After completing the Desert RATs deliverable, we continued on with the next step of our project. To begin, we wanted to finalize the scope of the project. We spent about an hour individually gathering more background information about ISS EVAs to determine whether it would fall within our scope. After much discussion, we decided that our focus would solely be Planetary EVAs.

As the next step, we went through a similar process we did with the Desert RATs project where we brainstormed about 50 concept ideas with interface sketches (software-oriented), and 25 ideas for the physical form with hardware, input, and output.

In addition to sketch brainstorming, we also wanted to simulate the conditions of being inside an EVA suit by body storming. To do so, we had motorcycle gear which included helmet, gloves, heavy jacket and pants.
