2. Graduation!

7. POV
Natsuki and her friends have arrived in Bali with no detailed plan
なつきと彼女の友人たちは、詳細な計画なしでバリに到着しました
Needs to way to get everyone involved each day in the day by day planning
みんなに関わって毎日の計画を作っていく必要性がある
Because, they are wasting more time trying to communicate their ideas than actually
being able to do any activities
なぜなら、彼らは現地で旅をするより毎日計画を立てるためのコミュニケーションで時間を無駄にしているからです。
But Actually, they lack confidence in their ideas as they consider too much in their mind what other
would think rather than attempting to actually communicating their ideas effectively
とはいえ、自分のアイデアを伝えようとするのではなく、自分に自信を持たず他の人が何を考えているかを気を遣う

9. Product sketch
Nonbiri Planner
The prototype is piece of fabric with
colourful stripes. Through this tool,
multiple users could visualise their
thoughts of planning
simultaneously and intuitively by
simply “pasting” the strips that
represents different activities and
time slots. This tool is also working
as a fashion accessory that can be
carried easily.

19. Skit Script
4 people
Background:
You are gaThering for breakfast in the hostel kitchen space and sitting at a table. You have
been in Bali for 2 days so far and still have 4 more days to go
You are having trouble planning your trip as you all dont know what each other wants to do and
you are unsure how to communicate.
Part1:
(All are sitting around eating and opn their phones, laughing at there screens, and not really
communicating with each other. All very distant from conversation)
Weijie: Hey guys, what are we going to do today?
Gary: hey did you just see what sensei posted on insta, he looks like he is having a great time
surfing
Anthony : what? I need to check this out
Weijie: so what we going to do?
Gary: you soooo should
Banner: I don’t know
Anthony: ohhhhh its 11am, whats the plan?
Weijie: we need to make one, what do you want to do?
Banner: I have no idea. Ohh gary did you just see that cat video?(Looking at phone)
Weijie: ANTHONY what about you?
Anthony: why you asking me you should ask everyone
Weijie thats what i AM TRYING TO DO. WHAT ARE WE DOING? WE HAVE WASTED ALL
MORNING JUST SITTING HERE.

20. Skit Script
Part 2:
(Banner brings with him on the trip a small foldaway product to help them plan as he knows that
they are always terrible at deciding what to do and easily get distracted)
Banner: hey, i know how terrible we always are at making decisions remember the last trip we
took. I put nonbiri on the table just add your tags
Weijie: ohhh this seems like a great idea, i just need to quickly think
Anthony: so what do we do?
Banner: simple! just add colour blocks in a line to work out our schedule. You can edit what the
colours mean by writing them down in the attached pad
Anthony: すごいですね。thats so simple
Gary: amazing!
Banner: so we just have a chat after to see if everyone has a similar page in their mind.
Weijie: looks like we are all done lets see what we have all said. AHHH looks like we all want to
go for a surf lesson, someone has suggested lunch and also drinks in the evening.
Gary: yeah, i know a great surf school, remember that one i told you about before we came.
lets go!
Anthony: ohh yeah, and theres a great lunch cafe on the beach there

33. Individual Reflections
“It has been interesting to work with
this team and see how different people
can come together to create ideas”
-Billie
“I really enjoy working with this team
which each member come from different
major, It can broaden our idea!”
-EX
“The process of designing according to the
deep needs of users is really amazing. I will
cherish this experience of working with
everyone!”
-Banner (Ning.H)
“It was a great experience working with
people from different culture and
academic backgrounds. And I learned a
lot about design from user’s
perspective.”
-Yu Jichuan
“It is always exciting to work with different people to
consider user’s need and solutions. Though it was
not smooth when we consider about the POVs, it
was a really precious experience for me to learn how
to observe users as well as understand them deeply”
-Weijie
I have learned the process of how to design new product starting
from the scratch to the prototype. It will be useful for me to take
this logic thinking and apply it to my own research.
The most difficulty is trying to make the POV. I wish I could have
as a detail step by step tutorial. The team spirit is on fire.
Everybody takes the duty and complete it very well and beyond
expectation.
PS: Please equip the glue gun, which is such a great tool for
prototyping.
-Anthony

34. The group feel it difficult
concentrate and can’t have
effective communication
about planning.
The low efficiency of communication
caused the waste of time for students
during travelling, therefore, difficult to
leave good memory.
The low quality of communication may
affect the friendship of the group.
Groups of students
that just graduated and
about to have
graduation trip
The students were facing
many other issues like final
exams and graduation issues
at this time, they are lacking of
time considering planning.
It is easy to carry
and take with
them
It’s a very familiar problem
to all the group members
and from our research
showed that people find it
hard to make decisions or
what to plan on the go.
With the solution of our device, it is
very easy to involve people together
and visualise their thoughts
simultaneously. We used very simple
way to make the process of deciding
more tangible and quick.
By introducing a fashion accessory
that allows everyone visualise their
thoughts and decide quickly. It can
also be used to store memories of
the trip from photos to tickets for
group to reflect on in future meetups

35. Future Development
● Automatically generate statistic data.
自動的に統計データを生成できるようにする
● Link with google calendar, and synchronize with each member’s schedule.
Googleカレンダーとリンクし、各メンバーのスケジュールを連携する
● Adopting other methods to make group decisions by means of gamify, vote, or random.
ゲーム、投票、またはランダムなどほかの方法を提案する
● Implementing GPS chip, it will act as a beacon to gather everybody in some events.
GPS機能を搭載してビーコンのようにイベントで皆を集める
● Analyzing user behavior to improve the design (shape, size, functions, and so on).
デザイン（形状、サイズ、機能など）を向上させるためのユーザーの行動を分析する。
