Hi everyone, we didn’t do a post last week because thought it would be more meaningful if we post after today — our playtest day.

We iterated our UI and interactions multiple times since our Halves prototype. During our playtest, we showed them our current version. Unfortunately, our playtesters couldn’t make it today so we playtested it with the other team internally. Most of the feedback we obtained is targeted on what each section of the UI represents and how we can better display it.

From this picture, we can see how the axes can be sorted (below), how the label heatmaps are displayed (top-left) and how the view count/view-like ratio is displayed as well.

We then asked them several questions based on our target UI mockup. Currently, we are prioritizing the data/video exploration experience over the pinpoint accuracy of data. The label heatmaps show the recency and relevance of labels in the past 30 days. At the bottom, only videos at the top of the assigned Y-axis metric (e.g. popularity) are displayed across the days. The other videos are collapsed and expandable by clicking the bottom circle for each column.

 

Next, we’ll look to implement further improvements for the prototype.
