Our Prototype

Here is a photo of our first prototype of the DigiCab which will be tested on the personas.

We have made the screen to be rectangle shape and to have a sharp edge at each corner of the screen. The screen on both left and right hand side are made in square shape because it looks like a speaker kind of look. Most speakers are designed in square shape (the structure) and we believe it could be helpful to use that in our design. We have used both red, yellow and blue colour for our prototype. We believe they are colourful and since children aged between 2 and 3 years are going to use it, they would love the colour that appears on the screen. Initially, we thought of putting 20 different photos on the screen but after having some discussions with our members, we decided to put in 16 photos instead due to a large number of photos that might confuse the users.

Even though we have made this decision for our initial prototype, it is not really our final design. This is what we believe our end device would be based on our observation at the nursery and the personas that we have created. We would be evaluating our prototype with the parents and our personas to get their feedback before re-designing them.
