Refer to Speaker and Asker

PROBLEMS:

• make sure you are not exposing Asker's phone number to all audience members
• deaf audience members
• the app must work for every kind of space (indoor, outdoor)

POSSIBLE FEATURES:

• Autocorrect grammatical errors
• Time limit for speakers
• Incorporate clicker for slides within the app since the speaker will be holding his phone throughout the event anyway
• Question limit / question rate limit for each audience member (make sure program on speaker's phone doesn't freeze / overload)
• Speech to text for deaf audience members
• Automatically turn off ringer/vibrations in the Asker's phone when you enter the app
• Replace the radio and clip-on microphone speaker that the Speaker already wears
• live stream through your phone like on Youtube (send audio through browser)
• server running to store information

POSSIBLE DIFFERENT MODES:

QUESTIONS:

• what are the different kinds of events that use Q&A often?
• What are the different venues where this might be used?
• how can we connect all of the devices if there is no wifi?
• Should there be photos of each person who asks a question? Will that encourage stereotyping?
• What should we do for non-smart phone users?
• What if there is no computer at the podium/stage?
• How will what we make change audience behavior? i.e. Shy people will be more likely to ask questions if it is text based,
• Is texting your question to the speaker in the middle of the event annoying? Or is it convenient so that you don't forget your question?
• Where should notices of new questions to speaker show up?
• How can we avoid creating accounts or use pre-existing accounts? QR code at the door?
• What does “joining a room” mean? (the technology)

• live lectures and seminar hosted online

TO DO:

• make flow diagrams
