● Unintentional separation from group, actively searching

● Unintentional separation from group, not actively searching

QUOTES

Chester: “I like to get lost in the music and enjoy the

moment, but at the back of my mind I’m always keeping tabs

on my friends. It really withdraws from the experience.”

Anisa: "I'm here to have a good time and bond with my

friends. I like to plan a lot in advance, but no matter how

organized my friends are it’s really easy to get lost."

Goal: Find lost friends quicklyand easily

Design Challenge #2

ACCESS TO INTERNET OR CELL PHONE SIGNAL

Chester: “Yes, it is difficult to find service when everyone’s

phone is trying to look for service too. This drains my battery

a lot, which is why I try to stay away from phone as much as

possible.”

Anisa: “A lot of the big festivals that my friends and I go to

are usually in the middle of nowhere. So finding cell phone

service in those areas is almost impossible.”

QUOTES

Goal: Don’t rely on internet orcell signal

Design Challenge #3

CARRYING OBJECTS

QUOTESChester: "Showing up to an event with a lot of things to carry

makes it difficult to dance and navigate crowds. I'd rather just

go without and ask one of my buddies to carry the important

things for me, like my phone or water."

Anisa: "I try to bring everything I could need with me. I would

hate to be hungry or thirsty and regret not packing

something."

Goal: Small enough to not get in the way
