MILESTONE:
By analyzing needs in a potential user group I have developed a pyramid showing the hierarchy of needs based on importance, the most highly valued features are on the top end of the scale. Underneath the diagram is an expanded version of the list. This and the next few blogs are going to cover three sets of demographically diverse user groups, starting with 'teens' covered below.
Lack of time to actively socialize
Know the state of close ones while busy working and unreachable
Connect with other friends while multitasking/chores
Share listening experience
Form network and be part of a group
Change music according to needs
Energy/mood
Listen to music with others
that are physically not present
Know the presence of important others
Communicate taste and mood
Change stations and volume
know that the other is there and listening to the same
Create new sharing experiences/ trigger good memories
never knows when the receiver reads them.
“I heard this song the other day’
Be able to zone out when wanted
Often she wishes she had more time to stay in touch with friends and acquaintances.
Immediate gratification
Great need for socializing when suits her
Adapting and customizing
Live feed/ Real time interaction
Learning patterns of behavior to create new experiences, personal inside info
Creating a memory through an event/environment
Know that he’s not alone at night when working
Inform others of songs/programs currently playing
Simple ‘interface’, get feedback of working object without delay
Know that the others have received your messages
Feedback when interacting
Being online and available and know that others are
let friends know she’s thinking of them, Guilt relief in the fact that others know she’s thinking of them
Dampening the feeling of stress
Not being annoyed with pending requests and ‘announcements’
Avoid having more obligations
Connecting in an unobtrusive way
Inviting interactions
Use a simple instrument to tune in to friends moods

With Wifi, indoors/outdoors
Object that doesn’t disturb others
Not having to interact when working, but able to when wanted
Not disturbing family/friends, careful approach to contact
Not being restricted ( to a comp), not a static position, move with object
Having hands free for other interactions
Not need phone-credit or get a large bill as result of usage
Avoid misunderstandings - Limited amounts of interpretations
Can choose not to engage, thus not inappropriate time of day
Set up once, then only a physical, simple interface
Avoid information overload, simply a listening experience
Form selective network, no external pollution
Not disturbing others as alerts are non- intrusive
Must have a logical, straightforward interaction, minimize confusion, not having to attempt to understand a new system.
No required language
