My Interactive Prototype

Having originally proposed an interactive prototype, finding out that i couldn't do and then reporting a paper prototype using the hueristic's and what not and then manage to work out ways, with the help of masters, come to the conclusion of an interactive prototype. I think all in all, this is pretty confusing but very cool!

ITS ALIVE

After several ages of beating the computer with the director bible repeatabley and emailing my last years lecturer John Halpin from CSN for much needed wisdom and guideance it finally came together and works. My god, i have a 3D environment!!

Paper Prototype

Because i didnt have faith in whether i would not be able to complete an interactive prototype in director i felt during my research document, the practical phase, that it would be best to pursue a rapid paper prototype. A video scenario prototype was also considered after a tutorial with simon but in the end i only used the scenario as a basis for my paper prototype. A hueristic evaluation was also undertaken during the development of the prototype. This evaluation is included in the Appendix section of the research document.

Below is the scanned Paper Prototype:

Abbey Books u legends!

Just picked the books.... They look great! Found a few niggly capitalisation mistakes and one or two spelling mistakes. All n all, they look like a form a pornography in their hard back glory! YUM!

Simon, sign off and tell me its golden!

This was cutting it fine. I had planed to be at the printers at 9am this morning to hand in my research document for printing and binding and then catch a lecture with simon about the upcoming exhibition. Unfortunately i got a little nervous and wanted to give it a final look over by a pro to make sure it was ok. After my nerves were calmed saw the it looks good face i ran for the door draggin jack and joe by the arms in order to make a speedy dash to catch the printers. WOO HOO!


Its over now right?!

Prototyping - design Phase

The first 5 images are screens from the finalised design of the system.







Bellow are previous designs and test prototypes not talked about in the research document. These were more so for personal development and uderstanding of organising elements in 3D space.






Bellow is a mock up i made based on the window manager mentioned in my lit review developed in austrailia as part of a similar research project.

Some sketches for the prototype!
