Day 5-8

Since the last update on this blog we have formulated questions for semi-structurered interviews. During the Easter Holiday we have interviewed some relatives / family. From this we found:

• Rewards are an important factor when discussing motivation for excercise. An example is in a gym class in a state school: If 7 of the children / teenagers ran a distance faster than their teacher, the teacher would buy the class soft drinks.
• More to come..

The following day we talked about our target area, and we ended up settling on motivation to excercise for 18-30 year old people to prevent obesity. We also created a survey using Google which will later be published.

Today, 11. of  April 2012, following Tim's lecture we took note of the Nike+ Fuel Band. We looked this up as an inspiration and found other a-like products:

• BodyBugg
• Adidas miCoach
• FitBit ultra
• JawBone Up

A lot of these are some kind of bracelet which tracks your movement which you later can look up on a matching website. The ability to compete with your friends by sharing this data was also a common seen feature.

We will now concentrate on the Brief Projekt for Friday.
