Testing the Hypothesis/9A


  • Who:  During my interviews, I found that while I thought everyone that wears glasses is a prime audience for my product I was missing a massive chunk of glasses participants: Children.  Ultimately, I interviewed 2 children, a boy and a girl, a mom of one, a dad of one, and then an elementary school teacher.
    • To my surprise, I found out that both of the children are not interested nor worried about their glasses slipping.  They did not find it to be a nuisance to continuously push their glasses up, in fact, both of their glasses were the kind that hooked all the way around their head so my problem truly was virtually no problem at all for them.
    • The mom of one of the kids though thought it would be a good idea to buy and invest in a product that stops the slipping for the future.  She can see how annoying it would become and doesn't want her child to have to deal with it at all.  She also thought it would be good for herself and her sunglasses when outside.  
    • The dad also thought it would be a good idea but as almost every other male was not so concerned it how it looked just the mere functionality of the product itself and the price it would be. 
    • Lastly, the teacher,  she said she thinks it is a fabulous idea not just for her but also her students.  As she is talking to kids and having to crouch to get to their level her glasses constantly slip.  Also, she finds her students to have to push them up which at such a young age causes distractions in the classroom.
  • What:  Something unique about my idea is that it is not a bad thing or a person behind a motive.  It is simply physics that needs to be stopped.  Therefore, the need for this is simple it is just science combating science.
  • Why:  The need is only different with kids who have the wrap around glasses.  If they have regular ones but just don't care if they slip then the need is the same as adults but they don't want the issue to be stopped.

  1. Hi Rebeca,
    I really found your post to be very interesting. You got a lot of valuable information in your interviews. I found the children's market to be really interesting, especially the kids who have the wrap around glasses. I also think the fact that not many men think of this as an issue is something that you need to consider. Overall, I found your interviews to be really beneficial. I also thought the solution as being science combating science as really interesting. My only suggestion would be to continue trying to think of alternative explanations.

  2. Hello Rebecca,
    I thought it was great that you identified children as a potential target for this product. Even though many of them were wearing glasses that wrapped around, a product like this could be considerably helpful during school. I know that when I am in class, I can find it particularly distracting to have to keep pushing up my glasses. Even though it seems like such a small thing, this disruption of focus can cause me to miss vital pieces of information because I am busy adjusting my glasses so that I can see the board.

  3. Hi Rebecca!

    I liked how thorough you were in interviewing. It was clear from your summarizations that you did a good job asking a wide range of questions to those you interviewed. I think that it was interesting to see the dynamics of a family and each member’s thoughts on the product especially how the kids felt verses how their parents each did. Overall you did a great job making a really concise summarization of your interviews and overall post
