Heuristic Evaluation



Here is an overview of all the parts of our paper prototype. It is meant to be a mobile phone design. Paper prototype image Link

Notes

One major lesson was that we had no help system, and the user had nothing to check when they weren’t sure what exactly they were supposed to do. We also learned that our labels (color of pin, icon of button, label of button, etc) weren’t as unituitive as we imagined, and that we needed to be more explicit and consistent with how we choose the labels. We also needed to give more feedback to the user on what their current state is. Additionally, we assumed our app’s map interface/metaphor would give more information about its functionality than it actually did.
