GR1 - Analysis

Problem Statement

Parents and relatives living apart want to get an experience of what it is like to be at a place where their children/relatives live.

• Experiences are difficult to communicate
  • What is it like to walk around Harvard Square?
  • What is it like to jog along the Charles River?
• Textual description/Images/Videos don't give a great idea of what the place is like solely.

Needfinding (Observations + Interviews)

#1: A 40 years old father of a working professional who moved to San Francisco wants to get an experience of what it is like to be at San Francisco so that he can recreate the narratives of his son's stories with immersive visual representation.

#2: A 30 years old tourist planning to tour Paris wants to explore what the tour is going to look like beforehand
