Week 1 Update

March 31 & April 2, 2015

Tuesday - March 31, 2015

In this class, we will propose, design, and develop a high-fidelity interactive prototype. At the end of the quarter, we will deliver a complete interactive experience of our project. But first we began by producing an intial pitch. By next Tuesday, we will need to make a 3-5 minute pitch.

After looking through a variety of projects from past quarters of CSE 440, past HCDE capstone projects, and past Informatics capstone projects, we are interested in the following two projects:
We are especially interested in the Journey by Expedia project, especially the offline aspect of the app. We plan on pitching this idea in our Thursday meeting and getting some feedback.


Thursday - April 2, 2015: Review Pitch Ideas

The pitch we will presenting to the class needs to address the following questions:
  • What is the problem?
  • What existing understanding of the problem has been developed?
  • What is the unique design insight?
  • What is the interesting interactive question?
  • What might the group plan to accomplish?
  • What might a group explicit decide to omit?

Overall, we received positive feedback from James and the TAs on our pitch idea for Journey. Therefore, we plan to address the above questions in our pitch to the class on Tuesday.
