Safety

For the computational team, safety was still an important component, as we tested our software on human subjects. We considered a user's physical, emotional, and mental demand during a study. We had consent forms for every participant in every study, letting them know that the studies were voluntary and that they could leave at any time they felt uncomfortable. We were very reassuring throughout every study, letting users know that any crashes or difficulties were our fault as designers and programmers; not theirs. We also compensated our participants with lunch or gift cards.
