SECTION A A1. Redesign Rationale It was discovered from the first design iteration (Pass 1) that the mental model for
TripEquipt was not very well defined, and that the application was encompassing more
features than it ought to have. Our pass 1 design did not accurately portray the app’s
services, which was a mapbased note organization tool. The biggest flaw behind it was
that the map display was not made to be a central part of the interface; thus, preventing
a user from making obvious connections to what functionalities the app provides.
Moreover, we decided that our original design contained too many features, which
caused it to become unclear on whether it was a trip planning software or a trip
organizer application. As such, it was important for us to determine a smaller subset of
the existing features we’ve planned that should be kept, and would still allow the app to
perform as the organization tool we initially wanted it to be.
Based on our learnings from the first design iteration (Pass 1), we will be redesigning
our interface so that its main focus will now be a mapview, where users will be able to
add markers to locations on the map. Additional information (notes, bookings, etc.) can
then be added to these markers. This will provide users with a better mental model and
can be deemed analogous to pinning items to a physical map to keep track of
information associated with locations.
To proceed with our redesign, we have decided on a vertical prototype approach. The
choice of a vertical prototype was to allow our test subjects to deeply explore a few of its
features. This would allow us to gather more useful evaluation information without
questionnaires. A horizontal prototype would have likely had test subjects focus too
much on outward appearance. Furthermore, although our previous prototype had been
created using an online tool called Flinto that already allows for the creation of medium
to high fidelity prototypes, we have opted for a new tool called Invision. We have chosen
this tool because it allows easier integration of multiple screens, it also also allows live
collaboration between team members so that notes can be taken and ideas can be
easily shared throughout the design process.
CRITICAL QUESTIONS
Does the mapbased interface help the user build a mental model that makes the
system’s functionality straightforward and understandable?
What subset of our current features is absolutely necessary, and which can be
thrown out without compromising the app’s main functionality?
How will the application differentiate itself from other note taking applications
such as Evernote?
How useful would the application be to a user? For what purposes would users
use this application? Who would it appeal to?
Does the application provide a navigable interface that is easy to use?
EVALUATION NEEDED
A questionnaire would be a means to help answer some of the critical questions
mentioned above. Questionnaires serve as a good evaluation method as they can be
easily distributed to a wide target group, they do not require the presence of an
evaluator and allow results to be quantified. The style of questions presented in the
questionnaire would most likely be a combination of openended to gather various
opinions and closed where responses will be restricted thus allowing results to be easily
analyzed. However since questionnaires do sometimes have low response rates, we
will also consider conducting interviews.
What needs to be measured?
Overall user satisfaction with the application design / features
Problems encountered
Whether users would use the application and for what purposes
Current process used by users for notetaking / triporganizing purposes
Time taken / ability to perform certain tasks within the application
User interpretation of application vocabulary
Readability of text and ability to find / use various elements (menus, buttons, etc.)
within the application
Usefulness of the application
A2. Additional Analysis and Evaluation Our design review revealed that our mental model was unclear. Therefore we
collaborated and came up with the most effective way to implement a clear mental
model to the user. (Notes from the final results of this brainstorm session can be seen
below)
We have represented a trip as a map, and an item on that map as a pin on the map,
and the details of that item as a postit note attached to the map via a pin. This way of
representation is effective as users can understand clearly the purpose of the product.
The map is the connecting layer between points and the pin is the connecting layer
between details to location. Anything a user could achieve by planning a trip using a
map, pins and postit notes can be done here.

SECTION B B1. Evaluation Protocol HYPOTHESIS
TripEquipt provides a more preferable way for backpackers between the age of 18 to 27
to save information pertaining to specific locations, compared to alternative note taking
platforms, by utilizing a visual map overview.
INDEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT VARIABLES
The independent variable in our study is the type of note taking method used to record
and save information regarding a location, whereas the dependent variable in our study
will be the ease of use as observed by the user, as well as the general type of
information that a user will enter as a trip detail.
TYPE OF STUDY
The type of study will be in the form of a questionnaire that is a combination of
openended and closed questions. The questionnaire will be able to provide qualitative
and quantitative data for analysis. The users will be provided with specific scenarios and
goals in using the app, to allow them to provide comments and answers that fit the
given questions.
DISTRIBUTION AND SAMPLE SIZE
Our questionnaire will most likely be available as a webbased form to a sample size of
around 20 representative users of the application. The selected users will consist of
young adults in their early or late 20s.
DATA TO BE COLLECTED
Problems encountered
Overall satisfaction with design / functionality
Satisfaction with presentation of data
Preference between using app or using text editors
Current process regarding notetaking / triporganizing
Text legibility and ease of finding elements
User interpretation of vocabulary used in application
Usefulness of the application
TASKS TO BE COMPLETED BY USERS
Users will be asked to complete a concrete set of tasks while using the prototype. The
amount of time taken and their ability to perform these tasks given the concrete task
examples will be recorded. Each task follows the same outline of asking a user to
examine a Wikipedia article of a given tourist location, and asking them to note down
any information they wish on a text field, as to simulate a typical notetaking process.
