Prototyping Process

First Prototype

The first prototype was a set of two augmented clocks that send information to each other through hardwired connections.  When one friend presses a button, his led lights up to show that he is sending a signal to his friend's clock.  His friend's clock lights up red, and a character jumps up and down to say "hi!".  If the friend is available, he presses his blue button, and it sends the same signal back to the paired clock.   To turn the signal off, either friend pushes their button.
