I gave the box (with the objects inside) and photos to someone who had not seen it before or heard anything about the project. The only thing I told them was that I was testing to see how intuitive the interaction was and that it was based on stimulating the senses.
The first thing they did was pick up all the photos and look through them quite carefully. They then pulled one object out of the box one at a time and tried to match them to the photos at first not realizing that the colours matched (she thought the colours in the photos had been swapped or changed somehow but then figured it out).
This showed that my photos were indeed quite deceptive which I was going for, and that it was clear that you needed to put your hand inside the hole. The suggestions I received were:
- I should make the material around the hole fit around your hand, possibly adding elastic. This would discourage the user from looking inside the box.
- Symbols of a hand with a tick beside it and an eye with a cross would give quick and clear visual instructions to touch and not look inside the box.
- Present it to the user with one image already inside the holder so that they know to only look at one but also realize they can change it.
