Project idea…

“My final project is an iPhone app based on a mash up

website I am building that provides up to date purchasing information on new movie/DVD releases. It will contain movie and actor information, trailer previews, critic and audience reviews and details on how to buy the DVD. I will then extend this application to provide the same services for new music and book releases as well making it complete for a range of genres.

”

Research element… An important quality attribute of any application

is its usability

I feel traditional usability evaluation methods do not apply to the particularities of touch screen applications and the interactive, physical user

interface they incorporate.

Main Question :

“How to measure and optimise the usability of a

touch screen app?”

Possible Complications..

If the movie structure is weak or doesn’t go to plan will affect the rest of the project

If I spend too long perfecting the movie part that the rest of the project will be a rush

That if I run into a serious complication e.g. in testing, that delays my schedule I may not have time to complete both the music and book sections

I leave enough time to build the portfolio to a high standard as would be a waste to put all that hard work in and then not present it well.
