Midterm Presentation

Link to the presentation slides

The presentation has helped confirmed my direction and the aspects to work on in the next few weeks. Thanks a lot to everyone who listened and gave great feedback! It’s also great to have everything documented in the slides at an earlier stage. I think it will be super helpful for later documentations.

Production Timeline

A more specific breakdown of the next 5 weeks:

Week 1: continue user interview, interview content analysis and summarization, storyboard for collected stories, low-fi wireframe with updated functions

Week 2: continue low-fi wireframes, draw at least 1-2 key frame in Figma (mid-fi)

Week 3: finish 3-5 key frames in Figma (mid-fi), create 3 sets of 3d models

Week 4: finish up mid-fi wireframes in Figma, create more 3d modeling

Week 5: user testing and explore ways of incorporating interactions with Unity

This week’s progress

Conducted 2 user interviews + edited low-fi wireframes

Interview Insights:

  • For positive emotions, add some way of featuring the moment (like album or trophy)
  • For visible emotions, use more visual aspects like color and 3d modeling; for private information, allow more space for expression while the user can choose to share or not
  • Explore more possibilities with the mobile phone’s unique usabilities (how is it different from sticky notes, journals, website blogs etc)
