Based on observations, the interactions worked well and the user needed to run on the spot in order to get the music to stop playing. Testers enjoyed the interaction and responded positively. I would have preferred a prototype where the user did not have to attach any wires and got some ideas of how to do so by creating a DIY pressure pad that when stepped on would work as a button and this would work well for the physical exercise motivation, as it can be moved further away from the work station.
I asked the testers to answer three questions:
Q1
On a scale of 1-10 (1 being not at all, 10 being perfect), how well does the reset encourage movement?
The average user said motivation to move was an 8 with the music, with one tester giving it a 10 for wanting the music to stop.
Q2
Would you encourage users to move in a different way? How?
Several suggestions were made for different movements, ranging from walking a certain number of steps, using sequenced arrows for the user to use like a DDR board, bouncing a ball or doing burpees, while 2 of the users said that the interaction was fine as is.
Q3
Would you like to see personalisation of the following elements:
(a) Time seated (Y/N)
In terms of changing the time seated, 75% of the users said they would not make it changeable. One user said that since the time was based on scientific study, it would be best to follow the suggested time.
(b) Song choice (Y/N)
Changing the song was also not high on the priority list, as the choice of song "I like to move it" was extremely motivating because you wanted it to stop, if you pick your favourite song, you might be tempted to sing along instead of move around.
(c) Exercise level (Y/N)
Finally, all the users said that adapting the exercise level would be a great way to motivate and encourage movement. The suggestions mentioned in Q2 above would be ideal.
