A general briefing:

Thank you for participating and taking your time to test our prototype.

This is a very early prototype and the goal is to evaluate if our design is easy to use, and intuitive. We will ask you to do some basic tasks using our system and that would really help us understand usability/design
issues with our system. At any point of time, please feel free to tell us anything you see confusing or you found difficult to understand as that would really help us improve the design.

Please think aloud while performing the tasks so that we can understand any assumptions, issues, and inconsistencies with our design.

Thanks again for participating! :)
