9 30/04 B201 12:30 Design and prototype
Prototype first,
Concrete creation of rough prototypes of your FP (using common objects).
Describe users' behavior: scenarios.

Rapid development of standard 2D interfaces. (to finish next lecture)
Out-of-the-box User Interfaces
Problem-solving thecniques to invent better GUIs.
(E. De Bono: Lateral Thinking: Creativity Step by Step.)

Do play a bit with scracth!
Lecture slides

10 5 may B201 8:30 Is it any good? (Evaluation)
Now that we have a prototype: is it a good product?
Methodologies to evaluate, case studies, ...

What if it is not?
Iteration of the activities.
Why User-Centered?
What is interaction, and why it is so central.
Theories, methods and frameworks.
Users and how they collaborate
You have your own understanding of the world, and of the interactive products you use.
So does the user. How to take advantage/be aware of that.
