Assignment2 (App Prototype) TODO

Requirements

Application

  • It must address a problem that fits the design brief
  • It must fulfil a need, address a problem, or explore an opportunity that benefits a specific user group other than students
  • It must make use of sensors in the device
  • It must make use of the Azure cloud infrastructure
  • Need to document the source code appropriately.

Video

  • explanation of the problem the app aims to solve
  • a justification of how it addresses the design breif
  • description of the applicaiton design process
    • videos or pictures of brainstorming sessions and participant interviews
    • consent forms
  • live demonstration

Criteria

  • Fit to the brief
    • creative
    • fulfil a real need
    • solve a real problem, explore a real opportunity
    • supporting active decision-making
    • likely to lead to a safer future
  • User Research
  • follow user-centred design process
  • go out and interview users other than students
  • User experience
    • the usability of the application
    • make good use of aesthetic design principles
  • Sensors
    • make creative use of the sensors
  • Cloud
    • make creative use of the cloud
  • Code
    • well structured
    • well documented
    • implement what is shown in the video

Assignments1 TODO

  1. Choose the research topic
  2. Find recent work on the topic
  3. Imagine an Application, create diagrams, mockups, scenarios, does not have to be a mobile phone application
  4. imagine the research process to design and evaluate the Application
  5. write report using ACM Extended Abstracts format in ShareLatex. See tamplate: Template

Written as if the work has been already done. Use the past tense and the first person.Write in active voice .

  1. Record the presentation video. Contain
  • short overview of the related work
  • how the proposed prototype is different to or builds upon these past works
  • a visual presentation
  • an example of a usage scenario
  • how the application addresses the brief

Info about fictional research papers

Lindley, Joseph, and Paul Coulton. "Pushing the limits of design fiction: the case for fictional research papers (CHI 2016).

Example of a fictional research paper

Joseph Lindley and Paul Coulton. 2015. Game of Drones. (CHI PLAY '15)

The paper evaluation criteria

  • Does it address the brief?
  • Quality of the paper formatting: does the paper follow the format? Are the references in the right format? Is the research appropriately illustrated?
  • Quality of the writing: is the paper well-structured and organised? Is it written clearly? Is it engaging? Are there grammar or spelling mistakes?
  • Coverage of related work: is the related work appropriately covered? Are there important works missing? Are the works appropriately referenced? Are the works discussed relevant to the proposed research plan?
  • Quality of the fictional prototype: is the imagined prototype novel? Does it build upon previous work?
  • Quality of the research plan: are the design methods appropriate for eliciting requirements from the chosen user group? Are the evaluation methods appropriate for assessing the prototype? Are the methods described in detail?

The video scored criteria

  • Quality of the visuals
  • Quality of the delivery
  • Quality of the discussion
