OMNI (Omniscient Music Navigating Interface) Prototype Design
Overview
UCSD course ICAM 101 - Digital Imaging and Interactivity is a 10-week course focusing on user interaction where students work in groups to conceive, prototype, and test a prototype idea.
The Idea
The OMNI, Omniscient Music Navigating Interface, is a powerful music device that blurs the line between background and foreground music. OMNI allows any individual to associate, at a personal level, music with physical space. This creates a dynamic and interactive world with music as its central theme.
The Process
1.) Coming up with an idea
2.) Drafting a proposal including: problem, users, goals, solutions, and research
3.) Further developing task and user analysis
4.) Observations
5.) Draft Menu Tree aka Information Architecture
6.) Design sketches
7.) Low fidelity - Paper prototyping
8.) High fidelity - Flash prototyping
9.) Paper prototype presentation and report
