Market in View conducted a form factor and design study with 125 in-person evaluations over two days. This hands-on evaluation identified preference across different models along with purchase intent. Since a diverse geographic and demographic distribution was required, Market in View sought out a central location that could satisfy all the parameters for the study participants.
