We worked with users iteratively in order to deliver a design that remains functional but also visually appealing.

Questions we explored included: What indicator will remind users to take breaks without annoying them?

What's the optimal dimension and shape of the product to fit onto a student's desk?

How might we test whether the user likes our gamification model?

‍

We approached the solutions in many ways such as interviews, group discussion, digital and physical prototyping and psychological tests.

Perhaps the most important insight we gained via our methodology resulted in employing a positive pull cumulative reward system.

To build long term habits we needed the user to engage with our product for a long time as we wished for the habits to stick beyond the lifetime of the device.
