User 1 was wondering does it suppose to put in the bottle than beep… She was confuse if she should put the bottle in first than put the card on.

User 2, 3 and 4 didn’t have problem to operate the system at all.

User 5 suggested by inserting the card instead of place it on. 

 

User 6 had problem with when is the right time to put in bottle at the first time. He suggested to have a small cover for the card, open it and place the card and do the disposing. Open the cover to take out the card after whole process are done.

User 8 didn’t closed the cover completely, so the system didn’t operate. She was having confuse if she did the process wrong.

User 9 was having concern about the privacy violation issue if the system collected the student’s data.

User 10 was asking if there is other way better than leaving the card on all the time.

The sustainable “Remote Bottle System” is designed to support and educate school faculties and individual members working toward the common goals of waste reduction and recycling. The build-in interactive system provides the experience of encouragement, convenient, engagement and efficiency for the public to reclaim their deposits.

A. FEEDBACK

  1. There are only minor conceptual refinements that needs to be made which are (from the observation, feedback) the interaction with the RRIF card with the system and the feedback on the monitor screen.
  2. The three main experienece that we would like to refine on that could improve the interaction design are Engagement, Efficiency and Convenience.
    1. Engagement – Are the aesthetics appropriate and appealing to users?
    2. Efficiency – Is the system functional and operational properly to the optimal?
    3. Convenience – is the process enjoyable?
  3. The four technical refinemnts that we are able to assess based on observatio, feedback and the use of our prototype during the open house are, insert card, crediting the card, handle on the lid, and bar code scanner.

Midterm Presentation (Wk 6-7)

We presented our partially operational and appearance prototype to the TA’s and received feedbacks on what needs to be changed on our prototype to make it more appealing and productive(Efficient) with our system. We made improvements on the next day.

Open House Planning Tuesday, Mar 4 2008 

As discussed in a group, we want to make a good impression with our presentation and prototype even though it is partially operational, to show the overall experience we want users to feel and understand. The goal and requirements that we set for ourselves is to have the deliverable ready and rehearsed, to be able to answer any inquiries that will be asked by the viewers in open house. We have set deadlines and brainstormed on how we would setup for the open house on and how to present with the walkthrough of our prototype. In this week, we have gone to different companies and search for the suitable materials for our prototype starting with our “recycling bin”

Poster Draft Assignment 2

Poster: We decided to use a more symmetrical  layout and have a rough schematic of how our prototype will work. We kept the text minimal because we don’t want our viewers to lose interest with our description and explanation of our project.

We decided to use the partially operational and appearance walkthrough with our prototype due to the lack of resources and skill level each individual team member possess
