Evaluation
Directions: Answer the following questions briefly and submit your answer via our
learning group.
1. Imagine that you are a consultant who is employed to help develop a new
augmented reality garden planning tool to be used by amateur and professional
garden designers. The goal is to find out how garden designers use an early
prototype as they walk around their clients’ gardens sketching design ideas,
taking notes, and asking the clients about what they like and how they and their
families use the garden. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the three
approaches (note-taking, audio recording with photographs, and video) for data
recording in this environment?
2. For each of the following products, consider what kinds of data gathering would
be appropriate and how to use the different techniques introduced earlier.
Assume that product development is just starting and that there is sufficient time
and resources to use any of the techniques.
A. A new software app to support a small organic produce shop. There is a
system running already with which the users are reasonably happy, but
it is looking dated and needs upgrading.
B. An innovative device for diabetes sufferers to help them record and
monitor their blood sugar levels.
C. An ecommerce website that sells fashion clothing for young people.
