An app to help young travelers to discover hidden attractions during their trip. Whether this refers to historic tourist destinations or short-term pop-ups events, UnCover will offer recommendations tailored to the user's personal tastes and assist in uncovering the world around you!
During the initial needfinding process of this project, my team of 4 split into two groups and conducted interviews about habits prior to and during a trip. I interviewed a total of 4 people with my partner in one week, including both strangers and personal connections we had. Finally, I consolidated all of the information from our total 6 interviews into empathy maps of what the interviewees said and did during the interviews, and also what my team inferred they felt or thought.
After narrowing down our problem scope to helping young travelers discover new experiences during a trip, we brainstormed and decided on 3 solutions as a group. I then sketched various layouts of our solutions on paper, and designed a full experience prototype for user testing. As a whole group, we then conducted tests using the low-fi paper prototype with strangers in the Palo Alto neighborhood. Finally, I presented our results in class to our Travel studio.
After gathering all of the information from user interviews and from experience testing, I designed a full Figma prototype of all of the screen components and task flows. I also made the med-fi prototype fully functional with animations/transitions on-click between each of the screens. I then gave the entire Figma design to our coders to implement exactly on React Native to create a final high-fi demonstration, which we presented at the class expo on 12/9/2022.
