Decision for this format for the report

We didn't want to make our report using Latex or word as they're too boring. We decided to try out Notion. We are submitting this as a PDF, but there are some alignment issues.

Our Prototype

Introduction

The whole pandemic scenario caused people to stay at their homes isolated.

Morning greetings were replaced by 'Join Meeting' buttons.

Video calls became the primary mode of interaction.

Attending classes, working together, watching something together everything went online. Physical interactions were trying to be emulated by software and not every software or application nailed it.

We decided to look at a specific area of this online experience, that of consuming online content together.

We came up with Alpa 🦙, a project born out of our personal experiences. We tried to apply the concepts thought in class and we feel we have come up with something good and useful.

User Study Plan

Questions & Goals

The goal of our study would be to answer the following questions & we hope to gain some insights from existing practises. These would help us understand certain aspects of our context better.

  1. Gather and analyse how much of the current population tries to watch shared content v/s watching alone.
