Pebble is a project that explores motion as a valuable part of our ever evolving relationship with digital assistants. Based in understanding the relationship of people and robots, this project takes on three main components: research, a study with insights, and a final form design. Pebble, as a result, is a hardware interface and interaction design proposal for a motion-supported assistant speaker.

Comparing a low fidelity prototypes with a highly finished working product

This mismatch in fidelity affected user’s responses— while we did our best to acknowledge the differences and propose a 'what if', it does not erase the bias completely.

The google mini slides consisted of two modalities: audio and visual (light animation in the four dots) while our motion sketches used only one: motion

We asked users to imagine the motion with the same audio as in the google mini, but this doesn't take into account the fidelity bias of comparing the two.
