Concept Refinement

• Most valuable deliverables are the answers to the
  following questions
• Can people actually be fooled in a setup which
  includes two different doors?
• Which artifacts contribute to the trickery, and
  to what extent?
• What is the relation between various geometric
  parameters and the success of the gag? This
  includes total hallway length, distance between
  doors, and the distance from the doors to either
  end of the hallway.
• No pre-existing setup is available to
  sufficiently answer the above questions. Concept
  refinement designs are to be used as an
  operational prototype for addressing these
  critical issues.
