Digital Prototyping & User Test

In the contact this week, each group was asked to present their current work to the rest of the class for digital prototyping and testing. Much the same as the previous paper prototyping, this was to see how they had changed their applications from the paper prototyping stage and get some more feedback now that a rough digital version of their apps had been created.

A number of groups had made great progress since the last round of prototyping and have started on some fantastic apps. 

The feedback we received was overall positive with a few criticisms. We were having issues making the Trove API work probably and a few room issues within the game which made the prototyping hard at stages. These problems we saw on the technical side of the project and were delegated as required. Some suggestions were also made regarding the visual design of the website and game that some colours did not work well together, text choices and layout. As I had been working on all of these aspects, I took it upon to review and will be making some appropriate changes.
