What are the functional components on the car here
a. shift/pedal gears just right beneath the steering wheel
b. wheel
c. meters
d. radio/mp3 player
e. GPS voiceover button (a call button on the steering wheel)
f. air cond temp and mode.
g. gears
h. handbrake
i. window buttons
j. side mirror buttons
What components are relevant to driving behaviour (when driving)?
- the steering wheel-driver needs to use it to control the direction of the car.
- the odometer and meters in front to allow the driver to drive safely within the speed limit or even know how much petrol is left.
- the gears/ shift pedals and also handbrake which lets the user control the speed of the car.
What functional component would you change?
i would make the odometer/meter gauge an extra holographic version that floats on the screen in front. This would make it easier for the driver as he doesn't have to look away from the driveway to look at the meters. The holographic doesnt have to be too big as it would distract the user sight to drive.
here's an example of a few cars with holographic meters.
Part 2:
Design & describe a horizontal, a vertical & a diagonal prototype for this application:
- Alarm clock application for your smartphone.
- Can set, edit & delete multiple alarms
- Can daisy-chain alarms - if one is allowed to ring out, another is activated automatically
- Can set different tones for different alarms
- Shake phone to snooze
Horizontal Prototype:
The application features a big simple digital clock as the top part of the screen and followed by multiple alarms that could be created and saved into it. Beside each alarms are toggles which users could use it to switch between on and off for each of the multiple alarms. There should be no maximum amount of alarms that could be created and users can easily scroll down by swiping up to view more alarms that have been created. There is also a settings button right at the btm right of the app. This allows the user to go into settings to change many of the default settings such as snooze time, shake to snooze, language and others. User can also double tap any alarm to edit it's individual settings such as a specific tone for it, and also setting a daisy chain for it.
Vertical Prototype:
From the horizontal prototype, users could double tap any alarm and go into this specific page. With this page, user could set specific tones for the alarm itself and also set a note. user can also choose another alarm to be activated if this alarm is turned off.
The page above here is the settings page. In this page, users could enable the shake to snooze and edit many other default settings such as default snooze time and also language of the application.
Diagonal Prototype:
Scenario:
Aly is just about to go to bed and she is worried that she couldn't wake up the next day at 8am as she has a very important driving test to attend at 9am. She needs to use a good alarm clock/app.
What happens?
Aly uses her smartphone and opens this particular alarm clock. Since she has to wake up at 8am, she sets an alarm at 8am. She goes into the settings page to toggle the shake to snooze so that the alarm would ring again just in case she's still awake.
Aly then creates another alarm at 8.20am and set another specific ringtone for this alarm. she goes back to the main page, and she double taps the 8am alarm and goes into it, and under the chain alarm section, she chooses the 8.20 alarm to be activated. This way, then Aly would definitely be alert when it's the 820 alarm because of the different tone of the alarm. Aly goes to bed peacefully knowing that the alarms would definitely wake her up the next day.
