“Right in time means before a deadline.
Right on time means at a time previously specified or agreed upon.”
Idea
This app is to help people to be on time for their meetings, appointments or any other personal/social commitments.
What this App will do
- It will calculate the time needed to travel from point A to point B.
The time will be estimated on a commute method chosen by a user
on this particular day (walk, bike, bus, car). - This app will need access to a user calendar/schedule to “see” when and what time the next appointment or meeting is scheduled.
- Other supporting information will be accessed through–local weather network, local transit network, maps and GPS.
- The main information that the user needs to provide at the beginning of a day is her/his method of commuting in current day
(walk, bike, bus, car). - The app will collect all other information and it will send a reminder/message to the user that it is time to leave if the user would like to be on time for her/his next appointment.
- The user can set how early they would like to be informed/reminded to leave for example –10 min before–“Your next appointment is at 5.00 pm. If you would like to be on time you should leave in 10 min”.
Steps
- Using an empathy map helped to precisely describe a persona and create a journey map. Both of these were used to determine particular steps for user flow.
- By using card sorting method I designed a simple and easy to use navigation menu.
- I then interviewed potential user and was able to collect helpful feedback to improve my project.
- After verification of all information, I created user flow and wire frame. After those steps I designed a low-fidelity mockup.
- I used the low-fidelity mockup to process a cognitive walkthrough and heuristic evaluation which were very helpful with correcting some elements such as: names for buttons and eliminating unnecessary “click”.
