Class Meeting 29-11-22 - Manus

Attendance: Zach, Kája, Manus, Olivia

Group leader: Olivia

Discussion before talking to Phil:

Before our class with Phil we met to discuss where we are and what we needed to move forward with. Our main discussion was in relation to how we could implement the core feature of displaying information in real time. As advised by Dr.Ingo. We sketched a few rough ideas but struggled to implement them to our current designs. 


Discussion after talking to Phil:

After talking to Phil he advised us to take a step back and look at our project as if we starting afresh. We had a quick chat and decided that we all needed to draw up some brand new prototypes and to test them. Three of us had to go film for another module and Zach stayed back to work on prototypes.

To do:

-Take a step back and try and figure out the various problems with our idea and how we can fix them.

-Rapidly create and test several prototypes

Final Testing - Manus

Overview: In our last class meeting with Phil. We brought up that we were unsure of the customisable interests element to our app. Phil recommended that we do some last minute testing to see if people liked it. Participants: Sammy: Female 38 Joan: Female 61 Neil: Male 58 Rónán: Male 23 What were they shown: I explained the basic concept of the app to them and showed them my scribbles of the initial "which of these elements interest you" survey that would pop-up once you started the app for the first time. I got them to choose their interests and showed them their specific screens. We then went into some of the other features in depth.

After proceeding to the next screen the majority of opinions changed as the users wanted to see all of the. information. Not just the ones they had chosen. I tested the idea of the options being ranked but I realis...

Week 2-3 Research GAMIFICATION: Pokémon Go: Games such as Pokémon Go make users exercise by engaging them in capturing Pokémon by walking to locations in real life. This inspired people to walk/cycle to locations rather than drive which had multiple health benefits. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1875952121000082#:~:text=The%20results%20from%20our%20literature,reduced%20social%20anxiety%2C%20and%20openness. Zombies, Run!: This game engages you in exercise by telling you a compelling story through audio where you must run to certain areas to "collect" items to survive the zombie apocalypse. It is a fitness app that uses the storyline of a post-apocalyptic world where zombies are everywhere. It's another example of gamification that makes exercise fun, and more appealing than driving or taking public transport. https://blog.healthadvocate.com/2016/05/wellness-app-review-zombies-run/ CLIMATE APPS: NASA's Earth Now: NASA'...
