Evaluation of the design

Setup of the evaluation:

We will show the conceptual design and movie to possible users, and use questioner to know how they like this project. Does it meet users’ need?

• Research questions:

1. Do users understand?
2. Do users like?
3. Will they use it?
4. Do users think it is useful?
5. Is there any problem in the project?
6. Would they like to support this project?

• Methods:

We will show the conceptual design and movie to IO student who have to commute through Delft station every day, and ask the questioner blow:

1. Do you understand?
2. Do you think it is interesting?(1 to 5)
3. Do you think it help them out with the chaos?(1 to 5)
4. Would you try the guiding line?
5. Would you play with the graffiti wall?
6. Would you invite your friend with it?
7. Is there any problem you can think of in this project?
8. Would you support this project? (how)

• How many people did you ask feedback from and what characterizes these people?

10 people

• Summarized results:

People like the whole project, but the guiding line most.

People think it does help with the chaos, but sending the Bluetooth message might be troublesome.

The Problem they think of:

1. What are we going to do with the blind people?
2. When a lot of people get out of the train, how are you going to do with too many people start at the same time.
3. Will it be too expensive? Who are going to support it?
4. How to preserve the LED panel?
5. The commuters might get bored with it.

• Recommendations and suggestions:

1. The guiding light could be something else but arrow at first. Because it looks “construction”. Could be just users name.
2. Because the student of TU Delft would like to support the project. Instead of sponsor, they would like to help with the technical level. So it can be a project build by TU Delft.
3. The project can be extending to the whole city by some interactive posters every place around. It can help travelers and the new residents to find shops, cinema, streets, etc.

•Evaluation of your own project:

We enjoy our project a lot. At first, we come up a lot of crazy ideas, and “Enjoin” come out in the end.

We have thought about making strangers talk with each other while they waiting for bus or train. Because it’s a pleasure meeting people even just 10 minutes. Though the graffiti wall has keeps the idea of drawing with others. Maybe we can extend to communities on the website, and it can combine with the guiding line or graffiti wall.

Blind people should be served as well. Since there is the system connect with cell phones, it can also use audio system to lead them the way.
