End of Semester Results

After gathering some great data from our interviews, we iterated to the final presentation of our design.

Testing

We interviewed a many people, both in-person and online.

Iterate: Make it Mine

The name ‘Mine’ came to be while envisioning the power of using this product. We simplified our interfaces for impact and clarity while also capturing some playful interactions.

Iterate: Digestible

We focused on statistics, text analysis, and displaying results through easily digestible tidbits of data insight.

Iterate: {blank}-ability

Bringing together everything we brainstormed and discussed, we created an early design iteration of what would eventually become Mine.

Brainstorming

What can we create that uses data to improve the lives of individuals? We started by generating some ideas, then came at it from a couple other directions around the data itself.
