Last Sunday we had a presentation of our project at Microsoft offices in Tel Aviv.
It was a great opportunity to practice our presentation skills, especially in front of so many people, including other students who presented their projects, and most importantly, in front of mentors who came to hear us.
The mentors who came to hear about our projects, to give us a feedback and to help us continue to the next step were people from Microsoft, private entrepreneurs and graduates of the MiLab. All of them have a lot of experience, passion for projects like these and motivation to help us in promoting our projects.
Some mentors brought to our attention the fact that we need to make sure that the focus in our project is on the driver, not on Dapi. Dapi is just the helper in the situation. We need to confirm, in our future user testing, that the interaction will be HHRI and not just HRI.
Another point we have to think about is what are we going to do with the fact that nowadays, there is almost no connection with the driver? A few weeks ago the bus companies decided that passengers will not have the option to charge their "Rav-Kav" card at the bus. We need to make sure that although the passengers almost do no "need" the driver anymore, they will at least be kind and respect him.
We will continue checking how we can improve our product, and will do user testing in order to see how people react to Dapi and to his presence.
And here are some photos from our presentation :)
