Hangeul Day · No regular offline class

Opening Questions

  • Can participants clearly perceive the intended difference between our conditions?
  • Are the stimuli realistic enough to produce meaningful responses while remaining controlled?
  • What level of prototype fidelity does this research question actually require?

Learning Goal

Develop testable design stimuli that represent each comparison condition clearly while keeping unintended differences under control.
