Collaborations

Three students from the course in Interaction Design, Web and Games from University of Porto accepted the challenge of speculating how exercises for young adult couples could be. In just three months, the students did an online survey to young adults, an interview with a sexologist, created personas, scenarios, ad low- to high-fidelity prototypes, which they tested with couples. To learn more about the process and the concept, see the video below.

We would like to thank the students for their commitment and professionalism: Matilde Ferreira, Guilherme Vila Maior and Afonso Matos. We would also like to thank the teachers who welcomed our challenge and supervised the students’ work: Andreia Sousa, Bruno Giesteira and Rodrigo Assaf.
