  1. Wanderlust Pilot Field Study Presented by Brandon Bond

  2. Wanderlust App for Android • Collaborative exploration. Discover what is going on around you right now. • Team Members: • Ari Ashkenazi • Brandon Bond • Carolyn Scoville • Sheena Kapur • Vince Blas

  3. Experiment Field Study using Droid Razr M Android phone

  4. Method - Users • 6 users found on UW campus or friends. • Consisted of students and recent graduates • 21 - 26 years old • Users were either Android or iPhone users • All familiar with Seattle area

  5. Method - Environment • More realistic environment • Tested in several spots around campus, on the ave, and in users home • Only had facilitator, note taker and timer

  6. Method - Procedure • Explain application to user and give consent form • Have user perform each task • Observe and record clicks/reactions • Ask questions about individual tasks after each one is completed • Conduct post interview to ask for most difficult/easiest tasks, overall impression, suggestions and demographics

  7. Test Measures • Errors - Clicking on button that didn't help complete task • Task Completion Time • Rating of each task and entire application • Focused on qualitative observations including points of confusion, suggestions, and there thoughts when thinking aloud

  8. Task 1: Browse Points of Interest • Browse a point of interest and view its’ description

  9. Task 2: Create a MeetUp • Arrange to hang out with Friends at the “Diner” at 7:00pm

  10. Task 3: Create a new Point of Interest • Create a New Point of Interest called “The Lodge” at 2990 50th Ave NE

  11. Experimental Results

  12. Experimental Results - Errors • Very few errors, at most 1 per task • 10/18 tasks had no errors Errors include: • not being able to see New Meetup/ New POI buttons • Mixing up New Meetup/New POI buttons • Trying to create POI from map

  13. Experimental Results - Ratings (1-10, 10 being most usable/likeable) • Task 1 Usability: 7, 7, 8, 8.5, 9, 9 • Task 2 Usability: 5, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7 (caused by broken button) • Task 3 Usability: 6, 8, 8, 10, 10, 10 • Overall Usability: 7, 7, 7 ,7, 7, 8 • Overall Likeability: 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9

  14. Experimental Results: Comments • No context to color to distinguish Meetups/POIs • Data entry slow when creating items • Detail screen more visually appealing

  15. Experimental Results - Summary • Users overall thought the idea had potential and would use especially if friends also used • UI was rough in spots and more difficult to use than other applications • Buttons and tabs were intuitive or quickly learned after a few clicks around the application

  16. UI Changes

  17. Suggested UI Changes • Place Meetup/POI icon on detail bar to associate with create buttons • This will try to further distinguish difference between Meetup/POI

  18. Suggested UI Changes • Improve visual design of detail screens • Use widgets in text entry (if time permits)

  19. Suggested UI Changes • POI on tab will stay due to room, Points of Interest label added to actual page • Automation (future) • Meetup pin will be shifted slightly when overlapping with POI pin to see both • Broken New Meetup and back buttons will all be fixed

  20. Summary • Users generally completed all tasks very easy • Testing on real phone exposed new issues including data entry • Plan to clean up as much of ui as possible and continue to give it realistic Android feel
