Hi all! Nice to see you again!
On Monday the team talked with the advisor and decided the outstanding task now is to decide the whole experience flow. Two team members starts to draw out every piece in the flow on paper so the whole team can look on it and discuss.
On Tuesday the team had the make-up meeting with the client and reported the newly designed flow. We agreed that we should quickly test this with the students to see how they feel on that. The team quickly built a paper prototype of the core experience, which is “wind blade design”, and planned to test these with the students on Thursday.
On Wednesday the team polished the prototype and prepared a questionnaire to collect the feedback. We planned to do a pre-post test to see if students get to know more about the topic after played the prototype. We also planned to video record the experience to see how they discuss through the experience.
On Thursday three team members went to EFSD and test the prototype with 34 students. We had many interesting discoveries in how students work through the design process, and students knew much more than we expected on the topic! A lot of valuable feedback was accepted from the students.
On Friday the team finished the first version of mock up UI, discussed about the playtest result and tried to refine the experience. The team also went to Jam-O-Drum in Alice Room and tested our top-down physical map idea. Unfortunately, it did not work as we expected; wind turbines were not clearly presented on such top-down projection. We need to find a new ay to do it.
The team needed to work out a new design of the installation quickly, and we were working towards it. See you next week!
