The A/B tests were carried out digitally to stay consistent with the medium of documentation that has been used in the previous two user tests. For this user test, the method was to showcase both sets of gestures patterns one after another (alternating the order from user to user) to find out which set they… Read more

After evaluating all the 11 gestures that were used in the four gestures combinations narrowed down from user test no.1 and 2, a specific few stood out from the crowd and we placed them into “gesture heaven”, the favoured gesture of them all, both by the users that participated in the user test, and by… Read more

To further narrow down the four selected gesture combinations, Thomas and I joined together and had two separate workshops where we tried out all the different combinations while rating the different gestures in the combinations with a LO, M, or H rating. The gestures were rated under five different criteria that we believe were relevant… Read more

After having visualised all the gestures that were used in front of me, Thomas and joined together to quickly break down the gestures based on general feasibility into four different sets of gestures which each set including an aiming gesture, one or two selecting gestures, and one or two browsing gestures. We chose one open… Read more

This is a presentation of all the key gestures I’ve collected based on recordings of 4/6 user tests that I conducted for extracting people’s natural instincts of interacting when using gestures. User 1 “OPEN THE CURTAINS” This gesture was intended to signal the initiation of an interface. This user used this gesture in attempt to… Read more

*By digital I mean testing prototypes on distance via e.g Zoom, Discord, Microsoft Teams, and implementing wizard-of-ozzing when testing “functionality” but behind the screen, physical meaning I’m testing them in person sitting next to them, and moving the cursor based on either how i think they’re controlling it, or asking the user directly where to… Read more

I’m going to start with testing today, with the interfaces I’ve made, but it’s difficult because I’m aiming to test people on distance, virtually if you may. How that would function is that I will be sharing my screen, and paying close attention to their instinctive response, aka their initial response when they’re told that… Read more

As a follow-up of my previous post, I managed to gather two people to interview for my project! Both of them were my friends and they might’ve had a little idea of what I’m working of with my project prior to the interview but I think their answers were genuine! During the interview I realized… Read more

Day 1… I haven’t gotten much success today, went to a few locations to people watch, first in Centralen i Lund by the multiple ticket vendor stations, then to the basement of the Emporia mall in Malmö because there’s a concentration of people, grocery stores, and mall information kiosks all in one place. Today I… Read more

Typically, creating mood boards allows for collecting thoughts, ideas, color schemes and motifs into one place which helps any designer define a coherent design concept without losing sight of the bigger picture. However, mood boards can also be used early on in a research phase to collect thoughts for inspiration, even if they don’t necessarily… Read more
