Contextual Inquiry, literature review, software review, brainstorming, concept generation, scenario generation, needs validation, paper prototyping, Flex, touchscreen

DMD was the eight-month capstone project of my Human-Computer Interaction Master Studies. It is a touchscreen interface for use by dentists. It was designed using a wide range of user-centered methods and showed itself to be several steps above software in use by dentists today.

My roles in the team were:

• Project management: general pacing, assigning tasks, making sure we follow our timeline and schedule, external communications with client and faculty.
• Contributing to background research, user research and paper prototyping (prototype production, conducting the actual sessions).
• Technical implementation of our hi-fi prototype in Adobe Flex and AIR as a standalone installable product, using results from our user research and prototyping, and incorporating graphical UI assets produced by other team members.
