The document summarizes the design process for an app that maps users' emotions to photos based on geolocation. It describes initial goals of simplicity and insight. Participatory sessions focused on ease of use. The concept evolved to map emotion by geolocation. User testing provided feedback to improve the home screen and explain the emotion/color mapping. The final app allows taking photos, viewing locations on a map, and exploring photos in a gallery. Potential improvements include cloud storage, better gallery integration, and future technologies like augmented reality.

1. By Nadine Denten The Design Journey

3. Include information not explicitly entered by the user (e.g. gps or other information gathered online)

4. Display collected information in a way that is insightful as well as aesthetic, causing the user to form understanding.

7. MockApp (developing & testing the concept further…) “ the model of emotional selection you proposed (the color-wheel) is very functional ” “ there is something very intricate about the connection between emotion and colour… It really enables users to visually understand what their friends are currently feeling and provides a lot more depth ”

8. User Testing (again) FEEDBACK: viewing map is useful, users tried to change emote by clicking face, wording to explain emotion/colour needs improvement IMPROVING THE HOME SCREEN

9. The App (finally) TAKING A PHOTO

10. The App (finally) Additional Calendar Idea: From iPhoto THE GALLERY (FOOTER BAR NAVIGATION)

11. The App (finally) USING THE GEOLOCATION MAP

13. In future: store in ‘the cloud’ & retrieve in app

14. Selection Bar in gallery doesn’t work

16. Automatic knowledge & monitoring of emotion (you could assign colours to particular emotions & they would automatically be recorded

17. Integration with new technologies & devices, potentially making use of things like augmented reality to display emotion
