It seems that the primary purpose of this tool is to add interactivity to designs. I don't think it replaces the need for mocking before you design for purposes of rapid evolution — I think paper still wins in this area.

I assume that the device entering an NIST evaluation process provides some preliminary assurances of the device's accuracy that MA is willing to make do with. So is the state essentially trusting Uber's word that the device is accurate, kno

You're right, office conditions are notoriously hard to research because variables are abundant. However, there are ways to measure it empirically. In the design of an experiment like that, you'd want to use metrics that are heavily depen

I'm glad this is working for you. I agree that different teams will probably respond in different ways to open-plan offices, and that not all such offices are created equally. However, your claim that this has worked "really well" for you
