Our HCI Project
This Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) project aimed to design a user-friendly frontend for a Linux energy monitor application. The project was executed in
three distinct phases: research, design, and prototyping.
In the research phase, the team collected relevant data through conducting interviews with potential users and creating personas based on their
characteristics, needs, and goals. Additionally, scenarios were developed to represent realistic and representative use cases for the energy monitor app.
In the design phase, a medium-fidelity prototype was created to showcase the proposed frontend design for the Linux energy monitor app. The design process was
informed by the research findings and incorporated principles of usability to ensure that the prototype met the needs and preferences of the target users.
Finally, in the prototyping phase, the team evaluated the medium-fidelity prototype using Nielsen's Heuristics. This
evaluation helped to identify any potential issues and allowed for further refinement and an iteration of the design.
The outcome of this HCI project was a well-designed medium-fidelity prototype that demonstrated the proposed frontend design of the Linux energy monitor
application, ready for further testing and refinement.
