Prototype Outcomes
User testing & Iterative improvements
We conducted a user test with a diverse group of participants. This user test aimed to identify any usability issues and areas where the user experience could be improved.
Fragmented Course Design Tools
-
Issue: Participants reported difficulty in finding the right tools for designing the sports court, as the tool keys were scattered throughout the interface.
-
Solution: We simplified the tool palette and added labels for better tools organisation, making them easier to find and use, thus enhancing the design process's efficiency and user-friendliness.
3D Preview Button Enhancement
-
Issue: Users reported discontent with the 3D preview button's quality, specifically in terms of button clarity.
-
Solution: We improved the 3D preview button's design for better visual clarity, aesthetic appeal, and user interaction, resulting in a more satisfying and user-friendly experience.
Toolbar Background & Contrast Adjustment
-
Issue: Upon examination, we found the toolbar's background and tool colours were too light, causing a low contrast that leads to visual fatigue for users.
-
Solution: To resolve this issue, we carefully adjusted the background colour of the toolbar and the tools, ensuring an optimal contrast value that meets accessibility guidelines. This enhancement not only minimises visual fatigue but also promotes a more comfortable and enjoyable user experience.
