Visit from Rory Hamilton
Rory Hamilton gave a presentation on prototyping and how to provide a valuable user experience without technology. This gave a great insight into the methods that industry companies use and how we can use them to our advantage. It really proved that not everything has to work the way it is perceived to.
In the afternoon we had the chance for a one to one chat with Rory. He could see the potential in my project and suggested I look at mobile technology to carry the playlist instead of a dedicated physical item. He then explained the benefits of RFID and NFC technology and how they are becoming popular in industry. These technologies also have great social integration. This was a valuable conversation which has expanded my thoughts regarding how the playlist with be carried around.
