yes i know that we had some problems with our last system so this time we will see our mistakes and improve our system according to user evaluation.
And also when we meet today we need to go for user evaluation ...test some user to see if their is any mistakes with our new system so we can improve it on time.

My own suggestion!

According to the evaluation we discovered that our first prototype is not good as we thought.Also we found out that the navigation wasn't the right place. Play button was missing in the music player. There were three types of keyboard which confuse the user. Moreover, some of the user declared that the system isn't user friendly on the other hand some user said that the system is easy to use.

Based on our evaluation we have to come out a good design which means a system that work aesthetically, functionally and commercially, improving people’s lives and making the smallest possible impact on the planet. Not only a good design but also full of creativity ideas and innovation that exploits the users. A system that all type of user can uses no matter if the are familiar with computers or not. In addition, we shouldn’t forgot in our system the word “ simplicity “.

So team blogger what do you think of my suggestions .

Prototype 2

hello everyone!

I am reminding you that this is the last presentation so we have to put all our efforts and all the data we have found in the evaluation.

hi

hello guys just wanted to remind you that we need to work hard for our last presentation so we can be better than previous ones ok try to post your ideas on blog.thx

What is evaluation?

­Systematic approach to assess the design, implementation, and utility of programs.
­Utility = usefulness, worth, or quality.


•Who are the users?
•Who are the evaluators?
•What are the limiting factors?

DECISIONS:


What type of evaluation? (output or outcome)
If an outcome evaluation, what client change will you be measuring?
2. When to collect data? (evaluation strategies).
3. How will you collect data? (data collection methods)
4. Who to include in the evaluation? (census or sample).

I'm putting information about evaluation..

What is evaluation?
Something you do at the end of a project to show it works… so you can publish it.
Part of the design-build-evaluate iterative design cycle.
A way of defining a field.
A way a discipline validates the knowledge it creates.
A reason papers get rejected.

We can put these kind of informations.
Who are the users?
Who are the evaluators?
What are the limiting factors?

I'm trying to searching the most important information about evaluation...

Two main types of evaluation:
-Formative evaluation is done at different stages of development to check
that the product meets users' needs
-Summative evaluation assesses the quality of a finished product

What to evaluate
-Iterative design & evaluation is a continuous
process that examines:
–Early ideas for conceptual model
–Early prototypes of the new system
–Later, more complete prototypes
Designers need to check that they
understand users' requirements

When to evaluate
Throughout the design
From the first descriptions, sketches etc. of user needs through to the final product
Design proceeds through iterative cycles of: Design – test ­redesign
Evaluation is a key ingredient for a
successful design

prototype

In our prototype we should have a help button to answer all the questions because sometime users have problems to navigate the system so if there is any help button than user knows where to go.......and according to our research with the private messages we should create a member list so everyone who lives in the house can have their own inbox to see their private messages.

My idea!

because there are some useful points like grouping, hierarchy relationship

hi

hello everyone , just wanted to remind you guys before we do the final version of prototype we need to see the prototype lecture slides

Thoughtful design !

Remember everyone our prototype should be very simple and easy to use and pleasing to the eye " Attention". A design that has a well thought out design and functionality. A creative design, thoughtful and really understands the importance of communication on refrigerators or anywhere else while making fun and innovative . All in all, what do you think about these ideas of creativeness?

Powerpoint slides

Hi guys,

This chapters is talking about the prototype step so we should readthis chapters its related and its has useful points based on HCI terminology

http://www.id-book.com/downloads/Chapter_11_ID2e_slides.ppt#306,3,Prototyping and construction

just an example everyone...

Prototype design

This is my deisgn

thats the calender and time, with the memo,reminder button etc

interface

here is just an example of an interface its not to clear though.

for some reason its not rotating  to its original position.

Hello guys after all our findings and research , i came up with an idea how our design will look like and the functionality. So it will be a touch screen system as you see in that picture , their will be some interactive button on the left hand side and a calender in the middle and 4 buttons and the end.Please do have a look on that design and if you dont like it or any suggestions so do let me know so we can improve it.

If someone cant see the pictures properly ask me to send it to your mails .

Thanks
