Design Process in pictures: Sort-o-phon

Results of data gathering session (observation)
Analazying data and creating list of need and requirments which should be satisfied.
We used mind map to figure out which of all the ideas we will develop further on.
That is how we became focused on xylophone as a base to our further work.
One of low-fi prototypes from the first round: storyboard, step by step representing how a user would interact with an object.
 
Second round of prototypes (2), based on what was the most likeble from the first round:
We've made to prototypes with the same consept: panel with tangents producint the sound.

 
1. THE SPY GAME
Idea back it: soundtrack is divided into the ammount of tangents.
 
In action: a person is recording a secret message fllowing instructions on the screen and choses encrypting mechanism (order of pieces of soundtrack). Another person is trying to decrypt it by playing in the right order.
That is what is giving a user understanding about how the sorting mechanism is working.
 
 
2. MUSIC BOX
Idea back it: popular songs are devided into amount of pieces equal the quantity of tangents.
 
A user should find the right order to play the songs correctly.
Gameficiation touch: a user is getting points by finding the solution during the certain time.
Final product design in process: cables til piezo, RGB-led and button are attached to Arduino Mega.
Almost ready product! :)
