After our initial sketches of what we thought the reporting/managing experience would be like, we performed a couple of participatory designs with paper prototypes and screencasted the first team draft of the interface.

After presenting the Watch and the Dongle in class, we were told that our prototypes were not context-specific enough. After another night of brainstorming with the team, we came up with the Airloom, a device that passively records conversations and photographs family members around the dinner table.

This second of two prototypes embodies the same goal as the Dongle; a device that keeps track of our short term tasks that need to be accomplished in order to achieve long term goals. The only differences are form and interaction.
