Questions

How to allow for a lower tolerance for speech accuracy? As well as audio sample time. (had to be pretty rigid with my syllables / record in short words, reads). Take a look at how the code was working inthis test last week to compare and contrast ❤

  • notes on size of targets
  • onboarding / handling of phone
  • legibility of names
  • interest in badge system like Seek App
  • possiblity for a map layer? / photos both location & timestamped?
  • minimizing buttons to be clicked in the UI (kids quickly navigate to home screen / exploring other apps – make sure to have a minimal app set up when user testing in future, or to bury personal apps in a deeper swiped to screen)

Met with Sarah today to check in about thesis updates. We walked through the mvp and talked about what to note from it for future:

 

  • for documentation
    • reshoot video of mvp experience (can use as reference later down the line)
    • include storyboards
    • start noting anytime specific design forks happen, or decisions made for a certain effect // keep a log
      • ex: choosing to make the app less game like (instead of having extra mobile navigation options, choosing to keep it simple, focusing more on the human interaction
      • ex: what does it mean to bring the tech to the night time routine?
        • instead – making design decisions that encourage day time use of
        • choosing to make a throw sized quilt verses a twin or queen
    • update thesis journal
      • to include all requested items / weekly posts that are mirrored in personal blog
      • think more of a lit review verses bibliography / works cited – how does the research support or feed into the larger concepts being explored. how does it affect your thinking or  project?

 

  • Questions for User testing 
    • who is holding the phone? (parent / kid)
    • how to solidify that its a multi user experience / underscore the time spent together – human interaction
    • what scenarios / time of day would quilt be used? verses bedtime?

PT 2 – Class 2

In Class (2.11) 

Presentations Part II 

Breakout groups Prototype Review

  • develop questions for user testing to see if your prototype meets your personal rubric (and the ITP requirements) 
  • Discuss strategies for user testing and evaluate your schedules

Assignments: 

Keep working (“AYP”): 

  • Option 1: develop and refine your current prototype
  • Option 2: develop a second simple prototype  if your first did not satisfy your personal rubric
  • User Testing: Using your prototype and specific questions, do a user test with three people outside of our class, one of whom should be an outside expert in your field. Take notes, post on the blog. 

Highly Recommended (after your prototype user test): 

  • Create a more refined schedule (with specific tasks) for getting you to a functional, documented version of your project by March 10. If you’re not ready to do this, please make an OH with Sarah to discuss why not!
