From the second round of questionnaires, it became quite obvious that the changes we made to the design of the product were a roaring success with the children testing them.
The changes to the ergonomic design were one of the main things picked up on by the test subjects, with added comfort in terms of grip, and ease of holding being cited as major points.
By allowing the children to reverse the text on the screen, it has enabled us to create a single device for both dexterities, which would allow production costs to be greatly cut for the single item. Other comments on the screen included praising the increased size as it allowed the text to be larger and clearer.
There were no real further suggestions from the test subjects - a request to read Italian words is less of a design issue, and simply would involve changing to a different language dictionary/theasurus file in the device.
The only further idea raised from the questionnaires was the possibility of releasing the products in a range of colours or other designs, but this is down to visual preference rather than design.
On the whole, I believe the re-design was a great success as it fulfilled all the points raised about the original prototype.
