5. How I shall research! Primary research into peoples lifestyles - Homes, Habits, Tasks and Problems. Cultural probes: With questionnaires and photographs etc get people interested in the project and involved User needs and wants I could also use this research to determine the market I want to aim at.

6. First hand observation and photographs of peoples homes Look at how people react and change their environment. Research into areas outside the home that work and don’t - e.g. Factory lines Speak to experts in furniture making/design, manufacturing, interior design.

7. Ergonomics Accessability Health and safety Technology Materials Manufacturing Costs

8. I need to think of an original method of researching to involve as many people as possible and to get as much relevant information as I can.

9. How I could get people to photograph certain areas in their homes. Find tasks that people like and hate. Perhaps observe first hand some home tasks Market Research: Get people to chose between styles of existing products to try and determine taste.
