3a - "Detailed Problem Definition": Initial Personas: Trisha was ill so I had to post it! (last week's meeting(30th Jan))

A suggestion put forward for our HCI project, was to design and create a console that can be used for educational or entertainment purpose aimed at children within the age group of 1-4 years. The console will be designed to adapt to various devices such as car seats, high chair, push chairs and portability will also be an option for the child and parent. All these devises will be administered by a remote control which will be held by the parents. Functionalities for this console will include:
• Music – poems, nursery rhymes
• Action games
• Stories that highlight the pictures and words
• Alphabet games
• Manipulation of action figures
• Sketching feature
• Portability
