Building IoT App Prototypes
1 like2,308 views
The document discusses the prototyping of IoT applications, emphasizing the importance of user-centered design to improve functionality and reduce complexity. It presents scenarios for two prototypes, a 'home sitter' and 'home remote,' which leverage voice interaction and sensor technology to enhance user interaction. Key recommendations include testing prototypes with users and focusing on effective communication and technology integration to avoid ineffective solutions.

- 13. Prototypes allow us to... 1) Materialize concepts 2) Explore functionality gathered through User Research 3) Find answers early with User Testing 4) Iterate towards a possible MVP → Quickly, with low cost and low risk Page 13
- 14. Scenario #1 - “Home Sitter” “I will be away for 3 weeks, on a different timezone. I want daily updates of what is going on in my house.” House-sitter agreed to: 1) Feed the dog - Daily 2) Pick up mail - Wednesday and Saturday 3) Let me know if there is a reason we should talk - As needed Page 14

- 18. Scenario #2 - “Home Remote” “I want to monitor the physical environment in my {XYZ} house, to better understand living conditions.” I am using a Zenseio sensor device to: 1) Get home environment measurements 2) Review metrics over time 3) Set up comfort thresholds & get alerts Page 18
- 19. Home Remote - 1st iteration DEMO Page 19
- 20. Home Remote - 2nd iteration DEMO “Alexa, ask Zenseio for temperature data” Me at the office “Alexa, ask Zenseio for {topic} data” “Alexa, ask Zenseio for highest temperature on August 21st” “Alexa, ask Zenseio for week with least amount of out-of-bounds incidents” Page 20
- 21. Conclusions 1) Investigate aspects of communication 2) Investigate technology to incorporate 3) Decide on most important goals 4) Build them from the start into your prototype 5) Test prototypes with actual users → Avoid digital junk Page 22
