Usability Testing of Roomster App Usability testing occurred during the one-week span of March 9-16. We divided our testing into two rounds, the first round on March 9 and the second round on March 16. After the first round testing, we optimized our prototype according to participants’ suggestions, then held the second round testing one week after. Ten participants were recruited who had never heard of our project before but yet had a need to look for roommates, or had related roommate-finding…
In order to create useable and target group oriented user interfaces, it is of utmost importance to evaluate design decisions. Interactive prototyping tools are a way to evaluate the interaction between different views of a user interface. Such tools are available for all platforms and with different feature sets. In the following, we discuss two of them: Balsamiq Mockups (or Balsamiq for short) and POP. While Balsamiq is available for desktop computers (with a desktop-optimised web version…
Interface Design [Add usage scenario] 1. PocketMenu (Adapted from Pielot et al.’s paper, 2012, CHI) [Do I need to describe the original work first, and distinguish the difference? Or should I depict my adapted design directly?] Adapted from Pielot et al.’s work, PocketMenu, this design aims for providing a new type of menu interaction without the needing of visual feedback. The menu item stack is located along the bottom left edge of the screen vertically. Its precise location depends on the…

specific research will focus on paralysis of limbs and spinal cord injury resulting from brain trauma and these injuries can be improved with the introduction of computers and biotechnology related to a brain computer interface therapy. “Brain computer interfaces (BCI) or brain machine interface (BMI) take signals acquired from the brain, analyzes, and then decodes the signals into commands that are transmitted to output devices…
the operating system didn’t receive a much positive reception by the users. Microsoft then embarked on how they can solve the problems associated with this operating system. For instance, most people had complained of issues to do with the user interface and a few had also complained about some functionalities. Instead of releasing Windows 9, Microsoft released Windows 10. However, this version of Windows has not been finally released to the market as it is currently under a technical preview.…
Interfacing the Interface As cities evolve, the way that citizens interact with them through interfaces evolves as well. The modern smart city usually involves incredibly complex technological interfaces that provide citizens with constant information about their surroundings in real time. In her journal titled “Interfacing Urban Intelligence,” Shannon Mattern discusses these interfaces and the image they present about the values of the city its citizens. She argues that since the citizens…
