The UI Options team is planning to implement a prototype of the Discovery Tool in July. Today, we met to review the wireframes and discuss what we would be implementing, and how.
Wireframes: http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Preference+Discovery+Tool+%28June+7%29 GPII preference and preset sorting https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Agr-w59WAkRjdEM2eXN1bFN5VTg3cU9PNmtrT1FIYnc#gid=0 PiratePad notes: (might not always work) http://piratepad.net/JSiISW8sp0 A summary of the notes in the PiratePad are provided below. Goals for the Discovery Tool: 1. Address the meta cognition issue 2. Create a safe space to play around with preferences and see what they do 3. Built right into the context where the user is - do not require a change in mode Clarification of some of the functionality: * presets are on/off, no other adjustments of settings * "Try Something New" button randomly selects presets to be set * "Save preferences" button takes user to the PCP Of the various presets shown in the mock-ups, our first pass at a subset to implement for the prototype is: 1. Simplify 2. Zoom 3. Contrast Discussions of parts that need to be implemented ================================================ Panel at the bottom of the page: - could implemented as a UIO "fat panel" that pops up from bottom instead of pulling down from top -- the preset 'buttons' would be settings panels - 'try something new' chooses and applies - still to determine: how many are selected by randomizer - user can un-choose anything that the randomizer has chosen - still to decide how presets would affect panel itself Save Preferences functionality - to start, will simply pop up a dialog that says "This will take user to PCP" Contrast - discover tool would only implement one colour combination - colours, font face and font weight -- we have no exiting code to do font weight Increase Size - increase font size and increase cursor size -- we have no exiting code to increase cursor size Simplify - see Simplify - Option 2 mock-up on http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/%28Floe%29+UI+Options+Design+Walkthrough%2C+C.1 - we have the ClimateChange demo work already done - increases text size, increases line spacing and ToC -- we have no code for the collapsible ToC Dictionary - need an open API for a dictionary service. see http://dictionary-api.org/ for possibilities? - picture dictionary would be nice Next Steps ========== Decide which presets we're going to implement in July - discuss this at Thursday noon meeting - meet on Friday at 1pm to finalize this -- Anastasia Cheetham Inclusive Design Research Centre [email protected] Inclusive Design Institute OCAD University _______________________________________________________ fluid-work mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://lists.idrc.ocad.ca/mailman/listinfo/fluid-work
