 Today was a huge step in our collective thought process. For the past few days, we have been obsessed with one idea, and made it our pet project. We were inadvertantly turning down anyother prototype we had because of this. After a talk with Simon, and a heated debate on the direction of our project, we came to the conclussion that we needed to distance ourselves from our current idea at the time, and focus on the HMW statement only. Thankfully, this worked out great for us, as we came up with a whole new prototype that could possibly be combined with our current design. We shifted from a physical, simple idea, to a more social, pyscological approach to the HMW. Without going into much detail, we still have a lot of work to do in terms of developing it, and testing it. Along with this, we also had a very informative meeting with Prescott Gaylord, who helped us with our original idea, and also went through another round of testing.
