User Test

W7 Usability Testing (29/12/2022)

User Findings




Action Plan

Night-blooming Water Lilies 

Floor Projection Mapping 

  • Add animation for the water lilies pad (float up and down)
  • Add depth for the fish
  • Fix the visual of the rock
  • Add ambiance of the firefly, and cricket for the audio

Physical Light Installation

  • Produce flowers with optic fibre lights
  • Fix the bug of flickering of lights 
  • Setup 2-3 flowers with motor
  • Create different sets of flowers that have other light effects

User Acceptance Test (9/2/2023)

User Findings



Action Plan

Night-blooming Water Lilies Floor Projection Mapping

  • Overall good to go

Physical Light Installation

  • Make the light feedback more obvious (dim down the brightness of the LED lights before interaction // change colors that varies with the previous and after light animations)

Evidence 

The users are quite engaging and immersed during the interaction. From the video, we could see that different users react differently to the installation. Some users prefer to interact with peace while other users feel excited when interacting together with their friends.

[Interaction 1] Flower-Blooming Mechanism Development Challenges

Image
I have encountered multiple challenges when developing the structure for the flower-blooming mechanism. It took me one whole month++ to iterate the design and the whole structure for the flower-blooming mechanism to ensure it is doable for future production.  Design Development Output Arm For my initial design for the output arm, it is just a stick. My thought on the structure is by attaching the wires on the petals and wire around the output arm. However, it is not doable enough as it will be very troublesome for future mass production. Thus, I was advised to create a clamp for the output arm to increase the stability of the overall structure. At first, I don't get the idea. I just extruded a triangular shape from the output arm, and it looks horrible and serves no purpose.  I sought help and get some advice from experts on the clamp who specialize in engineering. I also further modified the model on the length and shapes to evaluate the best design for the mechanism. Fo...

Final Prototype: Night-Blooming Flowers Physical Light Installation

Image
Finalized Flower-Blooming Mechanism Design Plan 3D Printed Mechanism The finalized printed blooming mechanism seems stable with self-locking nut. I test-run the mechanism and it works fine at this stage. Blooming Motion without Petals  5 Output Arms 6 Output Arms Blooming Motion with Petals Pulsing LEDs  Pulsing Light Effect 1 Pulsing Light Effect 2 Both light effects have experimented in the early stage. However, further refinement and debugging will be done to match the art direction of the overall project. Core Experience Video The video below demonstrates the core experience of the physical light installation. Current technical production that have been solved are: Connection between Master & Slave Arduino Flower-blooming mechanism [Stepper Motor] LEDs Pulsing Effect Heartbeat Detection Next Plan: 1.  Exploration on fabrications        -Design & Evaluate choices of material and art style 2. 3D print all the compartments (5-8 sets) 3. Set up...
