Mission 4: Design Space Exploration
Mission 4, with final Fall Quarter teams, is about starting to explore the Design Space in earnest. This effort involves creating some very early prototypes, while also continuing with need-finding and benchmarking of relevant technologies, and compiling of human and other resources.
The early prototypes are to inform the design team about issues that would affect -- and perhaps validate or rule out -- a particular design direction. These prototypes must have a user, or class of users, in mind. Hence we combine them with Persona development.
