User Experience: Progress Documentation

So we've completed our interviews with the DIY subculture, and we've sent and received our culture probe. Overall the experience was amazing. Our first interview was a bit older and employs his DIY skills in the career and maintenance field. The other pair we interviewed were younger, and pursued the DIY culture in a more personal and creative way.

Here's the recordings of our interviews for your listening pleasure:

And here are a few images of the culture probe before we sent it out:

The probe was quickly designed, but turned out pretty well I think. The main capsule is a section of pvc pipe with 2 unscrew-able end caps to access it's insides. The DIYers were encouraged to decorate or use the capsule in any way they wished. Inside we included 1 disposable camera, 1 thumb drive, 1 set of questions, 1 map, and 1 carpenters pencil (unsharpened). Each item had a tag with instructions on the items use.
