Inlägg "There is a deadline of Feb 14 for two items ..." | Utveckling av mobila tillämpningar (ID2216)

There is a deadline of Feb 14 for two items (Functional Prototype and Wireframes) on the wiki. Is there something that we have to turn in? I understand if we send you wireframes, but I'm not sure if we will have a working prototype by next Monday. So, what is it exactly that we have to have completed and what do we have to turn in?

At the bottom of the wiki it describes what are the deliveries. For these particular cases are the following:

Interactive prototype: A first prototype of the mobile application. It should include at least 1 use case. Test your prototype with real users (record and take notes for documentations).
Wireframes: Wireframes of the whole mobile application. Should include all the use cases and different views with their layout.

The idea is that after reflecting on the input from the paper prototype and building the clickstream + sitemap you should build an interactive prototype by using AppInventor, HTML or Android SDK. Something simple to test more things than just the visual aspect but maybe things like sound, vibration, etc.
After testing it with real people and getting some more feedback on that, you do your wireframes which will be setting up the layout for the final application that you will have to present at the end of the course.

For next week the deliveries are interactive prototype results + wireframes. That's the reason we practice with app inventor the other day.

On the other hand, some of you do not have Android Phones. For I suggest you take your laptop using the emulator. It is really not ideal but is the only way I can think of.

I think we could build the wireframes of our paper prototype, and give a fake interaction to the user (via emulator), but we don't know how to do what we actually want our app to do, and since testing and getting feedback is part of the assignment, should we focus on trying to make our app actually do something, or just fake what we'd like our app to do, and get feedback on that?

I understand. It wont be possible to have everything for the interactive prototype, but surely we can get something more interactive (even if part of it is fake) than a paper prototype so hopefully the input will be different. Try focusing on the interactive aspects of the app. If you think you do not have enough time for Monday it's OK to give it a few days later but not later than Thursday. You will need good time for the actual application!
