Reflections on Success:

As a team we were able to leverage our strengths in different fields (e.g., engineering, design, business) to develop high quality prototypes. We also keep communications open between the groups to ensure that our updated designs and functionalities worked well in concert with the other prototypes. We found it helpful to create a specific use case and target user that we could reference as we designed to ensure we were solving for the right pain points. Keeping our objects modular was also another important lesson learned given that changes in the circuit or internal components of the devices impacted the aesthetic and size of our prototypes. 

As a team, we were pleased with how each prototype explored the feeling of being back home through a different sensory input. We would welcome the opportunity to continue to work on this ecosystem or work together on a new challenge.
