The Project will consist of three parts:
1. Concept Realapp
One of the goals in the project is to create a real working app on an iPhone. This app should support the creative process in teams by adapting the creative technique “visual synectics”
The app will give you randomly pictures and the user should type in three words, which describe the mood of the picture. These words will then be displayed and give an new view on a topic, e.g. what has “summer” to do with our problem, how can summer help to solve the problem?
The app should start with a randomly picture and requires a textIn-field, a “save word”-button, a “new picture” button.
As the app is very basic I will first start with only one word per picture. If this works very fast I will try to add 2 more words. When all the words (in the first version after one, in a second version after three) are typed in, the app skips to a new screen where you can see just the picture and the words you typed in.
As the app is only one part of the project it keeps very simple. In an advanced version you could add a “Save”-function and the possibility to load your own pictures into the app.
I will first develop a paper prototype and after testing it start the developement in X-Code.
2. Concept of a Teamwork App
The main part of the project will be the development of a concept. First there will be 2-3 interviews done with people working in creative industries. Based on this I want to figure out what the needs of an app could be. It should be the perfect app which includes everything. It could be unrealistic, it’s more a collection of ideas. This app should support brainstorming and creative thinking.
Ideas:
Creative Techniques. Brainstorming,
Polls (which using the accelemeter)
Sending results to dropbox and emailaccounts.
Combine iPhone and iApp. iPhone as remote for iPad display
Work together in one room or in different rooms.
Possible Tools in the app
BRAINSTORMING: Paint your letter at the iPad where you want to write and type text with your iPhone.
Others can comment text be clicking it…
iLike Function makes text bigger.
Touch text with your iPhone. Choose between comment or iLike or don’t like
VISUAL SYNECTICS: one basic of the brainstorming. See other app…
PUPLIC POLLS: up to four answers, laying iPhones on/at iPad
ANONYME POLLS: 4 Buttons at iPhone…
SEND: upload brainstorming to dropbox or emailaccount
3. Clickable Dummie
Finally the concept should be realized in a clickable dummie. This will be very basic and just show some the functions of the app. Maybe also just a paper prototype.
