggestion and feedbacks and includes them in
the future assignments.
3. From what I have interviewed Eric, I dropped
down few interesting quotes.
It is very hard to
wake up with
alarm clocks that
does not help you
at all.
I hope one day,
there's a perfect
alarm for me
It is so annoying
to wake up late
to work, school
etc.
Im a heavy
sleeper, I hope
there's something
beside noises that
can wake me up.
My sleeping
schedule is not
good enough, I
dont sleep well
enough.
My brain is
always dead
4. This is what I noticed from what Eric was
doing
Eric waved his
arms a lot, I
noticed he was
really frustrated.
Twirling his
thumbs
Actions like
face
palming
His actions
are very
weak
5. This is what I felted in the interview:
Eric was very tired, and
frustrated at the same
time. He wishes his
clock nightmare
finish quickly
I can fee the same with
him, cause I have the
same situation
struggles as him
He
sounded
very sad
I feel sorry for Eric, but also I
feel happy that I have
solution/plan forming in my
head
It might be a hard
work, but it feels really
good after hearing his
struggles and you
know you can help Eric.
6. A solution
that does not
need sound
to wake a
person up
An alarm clock that does
not only wake the user but
also helps them to benefit
A popular alarm
clock, its
fun, useable, an
d strongEasy to use not for
students but for
elders too and
disabled people
7. Eric is a busy, reliable, creative, hard-working
and focused worker who needs a way to have
an interesting as well as helpful way to help
him get up, because he needs to wake up
early everyday to get to his job and to have
his brain warmed up for his task at work.
8. Eric is a :
Busy : Cause he needs to wake up very early
to do his job.
Reliable: Because he works very hard to
complete his goal and task
Creative: Eric tried many ways to wake
himself up
Hard-Working: He is a very busy person, as
well as hard working
Focused: Eric is a very focused person who
works really hard.
9. Eric needs an alarm thats very suitable to
him, that does not just wake him up but also
exercise his brain while he gets up. So he can
be ready for his work.
10. Because his work means a lot to him, so he
needs a good, helpful alarm clock not only
can wake him up but also helps his brain
while he's getting up. So he would not be late
and his brain would be ready by the time he
gets there.
