Prototyping Goals

Why are we creating prototypes?

The type of feedback that will be most helpful for refining and improving our service or app idea is:

• How open are you to carpooling? / Users' willingness to carpool
• Opinions on the mapping feature, how much data to show? / Improvements to be made to the map
• How many people would you be willing to carpool with? / Users' flexibility
• How far would you be willing to travel out of your way to pick them up? / Drivers' and users' flexibility
• Would you consider being a driver for an app like ours? / Potentiality of drivers

Prototype Features

What service or app features are we prototyping? And why? What do we hope to learn from testing this feature?

• Interactive/live map demo — to improve the clarity/conciseness of app
• Rating of drivers/riders - improve safety/perceived safety and accountability
• Scheduling demo — and how we plan to use this feedback
• Account creation — and how we plan to use this feedback
• General app accessibility — and how we plan to use this feedback

Prototype Media

How will you prototype and share these features with others to get their feedback?

• We plan to create an interactive app that showcases its features and highlights why it is better than our competitors.
• We plan to create a presentation in which to show the app, map, and scheduling features.
