quickie UX reflections using these evaluation criteria

  • intuitiveness: very, follows common pattern, up = on, down = off
  • efficiency
  • ergonomics & comfort: on/off is good. Adjusting intensity buttons are small, button feedback is vague, on the wrong side?
  • accessibility: good for on/off. Difficult for intensity.
  • affordance & signifiers: on/off & intesnsity work. 3rd control remains a mystery.
  • aesthetics: meh. simple. functional. materials feel cheap.
  • responsiveness & feedback: very nice for intensity feedback. All good except in intensity button feel

Deliverables:

Your project should be presented as a web page in the form of a case study you can use in your portfolio. Keep it concise and digestible for potential clients / stage hosts / employers.
