Week 4 - In class excercise

Week 4 - In class Exercise 

Exercise 1:
What components are relevant to driving behavior? 
Gender differences, personal characteristic, safety issue, traffic warning tickets.
What are the interactions of those components with the driver when driving?/
What would you test?/
How would you test?/

Exercise 2:
Alarm clock application for your smartphone with the following key features:

• Can set, edit delete multiple alarms
• Can daisy-chain alarms - if one is allowed to ring out, another is activated automatically
• Can set different tones for different alarms
• Shake phone to snooze

Design and describe a horizontal, a vertical and a diagonal prototype for this application

HORIZONTAL
    A prototype that models many features but with little detail

• a horizontal slice of a system's structure chart from the
  top down to a specific depth
• most useful in the early stages of design
• purpose is to test the overall interaction metaphor, so
  includes common functions that the user is expected to
  perform frequently

Things that user can interact with the alarm application:

1. Add alarm alert: Goes to add alarm/settings page and press the + button.
2. edited daisy alarm: Goes to add alarm/settings page and press the + button on the alarm you wish to edited
3. Cancel alarm: press "-" to remove the alarm alert

VERTICAL

    A prototype that models few features but with much detail 

• vertical slice of a system's structure chart from top to bottom
• most useful in the later stages of design
• purpose is to test details of the design

This application can allow user to edit time feature, date feature, ring tone feature and repeat feature. These paper prototype represent how user can interact with this app when changing time, date, ring tone and repeat settings. 

DIAGONAL

    A prototype that is horizontal down to a particular level, then vertical below that point.

Combine the most important feature between vertical prototype and horizontal prototype together. In order to deliver final product, however, tests need to be done first to get feedback for further implementation.
