So, today we met again, we wanted to decide on the interface we are going to design for the second assignment. During our brainstorming session we came up with different ideas, but we narrowed it down to two different models that we want to present for the second seminar. Here they are:
1- Smart googles with built-in voice recognition technology that will aid on real time navigation. These will have minimized interface in order to avoid clutter on the user’s vision that could be dangerous while riding a bike. We want to include a map on one of the corners of the vision field, the map shoud be as minimalistic as possible, we thought of the map on the videogame “Metal Gear”, neon lines on a single colour background, color dots indicate our position, destination, and other features. We want a sleek user experience for this googles, the interface should be smooth, fast, accurate, and give a sense of sophistication.
2- A 7″ tablet-like touch device that can be attached to the bike using a frame. This navigation system will be very similar to applications that already exist, we though of Garmin or Waze over Google Maps. This interface does not have to be minimal so we could include more features and visual options for a better experience. We want to use a touch screen, geolocation, voice recognition to navigate easily, it could also be connected to the internet and include various extra features such as live notifications. We want a satifying user experience for this product, it should be simple but complete, robust and reliable, easy to navigate with an intuitive user interface and a complete range of features.
