RAPID PROTOTYPING:
Low fidelity talk tubes prototypes will be placed on G-Street with hidden phones on a speaker call with one another to simulate them functioning.
RESULTS:
We took to the street mid week from 4:00-6:00pm to gain immediate feedback.
We observed an interaction every 2.5 minutes during the 90 minute trial period, and conducted intercept interviews.
"I never thought I'd have the courage to talk through the tube untill I heard a voice coming through.... it was wonderful to actually meet someone new"
