Based on the feedback we adapted some of our components of the inside of the box and started to make a bill of materials to see what we would be requiring, also managing to see a way to incorporate some electronics that didn´t affect the user.

In this session we also investigated how to incorporate the communication elements and end up in the conclusion that people who suffer from autims tend to associate an action with a figure or drawing rather than a word. This is why we decided to have only images to help them relate to their emotions and basic needs.

When finally deciding on the different sections of the board we received feedback because we were starting to put some textures but losing focus if it would really help the user. Because not every texture is safe for the user and also is not always helpful.

At this point we also started making our second prototype made out of the carton with the estimate dimensions we wanted for the final result. This to see how the final product would look and to see how big the squares where going to be.
