Think Alouds

We preformed five different think alouds using our low fidelity prototype. We decided to use the low-fi and not the high-fi in order to get the feedback from the think alouds as early as possible in the prototyping phase. We also felt it would be easier for us to make changes in the layout if we knew of problems before doing our high-fi prototype.

The feedback we got from the think alouds where about the placing of some elements, such as if the button for exiting should be in the left or right corner, and that some buttons needed clarification. But mainly our participants felt that the design we have in mind was very simple and intuitive and it is hard to "make a mistake" when it comes to interacting. This is something we feel very happy about as we use this quote from the book in mind when designing:

 Eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak

We used five KTH students when doing our think aloud, unfortunately we did not have an opportunity to visit a museum to perform the think alouds. A visit might have been ideal for our process but since it simply could not be worked into our schedule we solved it best we could and still believe we got really good feedback.
