Research Overview
Research Overview
I conducted interviews with 15 different people who have experience in online dating apps. They shared their thoughts and concerns towards online dating:
- Too casual
- Might get in danger
- Many of the matches talk inappropriately
- Very fast paced
- Have encountered many scammers that want to scam money
- Have hard time remembering all the matches

REFLECTION
Here are some thoughts and process that I put into the Dell rebrand!
1.
1.
Researching about VR
In the first five weeks of this project, I dove into the world of VR. I did a lot of research and even bought a VR headset to see how the prototyping and experience would work firsthand. This hands-on approach helped me understand VR technology and how it can be used. I spent time exploring various VR applications and experimenting with different features. I tested a range of VR experiences to see what worked well and what didn't, and I studied the latest trends and advancements in VR. This immersion not only gave me practical insights but also sparked new ideas for our project.

Researching Dating Apps
Through my research and personal experience with various dating apps, I found them too fast-paced for meaningful relationships. The focus on quick swipes and superficial connections left me disappointed and frustrated. To address this, I decided to create my own dating app, aiming to foster deeper relationships with a more thoughtful and deliberate approach.

Challenges I faced…
The most challenging part of this project was working with VR prototyping, which I had never done before. I attempted to prototype in actual VR, but the software available at the time was too new and unstable, frequently crashing. To effectively convey my concept within a short timeframe, I chose to prototype in Figma instead. For the dating scenes and avatars, I used scenes from the game Sims 4.
