Overview Problem and solution Summary of Tasks UI Changes 3 Scenarios Tools and architecture Limitations and tradeoffs
Problem and Solution Existing social networking sites aren’t aware of real world location and activities Radr is a social networking site built mainly for iPhone Use Radr to locate friends, show people where you are, share favorite locations, and learn information about strangers in your proximity
Tasks Locating a friend on a map (easy) To pick them up To deliver something To meet up with each other Finding out information about the people around you (moderate) see if friends are nearby have anything in common with you Customizing visibilities(difficult) Create new layer of visibilities Edit existing visibilities
UI Changes Customers had difficult time identifying where to find visibility settings Changed visibility setting to display the word “visibility” rather than the current visibility status
UI Changes Make the toolbar lager but haven’t implement the tooltip yet Added persistent tool-tips to clarify actions of each visibility tool
UI Changes Where to set visibility?Click “Done” ! Final Product

Tools and Architecture Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Safari, iPod Touch HTML, CSS and JavaScript front-end MySQL and PHP code back-end (no frameworks) Google Maps for interacting with maps PHP GD Library to draw images on the map (hardest part)
Limitations and Tradeoffs Maps are not Draggable (use arrows) Difficult to interact with geographical data (hard code the distance of friends) Screens are smaller than we expected Difficult to track errors with imbedded code or code across multiple files
Summary Make user to easy to locate friends, find out people around him, and edit visibility settings User are able to complete all of the tasks in the prototype Use Wizard of Oz method to simulate some features (GPS, distance, etc.)