They then perform the following task using our prototype:
1. Adding a marker to the map and save it and review info created
a. Open “Evaluation Map 1”
b. Add a pin to Cabazon
c. Select “Tourist Attraction Pin” as the pin type
d. Add a title
e. Add details
f. Save the pin
g. Press the tourist attraction pin that was just created
h. close the pin after info is reviewed
2. Adding a marker to a more detailed map and saving it
a. Open “Evaluation Map 2”
b. Add a pin to the Eiffel Tower
c. Select “Destination” as the pin type
d. Add a title and details
e. Save the pin
f. Press the destination pin that was just created
3. Adding a marker to a more detailed map
a. Open “Evaluation Map 3”
b. Add a pin to Tokyo Disneyland
c. Select “Destination” as the pin type
d. Add a title and details
e. Save the pin
f. Press the destination pin that was just created
4. Adding a marker to a more detailed map
a. Open “Evaluation Map 4”
b. Add a pin to City Hotel Amsterdam
c. Select “Booking” as the pin type
d. Add a title and details
e. Save the pin
f. Press the destination pin that was just created
Additionally the users will be instructed to explore the prototype on their own and note
down any problems they encountered and their overall satisfaction with the design with
regards to aesthetics and legibility (text, button/menu placement, etc.). Users will also
be asked to interpret the vocabulary used within the application and comment on the
current processes they use for notetaking / triporganizing in order to validate that the
product is solving a problem and users need it. The questions provided in the
questionnaire will include product validation questions as well as some questions to
help with the vocabulary and design of the interface so users understand how to interact
with it better.
SECTION C
C1. Subjects The representative users in our studies were primarily students or younger adults,
particularly those who travel during their breaks. An archetypal user in our study would
be a student in his/her early twenties who is a frequent traveller to new places. A
commonly used name for our target demographic would be backpackers.
Roughly a quarter of our volunteer users evaluated with our questionnaire have also
participated in the evaluation of Pass 1. One of the main implications of having users
involved in both studies is that they might have become more familiarized with the
interface than if the interface were completely novel to them. With the increased
familiarity, these users may have an increased preference toward the interface. They
may also have an increased ease of use due to familiarity if the design of the two
interfaces are similar. However, in our case, there is little similarity between Pass 1 and
Pass 2.
C2. Evaluation Results Our evaluation validates most of our rationale for our approach to our prototype and our
design. According to our polled users, the top 3 tools used when planning trips are
email, paper maps and text editors. As such, our choice in adopting a mapbased
visual interface that is coupled with editable text fields was an appropriate decision.
Moreover, we have discovered that the usage of a perceivedcompetitor software like
Evernote was not as significant as the usage of regular text editor software like
Microsoft Word.
Our first set of questions were created to examine the statistics in how our users
planned their trips currently. With our results, we have determined that maps are a very
central part of this process. Moreover, we noted the fact that many users add new
locations to their trips once they are already in the trip. Thus, this shows us that allowing
for an easily customizable service is important. We also determined that in general,
users find trip planning to be overwhelming.
Regarding their experience with our prototype, our hypothesis was mostly confirmed. In
general, most users claimed to have preferred using our prototype over using a text
editor when it comes to noting down trip information. Moreover, most determined that
they found it easier. However, with regards to speed, most did not see much of an
improvement. In regards to a paper and pencil alternative, the results were similar. Most
users found that it was preferable to take down trip details on our app instead of writing
it down on paper. Also, we discovered that users were very receptive to our app’s
visuals and design. They noted that the map interface was very useful. In general, they
found that the process of adding new pins to maps was a straightforward process. With
regards to our other metric of determining the general info entered by users when noting
down details of a certain destination, our tests were useful in understanding the general
behaviour amongst the users. Mainly, we discovered that most made sure to write down
some sort of title, addresses and phone numbers, as well as general descriptive notes
about the locations. Thus, we are able to make sure that on our pin creation screen, we
can make it so that these details would be easily presented for a user to fill in. However,
despite our results and as we will later state, we discovered that our user evaluation
was flawed and was not a perfect analysis of our app.
Although we have tried our best to create an evaluation that fully examines the
effectiveness of our prototype, there are some limitations that arise. For one, our
sample primarily consists of users of around the same age (that is, young adults in their
20s). As such, it may exclude some valid opinions that can be made by those outside
that age group. Furthermore, another limitation is the fact that the prototype does not
allow text inputs, and mostly relies on the user clicking the correct buttons. Thus, it does
not act as a perfect alternative of a typical text editor interaction.
