Hi everyone,
The prototype phase is upon us!
We’re now translating our designs to paper prototypes and digital prototypes. We’re using these to find out if what we thought of actually works as we thought it would. We’re going to be doing user testing soon to test the functionality of the app. To do this we are going to use this really cool kit made from meccano! The old toys? The new can’t do without the old. We’re using iPods to test our app, and the kit can fit one exactly in the middle. There is a webcam attached to it, aimed at the screen. This allows us to film exactly what a person is doing when using the app. What buttons are being pressed? Is the navigation clear?
It’s great to see our project become more solid and clear every day, and we’re anxious to see what the next few weeks will hold. The other teams are going through the same, and the subject matter of the discussions around the tables is changing. It’s going from: “I really think that adding user generated content here would be better.” to “What pages should have a link to the user generated content page, and how should this page look?”
Until next time!
