Updating our prototype

Taking feedback into consideration we've decided to update our idea by having a look at how other successful products have accomplished similar issues.

So far the two things we have now identified before we do a final evaluation of our prototype are: design patterns and front buttons.

- The application of design patterns.
The drill down design pattern (described during a previous lecture) will provide a simple and effective way of displaying information.

- Front buttons.
Two possible competing ideas that are inspiring us on this are touch screen devices such as the iphone and lg verity versus the traditional button phone. Both make use of limited resources.

- Look of the watch/braclet.

This time the new prototype will be implemented in html, we've put up a flow diagram which link to screenshots here.



Other ideas that we will find inspiration for our idea from:

User walk through:

[do this in html, write script to measure how long it takes a user to do each task then report back with results.]
