Steve: Observations about Old Suit Simulation

1. The first volunteer was unwilling to cooperate for a lot of things while the other volunteers did not mind. He had a bad reaction to the glasses and bag. He was constantly whinning abou the weights and took a long time to complete tasks. None of the others had this response he might have been uncomfortable because he was first.

2. I feel like none of their movements got affected a lot because we did not make them move enough we should have made them do one lap in the CIT lobby. This way, we can see how much the constume affected their movement.

3. Most people had difficulties doing the first challenge (shopping). From that we may be able to conclude that the glasses affected them a lot and people are very reliant on their vision. Having it nerfed can be very bad for them.

4. I had also realised a lot of people got the amount of money wrong. From that, we may conclude that the golves also had a big impact on their performance.

5. From watching the voluneteers I thought some of them actually tried which as actually nice. However, I thought maybe they just wanted to get it done as quickly as possible.\

6. Most poeple were quite accepting to the old suit which was very surprising also most people were not uncomfortable when a lot of people were crowding around them putting things on them. I thought that would be very uncomfortable for them especially when some of us were squatting behind them.

7. One of the difficulties of one of the volunteers was, he could not remember his appointments. One guy said he would turn up but he did not. Maybe he needed more reminders to prevent this problem.

8. People also mentioned that they difficulty grabbing tiny stuff. That mostly affected them when shopping. However, surprisingly, it did not affect them much when grabbing tissue.

The greatest difficulty for old people is probably their movements because they are used to move a specific way when they are young. Their brain might still think that they can work like they used to until they get hurt so, old people might overestimated their ability and get themselves hurt. Another difficulty is their vision it is a terrible feeling when you feel like you can’t see. Now people use their electronic devices. Taking that ability away from them will make their lives a lot more boring. It will also make it even easier for them to get hurt.
