Subclaims

Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q2 i? The second and third pilots yielded very general, non-functional requirements rather than detailed functional ones, so the method was modified to tie requirements to specific models and follow-up workshops. → Giasemi N. Vavoula and Mike Sharples 2007

Third pilot with seven adults (three engineers, four non-engineers) on the task of "immersing into the sights and sounds of another place and/or time". The authors state the "s econd and third pilots produced a list of very general, non-functional requirement s", leading to modifications asking for model-specific requirements.

"Furthermore, the s econd and third pilots produced a list of very general, non-functional requirement s rather than more detailed, functional requirements that would be needed for further development of the ideas."
