Development Tools
• Foamcore model for first prototype• Benefits: Easy for users to
understand and interact with
• Cons: Locks down form factor early on in the design process
• Interactive PowerPoint with SolidWorks model• Benefits: Easy to develop and
alter
• Cons: Inherent difficulties with PowerPoint and lack of “power”
Printer InterfaceEasy-access functionality
Printing pictures
Emailing pictures
Ease of useClear buttons and flow
Simple method for emailing
Intuitive process
Development Tools
• Interactive PowerPoint with edited consumer model• Benefits: Easy to develop and alter, and consumer model gives sense of
scale
• Cons: Inherent difficulties with PowerPoint and lack of “power”
Unimplemented Changes
• SolidWorks model changes (physical interface)• Change lettering on the buttons• Add “Zoom” lettering above zoom toggle and change label
of toggle• Add black lettering to help make labels more clear• Aesthetic and overall form factor changes
• Interactive model changes (testing interface)• Add labels indicating current mode of usage• Clean up certain slides’ look and feel• Fix glitches in interactive slideshow due to PowerPoint
errors
Low Fidelity Prototype
•What we did•Made foamcore mock-up of camera with basic features• Tested general interface and mode card function
•What we later changed• Removed mode cards• Changed review function• Passed on sending decisions to separate printer interface
Heuristic Evaluation•What we did•Created electronic camera interface simulation•Designed and created separate printer interface
•What we later changed• Fixed inconsistencies in style and wording• Flagged certain features as needing more senior testing
