User Feedback

From our interaction with user walkthroughs in class last week, we got the following feedback:

Our current mouse layout is a little confusing. The previous layout had a single arrow for minimal mouse movement, and an arrow with a bar for larger movement. Users thought the arrow with bar implied the mouse would be moved to the edge of the screen. This was replaced with something like this:

> >> >|

Now you can have minimal movement, larger movement, and then jumps to the edge of the screen. This should alleviate any user confusion. These changes were reflected in Pat Day's assignment 2.

Week 4 Status Report

Tasks completed:
-Went over SRS feedback (Team, 30 minutes)
-Decided on using tango icon library for remote icons. This will allow for easy -recognition by the user (Suggested by Matt Broadstone)
-Went through user walk through of our prototype. Got some good feedback (James / Adim, 30 minutes)

Next week's tasks:
-Design Document (Pat will start the doc, team will complete, ~2 hours)
-Build on existing prototype (James, 2 hours)
-Work on mobile web interface (Adim, 1 hour)

Problems:
None so far!

Tango Icon Library

We decided as a team to use the Tango Icon Library for as many icons as we can. Tango is an open source icon library.
