Project details

• Choose a real location
• Who could benefit from a Smart-Its based system
  at this location?
• What could be supported with Smart-Its at this
  location?
• Do a small-scale observation, interview or focus
  group to get information about the potential
  user, task and context
• Motivation for choosing a particular data
  gathering method?
• Describe how you performed this, e.g. what
  questions you asked, what you observed
• Investigate and describe the important actions
  that happens in that location

Project details

• Do a small user, task and context analysis. That
  is we want you to answer questions such as
• Who are the potential users? E.g. are they mobile
  travellers at the train station or are they
  working there?
• Do you want to support an already existing task
  or design a new application? What does the task
  involve? E.g. the traveller enters the station,
  picks up or buy his/her ticket, checks
  information, buy news magazine
• What defines the context? E.g. the train station
  is heterogeneous waiting area, stores, it has a
  large flow of people passing

Project details

• Make a design proposal based on the technical
  requirements and what you know about the user,
  task and context
• Technical requirement Use at least two of the
  standard five sensors in Smart-Its and at least
  three objects should exchange data between each
  other
• How the product can be implemented using
  Smart-Its
• Overall structure instead of focusing on details,
  e.g. looks of interface

4
Project details

• We also want you to evaluate your design proposal
  to get feedback
• In order to do that, you need to find a way to
  communicate/describe the idea to the people
  involved in the evaluation
• Functionality and interaction can be described in
  e.g. a
• Paper prototype
• Scenario

5
Project details

• The evaluation is optimally done with real
  potential user
• However, for this project, engaging other people
  can also give you valuable feedback
• Feedback on concept, technology, functionality..
• Most important is to get relevant, objective
  feedback!
• Describe in the report how you evaluated your
  prototype and what comments you got

6
Report details

• Product concept (ca. 1 paragraph)
• Analysis of the area (ca. 1 page)
• Design process (ca. 2 pages)
• How the product can be implemented
  usingSmart-Its (ca. 2 pages)
• Business plan (ca. 1 page)
• Ca. 6 pages with illustrations
