PERSONA
User 1: Student
Naim
is 23 years old and is a student majoring his third year in the Science
Computer field in a local university. He likes to try new gadgets and other
technologies as it is one of his hobbies. Some of the technologies can also
assist him and his friends in their works and assignments.
Naim
has heard of the new iSmart product and it piqued his interest a lot. He
thought to himself that with the functionalities of the glasses, it might give
ease and flexibility to some of his daily activities, and also to him
completing assignments. Even though the price is quite much for a student to
acquire the item, he is willing to test the product out of his great interest.
After
a few months of usage, Naim has realized that his everyday life has been quite
fun and after he’s used to iSmart functions, he’s able to do works and chores a
lot faster using the product. The music player features of the glasses, which
is one of the functions that he is really interested in, also makes it a great replacement of other gadgets,
as he does not need to keep wearing it off and on whenever he wants to listen
to songs.
Naim
has decided that he wants to keep using the product as a result of his user
experience with it. He’s also a lot more comfortable using the glasses for various
activities already than using his phones and other technologies like before. He
might also recommend his buddies to try out the product as well, if they have
not already.

SCENARIO
Naim likes to do his projects and
assignments, or some other activities while listening to songs. They can help
him focus a lot more. Plus, listening to them makes the works more fun all the
way, as he claims. Naim usually wears an earphone that he connects to his
phone, and he listens to his favorite list. After a few hours, his ears start
to hurt a little since he plugged the earpieces into his ears, so he has to
take a little break from it. Even when he goes for a jog or exercising outdoor,
he prefers to listen to music as well. But with how the earphone wires keep
dangling around, he feels a little bit uncomfortable. After obtaining the
glasses, he faces no such problems any more. Naim can listen to music for
however long that he wants to, and since there is no more wires, exercising has
never been more enjoyable for him.

2(b). Discussion on findings from task
navigation
For the task, we identify that users can interact well
with iSmart. The iSmart sync perfectly with any navigation and routing apps.
The function is still same as in phone, which display the position on a map, and it offers
directions through voice and animation.
However,
we are aware that iSmart’s visual navigation can only see a map view in a fixed
position that means it cannot zoom in and out. This can surely irritate some
users who sometimes missed an important road point in front and who are curious
which alternative route that lead them to their destination.
2(c). Requirement Specification for navigation
Non-Functional
requirement: Zoom in and zoom out in map view.
Description:
Users can zoom in and zoom out of map view from 1km until 5km. They
can change the view by
tapping up/down button.
Justification:
Users can figure out the direction for miles in front of them.

3(b). Discussion on findings from task notification
(text messages, call)
For this task, users are amazed by the features of
iSmart text messaging. It can be linked to today's messaging app such as message,
WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage and Viber. iSmart users can receive messages from
different apps and place them in one place.
However, for calls, we got a bad response. We
were often asked whether the call feature can make calls. In fact, we agreed
with this matter. iSmart current call feature only receives calls from the
callers and call log to see caller’s duration and frequency. We see this as an
inadequacy for such an important feature in iSmart.
3(c). Requirement Specification for
navigation
Functional
requirement: Call function in call.
Description:
Users can make calls based on users’ contact list
Justification:
In addition to receiving calls, users can also make calls without having to
remove
their phone from their
pocket.