After our demonstration of our experiment to the professor and teaching assistants, it
was determined that the results were biased in favour of TripEquipt due to how users
were told to type in information into a text box which represents alternatives to
TripEquipt. The textbox was too basic and did not provide an accurate representation of
competitors such as EverNote or Google Docs. There is a possibility that users might
prefer note taking apps for planning trips because of the other features provided in
them. We also did not run any tests where users would be made to write down their
notes on paper. Thus, an issue arises where questions we posed that asked users
whether they preferred our app compared to a paperandpencil approach would be
unfair as the latter was not an option that was provided in our tests. Had we known
about the biasing effect in our questionnaire, we would have structured it differently to
gather data which effectively determines whether TripEquipt’s interface truly is
preferable.
C3. Final Design Rationale & State of Design Discussion We believe our interface design is very aesthetically pleasing based on comments of
users who filled out our questionnaire as well as comments from the professor and
teaching assistants. We feel that the best aspect of our app is the map interface, which
given the comments given, is very helpful and emphasizes the general visual model that
we are aiming for. The map UI allows users to better understand the app’s relation to
trip planning and allows them to immediately go about locating destinations that they
wish to organize details and information on. The pin system and the associated notes
also provide a great way for users to create and save trip information that is easily
viewable whenever it is needed.
Based on the results of the questionnaire, we personally believe that TripEquipt is better
for planning trips than text edits and note applications. However, due to our study being
biased towards TripEquipt’s interface, our study data is not able to provide us with solid
evidence of users having a preference for TripEquipt over note taking apps. Thus,
improvements can be made by examining just how TripEquipt could be made better
compared to text editing software. Improvements can start by initiating more tests, but
with metrics measuring speed and note taking convenience.
All things considered, we feel that TripEquipt is a an app that provides benefits and
interesting alternatives compared to the current available trip planning methods. The
map interface is something that provides a lot of advantages in user easeofuse and
provides an accessible mental model. However, with what we have currently observed
and determined, TripEquipt is mostly an alternative that’s worth considering with a few
features that offer an advantage, but is not yet a complete product that is superior to
other existing methods.
C4. Reflection on Design Process Throughout the course of the project, we learned many valuable tools for assessing
usability. A heuristic evaluation was found to be very useful due to its simple
requirements for time and people. Also, its very to apply and nearly anyone can be
taught how to apply it in a short period of time. How to use some prototyping tools such
as Flinto and Invisionapp was also a highly valuable skill acquired throughout of the
course of the project.
A lot has changed when it comes to our perspectives when it comes to viewing
interfaces. Now, we see them in terms of their mental models. There are many things
that we are now considering when designing new interfaces. We think in terms of the
many heuristics we have learned such as having the system match with the real world.
If we were to design another interface, we would have started with something much
simpler as our initial throwaway prototype. A paper prototype would have suited our
initial needs better. A medium fidelity prototype was found to be too distracting for
experiment subjects in our pass 1 evaluation.
When it came to our user study, we should have tried our best to give the competitors a
fair chance when comparing against the interface we designed, instead of comparing
with the lowest common denominator as we did. In order to determine the alternative
platform to use in our study, we would first have had to send out questionnaires to users
indicating their preferred platform to determine what platform is the most popular for the
given task. Next we would have had to gather subjects that were familiar with that
platform for our user evaluation study so that we could actually validate our product. By
comparing against the most popular alternative platform, we would have been able to
make assertions on our product. Furthermore our user evaluation would be structured
much differently with better structured tasks.
Even though our evaluation study did turn out to have serious flaws, we have learned
from our mistakes and will be able to conduct such studies in the future if we ever need
to with a higher degree of confidence.

Regardless of preference you think TripEquipts' way of planning locations for a trip ismore reliable than other methods you have used.
You think that TripEquipt requires too much planning ahead compared to what youcurrently do while planning a trip.

Please input any other comments you have regarding the survey or the prototypeinteractions below
Great job. I really liked the interface and simplicity of the interactions
I thought the prototype was sufficient at demonstrating the application
test run
I do not plan my trips very much, but I think it is a useful tool for visualizing my trip on a map and
remembering any plans I make

TripEquipt gives a lot of wonderful information but it lacks a lot of information too. Would be better to
use more tools to get more information.
It's a bit confusing regarding what's the difference between tourist pin and destination pin in reality
it's not very realistic (rarely) to drag around map and pin attractions, when I am not familiar with a
city I am much more likely to make use the search function, so that should be a emphasized more
notes are pretty general, I don't record details about the attractions much, but I care more about
things like ticket price, hours and how to get there
I actually really liked this app and it has an inviting user interface. I would probably use this app
when planning a big trip.
Simple an Easy to use. I personally like how the pins on the location also shows the agenda for that
particular location.
