Prototypes

From asking the people around us we discovered that they thought the original prototypes were either too cluttered or didnt show enough information. So in this prototype we improved upon previous iterations so that the screen for the most part would have minimal information but also enough to highlight what needs to be seen.

Every screen will link back to the home menu for an easily traversable app. This is show in a small house icon in the top left. This means that to go from the contact screen immediately to the location screen you need to go to the home screen from the contact menu to then be able to access the location tab. We decided to link all of the different screens this way as it is shown to work well in many mobile apps and is easy to understand while also not cluttering the screen with unnecessary icons to take away from the important information that needs to be shown.

Another prototype is this one here from early in our prototype stage. This was the first prototype i created. From the feedback i received it lead me to discover that this was far too simple and not enough information was available to the user on screen.

In this prototype i incorporated a danger level to translate the severity of the emergency to the user.
