Journal Entry For
Project 1 - Testing Session 1

What did you observe?

What did you observe and note as you watched users interact with your prototypes?

  • Comments about sustainability and use of plastic
  • Is there a geo-polymer material that would be more environmentally safe?
  • What’s the cost to make this device? (CTM)
  • Grade/quality of plastic being used — cost and food safety
    • what about silicon rubber?
  • People were impressed with the box and then kinda confused by the use/need
  • I NEED TO THINK ABOUT MORE COMMERCIAL USES

What feedback did your users share after the testing?

What feedback did your users share after they've had a chance to interact with and explore your prototypes?

  • Does the lettuce retain its “crunch” after being vacuum sealed?
  • Feels like the box would waste too much space in your fridge
  • Maybe if there was a bag that had the ethylene filters in them that would be more attractive (drop the box)
  • Can I use it for other vegetables?
  • What about storage for tomatoes and other fruits/veggies that DO OFF-GAS?
  • Maybe this is a product that would be more attractive to a commercial chef / restaurant than the regular home cook consumer?
