Just found out about this: dead woman's body from 1966 found in her apartment after 42 years!!!

Morning

• Did nothing really, except for read the articles of Craft of Research that we sent in. And hear Tom and Cole decide what we want for the application:
  • Decided on JOGL for graphics implementation (apparently it's similar to OpenGL)
  • The color chooser will be a wheel
• Found that interesting, yet completely, unrelated story. Click on the DailyRecord link at the bottom for the original Scottish report. (also put it up here, in case you didn't notice it)

Afternoon

• Craft of Research was individual (group) and we were asked to think over some questions like:
  • Why are we using the touch table in specific (and not the other hardware like the Stantum)?
• HCI:
  • Prototyping is basically a paper version of the site or application were the user will try to navigate through it as if it were an actual site.
  • Common tools for prototyping are:
    • paper
    • pencil
    • post-it notes
    • color pencils
    • scissors
  • There are two types prototyping:
    • Low-fidelity: has no absolute graphics (like drop down lists)
    • High-fidelity: has a graphics look

Comments here please.

Did you see the paper prototyping video, not from class, but from the wiki. I thought it was really funny that literally do each step.
