Reflection: Which outputs did you enjoy the most? What planning can you do to use these different visual, audio, and haptic communication methods with the wearer? Take some time to think about some of the communication methods you’ve seen in existing products or items. What did you find effective, annoying, or unusual? Could you swap one output for another? How would that affect its use?
