I am sure most of you know the problem. You're having a lot of fun in a bar, but you want to get a drink. In many cases, this results in queueing up in front of the bar and screaming your order in the bartender's ear. Annoying, and not the kind of experience you are looking for when you are out having fun.
The user interface design course at Tilburg University provided us with the opportunity to change this. Fellow projectmember Rens Dietz came up with the idea to develop an application that makes ordering drinks in a bar a lot easier (and more fun!). What started of with some random ideas that came together on a first projectmeeting, has now become a pretty cool , semi-working application for smartphones. Although I am not sure whether my projectmates and I will ever be granted the opportunity to fully develop it, I wanted to share our work with you.
After interviewing both bartenders and bar visitors we gathered enough insights to decide that the application could really work. That's when the development part started. With a lot of enthusiasm we started brainstorming about functions we could integrate and sketching lay-outs of the interface. This resulted in a low-fi prototype, which was really nothing more than a lot of sketches that we showed to our users. And now we have developed a high-fi prototype. Although with 'we' I really mean Rik Terpelle. Once it is completely finished I might just post it to my blog as well. Also, we are in the progress of developing a video.I'll make sure I share that with you guys later. Until then, fingers crossed for the final user testings!
