Intro

The explosion of smartphone and tablet

adoption in the consumer world cannot be

denied...Organizations should move boldly to

establish themselves in the mobile era and be

prepared to ride the tsunami as it evolves.

Those who do not may be left behind

Mobile Only (and beyond):

Apps are just the beginning

Problem Why care?

In the current economicrecession and rise of mobile,charities are struggling to stay

alive. Heres one reason why: Many NPOs (and for-profit companies,

too) have failed to tap into mobilespotential / influence.

Senior Design Project as stated

in Design Report: To incentivise volunteering / charitable

giving and foster communities, byoffering a mobile app that centraliseslocal good causes, offers mini-gamesand free gift cards.

Project Scope

The purpose of this project is to develop a file retrievaland management software that processes userfeedback to give better search results, as well as

mitigates the user burden of keeping mental track ofmetadata.


9/19

Customer Requirements

Most Important Customer Requirements:Interface offers clear affordances to the user

Use context/content to enhance searches

Load time for results list should not take more

than 4 seconds

Senior Project Final Deliverables

Software:

Working feedback-driven search results system

One working prototype with multiple configurations

Testing: Effects of file previewing:

Efficacy in finding a specific desired file visually

Ease of use/user satisfaction

File tagging and its effects on: Efficacy in using context to find a specific desired file

Ease of use/user satisfaction

Analyse the apps usability (heuristic evaluation)

Effects of associating files with programs

Examine the effects of dynamically re-shifting results list

Verification of theory that using context enhances file searching

Current Design Concept FeaturesFeature Customer Req. Rationale

Technology can be used onMac OS X

6My mother uses only Apple

products.

Breadth rather than depth inmenu design

2 Dont tax the users cognitiveresources, make navigation aseasy as possible

Index files 12Speed up load time of results

list

Use context to enhancesearches

6 Speed up find time

Support content previewing 9 Human users are visual

Support labelling, tagging 6Speed up find time, humans
