High-Fidelity Prototype
March 31, 2010
In the time spanning the submission date for the lo-fi prototype and the deadline for the hi-fi prototype, our ideas have evolved into a different design project. We have identified the target audience as hiker monitors, or people who are watching the progress of a hiker while collecting contextual data from the hiker’s mobile phone and viewing the data on a large-screen PC.
The mock-up of our interface is displayed below. The left-hand side shows a Google Earth map of Yosemite and Half Dome, and the right-hand side contains data visualizations for speed, ambient light, and weather conditions. Time is represented as a scroll bar, as well.
High-Fidelity Prototype for Mountain Hiker Contextual Data
When you click on the image above to view the screen-sized interface, several features become apparent. The visualization in the form of a satellite image of a trail hike in Yosemite National Park is outlined in red on the map. The hiker’s current position is displayed with the icon of a man carrying a backpack. On the right-hand side are data visualizations for the hiker’s speed, the ambient light, and the weather. Positioned in between the weather and ambient light displays is a slider that can be used to adjust the time. In other words, by sliding the bar, data from a time frame spanning 24 hours can be viewed in the graphic displays.
