This week, I updated my journey map to better reflect the skeleton of the concept and created an MVP plan to prototype & test one aspect of the experience.

What is the most essential experience to test?

The backbone of my concept is the daily mental exercises, which challenges negative thoughts about our bodies & ourselves.

By prototyping this experience, I’m looking to learn

  • What type of mirror makes sense? Does it have to be a physical full length? Could a self camera could opt in as a types of mirrors?
  • How much mental prep is needed before the exercise to build trust and make the person feel comfortable?
  • What’s the right voice & tone the assistant should have?

What tools do I need to demo or mock this up?

  • Figma or XD (depends on pre-recording voice or not)
  • Voice (pre-recorded, my own, or interview partners’)
  • Testing platform like UserTesting

Timeline

A general timeline of my upcoming week to get the specific part of the concept prototyped and be ready for testing.
