Idea Selection:
i. the most practical idea
Dedicate a specific one day of the week to each interest. This idea doesn’t require any
fancy gadgets just a willing participant.
Prototype 1 is a simple spinner. The user spins it and the outcome of the spin is the
activity for Monday and so on. There is a lot of flexibility here. The user may just choose
to spin each day and be surprised as to what the activity of the day is. They may also do
this weekly. I’m sure that there are many possibilities here.
2. User feedback on Prototype 1:
What worked:
- It works if I have 8 activities but don’t
know what I want to do first. A perfectly
valid way of choosing activities.
What would be improved:
- nothing
Questions:
none
Ideas:
Tried and true method for people who don’t
know what they want to do.
ii. the most disruptive idea
Get the skills/experiences offered by your interests immediately by downloading them
directly to your brain. This is available via wireless connection to the cloud based
resource.
I did not prototype this idea.
3. iii. your favorite idea
Approach Netflix to create and interest profile for you. You would be able to choose an
activity of your interests and set preferences of how you liked it, if you want to do it less
or more. You could choose from video instructions or Netflix would schedule a visit or
an appointment for you with a trainer of your choice. You could also choose a
holographic personality based on experts that are no longer living (example learn to
dance from Ginger Rogers or learn history of Egypt from Cleopatra through fully
holographic environment). Activity suggestions would be purely based on your ‘viewing’
pleasure. Your activities outside of this may be recorded and stored for future use. Your
preference may also include subliminal messages to encourage you to the activities that
you don’t quite enjoy, but require these to lead a healthy lifestyle.
Prototype 2 – is the idea based on Netflix like strategy to choosing activities. The below
describes the basic idea. Of course, there are many fine details missing in this concept
drawing.

It didn’t work for me because this activity
What would be improved:
- Nothing. You did not come up with

do not work for me. The choice would be
