Interaction Design (in the exam: answer any ONE of Questions 1–5) A bicycle manufacturing company has developed a device that will help cyclists find routes and navigate. The device has a colour-display screen (not a touch screen), 7 physical buttons, a speaker, a microphone, a global positioning system (GPS), and a wireless internet connection. The device is water-proof and the display is bright enough to be readable in bright sunlight. The battery of the device gets charged as the cyclist rides the bicycle. Design a version of this device to be mounted on bicycles for 12 year old children. Your task is to do the following: • Create a storyboard in 5 steps showing the user interface that enables the user to specify a new destination that he/she has not been to previously. (10 marks) Evaluation criteria: Appropriateness of the user interface, integration of the hardware and the software and appropriate use of media. • Present a detailed screenshot showing the information design that helps the user to navigate while riding the bicycle. (10 marks) Evaluation criteria: Originality, appropriateness of the information design and appropriate use of media. • Illustrate the shape, size, and position of the screen, the 7 buttons, the speaker, the microphone, and the place where the device will be mounted on the bicycle. (10 marks) Evaluation criteria: Form, originality and rendering quality. • Illustrate a scenario in which the device is used for purposes other than the one mentioned above. (10 marks) Evaluation criteria: Originality, ability to understand the needs and constraints of the users.
