Invisible Heroes• Device wraps the wrist.

• There is a touching part which provides to feel each other(parent-newcomer) through the mechanism.

• There are lots of pins which gets in and gets out easily.

• Each process has an unique symbol.

• Yeni girişli kolundaki mekanizmayı sembole tuttugunda, ebeveyninin kolundaki mekanizmada da aynı sembol belirecek. Bunlar da iğnelerin içeri girip çıkması yoluyla sağlanacak.

• However, the parent couldn’t reach his/her child through the mechanism with the touching part.

• When the newcomer touches to the touching part, the parent’s device will vibrate.

How & Where?•Student CenterHomes of the families’ of newcomersWe give them the mechanism with a brief explanation and make them to try it. Then they answer the question guide.

Feedback Goals

• Is our mechanism understable?

• Is it working well?

• Is it comfortable to use?

• Is it making the process easier?

Feedbacks

• Keep

*People really liked the ‘touching’ part.

*Also they really liked the symbols.

*They found the device understandable so nobody wanted it to be more abstract.

Increase

• It should be more comfortable.

*too heavy

*some of the participants suggested ‘sound’.

Decrease/Stop

• Shouldn’t be abstract

• We shoud decrease the length of the device to be more lighter.

Comparison

• Concept: emotional

• It seems to be worked.

• 6 out of 9 liked the device.

• 3 out of 9 found it unnecessary.

How To Improve Our Device

• We need to make it more easy to use.

-its length should be shortened.

-it should be alleviated.

-it should enfold the wrist easily.

-Sound instructions may be added.

Revised/ Final Version of Our Device

What Changed?

We talked to 9 people and modified our device according to their feedbacks.

•Its size lessened and binding part shortened to make the usage of our device more comfortable.

•People offered sound system but we didn’t want to include it; because, with sound system, our device would resemble to telephones.

•Also, we colored our device with our participants’ offering.

What Remained Same?

• Touch part of the device was liked by most of the participants. So it remained same.

• Also, the symbols remained same but their demonstration form has changed.
