Weight List
Interaction Designer Evaluation Test - INdt
Designer: Barbara Martins Nicolau
The Process
1º Similar Research
I researched the applications of weight control that exist in the market, what are their de�nitions, interfaces, features, functions and the feedback of people who are using or have used any of these apps. There were four applications ana-lyzed: The iHealth iOS platform; Bluetooth weight scale for android; btScale and Simple Weight Recorder, both also on the android platform. All applications mentioned are very simple and with very direct interfaces, however I could see and evaluate how well the Bluetooth Scale works as the app receives and stores the data.
The Process
2º Enterview
All product design, must be centered on the user. The design-er must understand their users, knowing their tastes, their needs and desires. With that in mind I drafted 10 open ques-tions: How often and where do you weigh? Do you usually control your weight? What would help you control your weight? Do You feel good about your body? Among other questions, then put all the questions in a google doc form and made it available at the Facebook. There was an immedi-ate return of at least 20 responses. As I analyzed all the an-swers I noticed that most people who do not attend a gym, are usually weighing just a few times a month and are usual-ly doing in a drugstore, in contrast if people who exercise reg-ularly, they tend to weigh at least 3 times a week. Not a single user know or are using applications of weight control, but would like to use one that could compare current weight with the previous weight and �nd their icm. Furthermore, 60% of the people want more interaction on the weigh time and 50% feel better with your body when they are praised.
The Process
3º Interection with wii �t
Aiming to observe the interaction of people of di�erent ages with the wii balance, I asked four people to do a physical as-sessment of the wii �t. Líbia 40 years had so much fun with the wii technology and applications and had no problem in understanding the exercises. Rodrigo 16 years, on the other hand, presented some impatience with the various screens conversation and feedback that were appearing between ex-ercises. Rui 60 years, had much di�culty in understand the exercise and did not �nd the data given correct. Gadi 80 years, was guided by me and although she felt some di�cul-ty, seemed to have so much fun with all the screens and their results. All these experience has given me, many ideas to build the project.
4º Brainstorm
Time to put all the ideas in post-it.
The Process
5º Concept
What will my app do?Help the users to control their weight, in a practical and safe way.
Functions:Receive recent measurementsShow measurements historySet goalsShow noti�cations
Who is my app for?For any user who want or need to control your weight.
How does my app �t in?Samsung Galaxy S3Where and when will my app be used?In any environment that has a Bluetooth scale compatible with the app. At any time of day, preferably early in the day.
What kind of content will I display?Pro�le, Graphics, goals, interactions interfaces.
How can my app use the hardware?Bluetooth, smart alert, memory.
The Process
6º Structure
So with everything in mind, I set up the structure, the �owchart of screens, of how the application willwork, and the application navigation screens.
The Process
7º Sketch-up
After all the structure in place, I started drawing the screenson a paper, so I could see how many screens would berequired to perform a function, how easy will be to �ip toone screen to another, how properly and well the functionswill work and �nally perform a test to make as smooth aspossible to perform all the functions on the app.
The Process
8º Visual
Set all the application graphics, such as, what color to be use, typographies, sizes, the elements arrangements, choose icons or animation, and among others details.]
9º Prototype
I used illustrator and Photoshop programs to design all appli-cation interfaces. As I was projecting, I could review and change some elements.
10º Usability Test
I did not have time to test the screens with users, but noticed that the application �t the rules of usability. So I print all screens , so I could test the application with at least 3 mem-bers, even so in restricted way because I do not have any Bluetooth scale. So I asked Libia, Rodrigo and Rui, to interact with the �rst 3 basic application functions: Registration, Insert goals, and view graphs. Some di�culties were encoun-tered initially because it is a prototype of paper and other ne-cessities that have to be analyzed in the future.

Let you know
What were the di�erent stages on your process to create the proposal?
There were 9 stages as Follow: Similar research, interview, Wii �t experience, brainstorm, concept, structure, sketch-up, visual, prototype and usability test.
What were your main setbacks?
TIME! I did not have enough time to do a more detailedproject.
What would you like to do if you had more time to �nish the task?
I would like to insert new functions, improve screens, perform more tests, So I can improve the application, and �nd the wright balance between the App and the user. I also could analyzed better the error already found on the previews tests.
