Hi-Fi Tutorial Development & Prototype Testing

I simplified the overview even more and distilled it down to a six slide experience that the user could scroll through. At the end of the overview the user can decide whether to go to the longer, interactive tutorial or just get started using the app. I integrated this overview with the tutorial and animated the various parts of the tutorial, elevating the prototype from low-fidelity to high-fidelity.

I user-tested eight users, one of whom was new to prototyping this app. All of the users enjoyed and understood how to use the app and found getting started much faster. They were also pleased with the animated sections. To see the user-testing of the integrated tutorial…

Rapid Iterative Lo-Fi Prototype Testing

I finished making the lo-fi prototype in InVision and user-tested four people. After each round, I made revisions to the prototype based on problems that the user encountered and suggestions made to clarify instructions. View the current iteration of the prototype here.

The biggest insight gained was although this tutorial is interesting and helpful, it is long and makes the texting process seem complicated. I do not plan to scrap this but instead I will create a brief overview. Rather than a first-time user being met with this tutorial, a brief overview will be made to show the anatomy of the app, simple texting and sending, adding an aura and sending, how the app predicts (forecasts) auras, text styling, and how to access this longer tutorial. The overview will not be interactive. Instead it will be a series of animations for each step where the user has to confirm that s/he "got it" to move on to the next step. To see the rapid iterative testing…
