CS 422
Final Exam – Spring 2016
For this exam
you are
going to be designing and discussing an add-on interface to
the door from
Project 2. You do not need to base your work off of your
group’s particular
implementation, though you can, but you should assume that
the door has all of
the capabilities from the project 2 requirements.
The add-on
interface
will be software for a touch-screen smart phone / phablet /
tablet that allows
the user to interact with the door while not at the door.
This interface will
also make use of fabric.js and run in a modern web browser,
so the underlying
graphics capabilities remain the same. You can assume the
device has a camera
facing the user, a microphone, a touch screen, and a typical
WiFi / cell data
connection
A user should
be able
to use this interface while on the couch or in the kitchen
inside the house,
while on the road far from home, or when walking up to the
door. For example
you should be able to do the following things from your
handheld device:
·
See the state of the door
(locked, unlocked, open)
·
Lock and unlock the
door
·
Have an audio/video
conversation with a person at the door (on the inside or
outside of the door)
·
Hear the doorbell ring
·
View and listen to the
inside and outside cameras and microphones at the door
·
Retrieve messages left
on the door and leave new messages on the inside or outside
of the door
·
Find out the last
several times the door was opened
·
and you should add several other
important features
You have a
limit of 6
double-sided pages with a decent sized font for your
submission. You can
certainly use more pages for initial sketches and getting
your ideas organized,
but I will only look at the first 6 double-sided pages (or
12 single-sided
pages) that you turn in.
You should use
these
pages for:
·
storyboards of your design
·
listing and defending
what you believe the most common tasks for this interface
and how that affects
the organization of the user interface
·
how you are supporting
a diversity of users
·
how you are designing
for error prevention and easy recovery from errors
·
how you are giving
effective feedback
·
how you would evaluate this
interface
You can use
your
electronic devices on this assignment and/or pencil/pen and
paper, but no
connections to the outside world or to other people - i.e.
you can use any
media currently on your device but you cannot go out to the
outside world. At
the end of the exam you can go back online to turn in your
work if you need to
email andy (ajohnson@uic.edu) something.
If you do email something,
be sure that andy has received it before you leave. Please
make sure your full
name is clearly identifiable on what you hand in

Final Exam – Spring 2016 - Makeup Final #1
A company is
interested in your door idea, but instead of wanting to use
this technology for
an exterior door, they want to sell them as interior doors,
and in particular
as the bedroom door for someone 10-18 years old, so they
would like to know
what would that version of the door be like. Some of the
user needs will be
similar to project 2 but others will be different, so the
implementation of the
door’s interface will be different.
You have a
limit of 6
double-sided pages with a decent sized font for your
submission. You can
certainly use more pages for initial sketches and getting
your ideas organized,

·
how you are designing
for error prevention and easy recovery from errors
·
how you are giving
effective feedback
·
how you would evaluate
this interface
·
what are the reasons for the
differences in this design compared
to the front door design
You can use
your
electronic devices on this assignment and/or pencil/pen and
paper, but no connections
to the outside world or to other people - i.e. you can use
