Project Topic Proposal: Usability Considerations for Repair Manuals
05/01/11 12:08 Filed in: 484
iFixit, a company co-founded by another CSC Alum, has recently provided the infrastructure for a user-generated collection of instructions to repair all kinds of devices. There is an API to access the information about repairs. There are several opportunities for projects related to this:
- evaluation of their current design (generic Web page, iFixit iPad app)
- design and development of new interfaces, possibly on other platforms or devices
- consideration of usage in situation with limited interaction options (e.g. voice-based interaction to have the hands free for the repair)
