2. Overview The idea & the project Functional design Graphical design Some code (application, controls, …) The results Lessonslearned Questions
3. The idea – De Kinderpuzzel Participants need to match kids and parents 32 kids – 7 couples Participants gather knowledge about the kids during a number of assignments and lay out the puzzle at the end of each episode a Microsoft Surface is used to lay out the puzzle
4. Why Microsoft Surface ? multi-user – parents can work together to lay out the puzzle intuitive – parents can lay out the puzzle without any education or training visual – ideal device for showing the couples lay out the puzzle
5. The project Short term notice – 3 weeks for 2 applications one-time-use software – someshortcutswere taken Verystressed and occupiedproduction team onlyone face to face meeting Graphical design team that we had never met before Threedays of filmingonlocation
8. Functional design v1 – some issues too static couples can not be moved on the canvas kids can not be dragged onto the canvas not ‘surface-like’ not really multi-user
15. CoupleScroller a = height of the curve b = position of the center of the peak c = width of the ’bell’ http://www.metanous.be/boblog/post/Creating-a-fish-eye-scrolling-panel.aspx
23. Lessons learned one and two finger gestures are not intuitive “reset to last position” would have been a time saving feature functional and graphical design should be finished first take a good book – there is a lot of waiting involved
