03.
Interviews
All of us wanted to create an app related to traveling but didn’t know what exactly. To figure out our topic space, we interviewed 16 people asking about how they travel and what struggles they have faced.
04.
Problem Statement
Based on our interviews, many people enjoy traveling with friends, family, or relatives. But some people struggle to know what to pack for their trip, whether it is under or overpacking, not knowing what to pack, and other related issues. We want to take the hassle out of packing and make it collaborative since trips are usually accompanied by others.
05.
User Testing
Throughout the project, we had many people, both the same people and new people, test our storyboards, wireframes, and prototype.

Final Idea
Introducing
Pakr
If you’ve ever struggled in any way related to packing and being prepared for trips, Pakr is the app for you!
Pakr is a collaborative packing helper app that will help users find the right things to bring along for any kind of trip.
Uses machine learning to develop a list of items to bring for any type of trip, taking into account weather, activities, destination, accommodations, transportation, and so on.
Collaborate with members on your trip and create a group list and your personal list. Let users assign, modify, and cross out items on the group list.
Has the ability to add or remove items from generated item lists.
Remind users that they are missing an item before they leave for their trip.
