Project: Hotplate remote app for smart phones

Viewpoint: Often it happens that to cook something we switch on the hotplate, but then we forget to switch it off as we get busy with other activities. Other times we have to make several rounds of kitchen to change the heating temperature or just to make sure that we have switched off the hotplates. Thus the hotplate business is not only time consuming but also loaded with some risk. In an attempt to make hotplates more automatic and convenient to use, I have designed the mobile app through which one would be able to control his hotplates directly from his smart phone. This app would require that the hotplate in kitchen should be connected to it over the same Wi-Fi network.

Goal: The primary goals of this app would be:
 Switch on/ switch off the hotplates
 Change the temperature of hotplates
 Set timer for reminder
 Automatically switch off the hotplates with its auto-cut option (found in general
settings)
 Display the hotplate status at any point of time

Target audience: This app is designed for an average user who uses or at least is familiar with smart phones.

Über mich

In the online course on Human-Computer-Interaction I designed a small project which was a part of our course work. It was a single-handed project which was handled throughout by me only with no team work. It took 2 months to complete the project. The project was divided into 6 parts:

1: Need finding: which involved observing an activity with three different people, identify their needs based on that activity and brain storm ideas to solve those needs.

2: Storyboarding: involved finding different inspirations to design ideas; later I had to illustrate 2 design ideas with storyboards: the storyboards clearly reflected the problem-solution scenarios.

3: Wireframing: involved creating 2 rapid interactive prototypes based on one design idea. I used Balsamiq for prototyping. The two prototypes explored different interfaces which addressed the same design idea.

4: Start building: involved choosing one of the two prototypes and start building. I used Microsoft power point to build the screens and prototyping tool Marvel to connect those screens. Apart from these tools, I am also experienced with Axure.

5: Ready for testing: By this time the prototype was completely interactive and ready for testing. I had to make an evaluation plan for user testing which addressed the basic testing points like what was being tested, what concerns, questions and goals was the test focusing on, when and with what target group the test would take place, how participants would share their feedback etc.

6: User testing: Finally the testing was performed with 3 users from the target group. The tests were designed to capture all useful information. After testing, several changes were suggested to the prototype and possible changes were implemented in the original prototype to make an alternative design.
