Interactive Prototype II Testing Session

In the user testing session, I think that it was successful. The testers commented that it was relatively easy to use and didn't require much effort. However, there were some problems that arose such as differing size hands. I didn't consider that people would have different sized hands and palms and as a result, the buttons were harder to reach for other people. This will be taken into consideration for the future. Another thing was that it was a bit clunky as the buttons and the platform was big. Although there were several problems, in the end most testers found that it was relatively easy to use, which fulfilled my goal of testing user interaction and usability of the device (glove)

Exercise 9

McDonalds Fast food establishment Counter near front, seats to the side. Drive through on the outside. Customer can order via counter, self-ordering service or drive through. After ordering, go to counter and pay. Pick up food after waiting for it to be made. Customers need to wait longer for food if its busy Customers need to wait for seats if its busy or a second is closed for cleaning Wait staff have multiple duties such as cleaning, serving and making the food (very busy) External factors Other customers can increase wait time which can lead to a negative experience (long wait times) Internal factors Worker low motivation leading to 'half-assing' making the food. If its busy can take a long time for food to be complete. Can decrease wait time by allowing customer to order online then go pick up in person. It can reduce the wait time of customers and reduce the amount of people in store which may lead to a different experience. Less wait time = better Te

Exercise 6

Revisiting Some Old Questions: Were you able to complete the tasks? If yes, was it difficult? If no, why not?  How easy was it to identify the buttons?  Did the buttons do what you expected them to do?  How easy was it to use?  Rewording: 1. If you were able to complete the tasks, how difficult did you find it? If not, why were you unable to complete the task? 2. On a scale of 1-5 how easy was it to identify the buttons, with 5 being the easiest 3. When you pressed the buttons, did the buttons produce the effect that you thought it will? 4. On a scale of 1-5, how easy was it to use the device overall?

Video Prototype

For the video prototype, I decided to do some sort of animation with a voice over. As I am inexperienced, I decided to go with a simple animation. My concept was earphones or headphones that adjust themselves by either playing white noise or isolating external sounds when the surroundings reached a certain noise level. They would also double up as earphones/headphones for playing music. I believe that my idea comes under augmenting everyday life as it enhances the life of people who are sensitive to changes in sounds. Some examples of uses would be in train stations when the train goes by or in another public area.
