Prototype Interview With Chip

I met Chip out infront of Budig hall with my prototype made of brown paper towel, masking tape, chipboard, and drinking straw. 

 The prototype contained the elements of retractable prongs, a pencil sharpener, and a bottle opener.  

 

This is the interview that I conducted.

Things I learned from the interview:

• smaller: a little skinnier and a little shorter
• smaller prongs: thinner, but not necessarily shorter. 
• define thumb rest: make it so when a person is using it for digging that it supports the thumb better so it will not slide. 
• Clip: create a clip so it would be able to clip to the back of a hat, or the bill, much like current magnetic ball markers. 

Personal Ideas:

• add a magnetic ball marker
• work with the foam that is used as make makeup triangles for gripping, but only use a little.
