The Process So Far

1. Research Design

• Problem statement

• Abstract

• Literature Review

• Keywords

2. Frameworks

• Ethics Statement

• Positionality

• Interview Profiles

• Westphal Lobby Accessibility Study

3. Gather

• Data collected from interviews with SME’s

• Relevant literature collected

4. Analyze

A deep dive into healthcare design and immersive technologies which was combined with research tools such as the problem octopus and levels of analysis to expand my understanding of said subjects.

5. Synthesize Coding exercise involving literature gathered used to extract themes and affinitize the findings. The end result of this was insight statements.

6. Conceptualize Project Proposal, Prototype
