Story Board

These story boards show the object, behaviour and scenario step by step. It is however not an effective way of telling the narrative and expressing the emotional experience, which is why we will be doing a video for that. 

To assist in communicating this sequence I will use 2 persona's; Mandy and Emma. 

1. The very first step to the process is a cause. The users firstly need a reason in which to purchase and have a need for our product. 
Mandy is moving out of the share-house she has been living in for the past 4 years with her best friend Emma. Mandy has just graduated and landed her dream job in Sydney. It is very sad for both of the girls to have Mandy move away.

2. Emotions trigger the initial decision to use the product.
Emma feels lonely living in the house without her best friend. She fondly remembers all the great times they used to have. They used to see each other everyday and never got sick of each other. They loved to watch scary movies together on Friday nights, playing in the same netball team and inviting all the girls over for dinner and drinks.

3. An agreement is made to use the product together.
After Mandy's great suggestion to get an InterBall, they both jump onto the Internet and order their products.

4. Within the week both girls have their InterBall's delivered!

5. The girls unpack their new gadget

6. Both users get back onto the website

7. The serial number which they received with their product is entered into the computer system

8. The girls connect their products and sync them. They are now ready to use!

For the Fridge attachment device.

9. The product is simply attached to the fridge door using the suction cap.

10. Emma is having some of the girls over for a small party. This is her first time entertaining by herself without Mandy. She is struggling a bit doing it alone and is not enjoying it as much as she used to with Mandy. Emma struggles to the fridge with her hands full of food and drinks. It was times like this she really needed Mandy around. the two of them in the kitchen used to be great, they were so in-sync with each other. Emma has difficulties getting the door open with Mandy to hold it for her. Then she realises her new InterBall is there. She gives the product a casual kick with her foot and the fridge door opens for her. Emma is very relieved and laughs at the thought of if Mandy had seen her struggle so much.

Over in Sydney Mandy is eating dinner alone. She suddenly sees her InterBall on the fridge light up and begin to hum. She jumps in surprise and then begins to laugh as she imagines poor Mandy trying to entertain all the girls by herself. She feels a little home sick wishing she could be there to help her friend out and enjoy the celebrations. But she loves it when her InterBall is activated when she int expecting it. It gives her a warm feeling, as if for a moment she was with her best friend. It gives her some assurance to be able to know occasionally what Mandy is up to.

 11. The day after the party Emma has a big sleep in and finally wakes up at midday to go and watch some tv. She spreads out on the lounge and unconsciously reaches for the ball sitting on the coffee table and begins to play with it.

Mandy's face lights up as her InterBall begins to move around the carpet widely on it's own accord. She watches as it speeds up and all of a sudden stops, then goes crazy and slows down. Mandy gets such a thrill out of this. She loves being able to see when her friend is playing. Mandy kicks her InterBall a little way. Emma, on the other end gets a shock as her Interball begins to hum and vibrate in her hands. The two friends have a great time playing together and influencing how each other interBalls react.


12. There are future instalment which can be purchased by users. A gradual network of products can be accumulated through time to build up a community of interconnecting, interactive products. The product line is highly complimentary and building the network will enhance the user experience.
