Pool Cleaning EquipmentEthnographic Analysis and Design
Biolab provides the swimming pool market with a wide variety of pool care
equipment. From smart underwater vacuum cleaners to floating rubber
duckies that distribute chlorine. They approached GTRI with the task of doing
an extensive ethnography on the opening and closing of pools. The data from this
research fed over 25 innovative concepts that were eventually broken down to 7
market ready designs.
From ethnographic analysis through concept development and design this
project covers a full and diverse design process.
12 Pools +
24 hours of Pool CleaningData Analysis
User centered design focuses the design process on the immediate users of the
product. In this case it was home owners, 12 of them across 3 states. In order to
capture everything, from visual frustrations to unspoken product triumps it was
necessary to video tape every second of the pool opening and cleaning process.
Task Architect (shown opposite) was used to keep track of every
tool used,procedure,
question,comment,complaint,
self made tools,design suggestions,
design failures,etc.
This was then used to produce 27 different concepts for review and
redesign.
The following represent two areas of focus, innovative hand tools and seasonal
tool storage.
Chemical and Tool StorageThe ethnography uncovered a very dangerous and inefficient way of pool tool and chemical storage. From cardboard boxes to being left outside throughout the year poisonous chemicals were in the open and tools wore out rapidly. A central storage unit for everything was needed.

MUI & GUI Interface Design Georgia Tech Research Institute
Carbon Motors Corporation approached GTRI with a long list of user needs and
requirements for their new purpose built police vehicle. Of these needs I was in charge of
leading a 3 person design team through the design of a touchscreen navigation system layout in conjunction with the manual user
interface inside the typical police cruiser. Balancing the usefulness of both the GUI and
the MUI while integrating multiple systems into one was the main project objective.
The process involved:
User Experience Research and Analysis
Visual Concept Generation and Brainstorming
Usability Area Mapping
MUI and GUI Importance Hierarchy
Systems Integration
Physical and Digital Design
Prototype Fabrication

MUI and GUI Interface Areas Mapping out the interior
Before we were able to dive into the user testing or interface design we needed to
better understand the logical placement of interfaces in a police vehicle.
Precident research was done on consumer vehicles as well as several different police
department vehicle (layouts are always different) to determine typical placement of
interfaces like radio, siren, laptop, and printer controls. These maps helped the design team determine where to start mocking up interface
controls based on a needs heirarchy.
For example, the most used interface in a police vehicle might be the siren controls.
The frequency of use gives it ergonomic and visual priority over things like air conditioning
controls or iPod jack. This data was then carried over into the human modeling phase
to determine the minimum and maximum areas of the MUI and GUI interfaces.

MUI & GUI Interface Design Georgia Tech Research Institute
In order to make the MUI and GUI system accessible and usable by the majority of
police officers we needed to conduct user reach tests in a full size vehicle. Rather than
inviting hundreds of officers into the lab we used 3D CAESAR models and a 95%
representation of the officers and put them through a simulation. What resulted were a
series of reach zone bubbles.
From big Larry (6’6”) to petite Lucy (5’1”) we tested arm reach based on seat and steering
wheel position. The overlap of these reach zones determined where items should be
places. Extremes zones were avoided.

$200,000 Foam ModelPrototyping the MUI and GUI concepts
What is car design without extremely expensive prototypes?
This prototype was shipped to us with none of the MUI attached or touchscreen interfaces embedded. The reach zone data helped us determine exactly where all MUI and GUI should
be placed. Before carving into this giant piece of foam we laid out color paper models to help us create user scenarios, wireframes, and design templates.
After all dimensions were calculated for the center console touchscreen, instruments cluster, and side screen manual button I began demolishing the model in order to make it a true
working prototype.
(Yes, the first chunk of foam taken out was scary.)

Center Console Interface Concept Generation from User Needs
Based off of the Panasonic Toughbook’s interface design these mock-ups were
created to reflect relevant information while keeping the needed controls within the reach
of the officer. This visual design was eventually translated into a working model that could be
augmented during testing.
The interface’s black background and blue motif was used to reduce in cabin glare. Light
issues did arise from the editable forms but these were usually completed or read when
officer were stopped and not on surveillance night.

MUI & GUI Installed and Test Ready Research + Industrial Design + Programming = Working Prototype
After months of design iterations and back and forth negotiation with the inhouse development team we were finally able to get this working prototype up and running for a multiple precinct
user test schedule.
The durability of this prototype had to withstand officers hitting it with their gun, frustrated button pressing and the occasional knee to the monitor. In order to get it completely ready our
team of destruction experts helped us through a brutal but necessary pilot testing.
These images show exactly what the interior looked like to the police officer that was going through user testing. Lacking the bright lights and a driving simulator outside the front window,
this was the final model.

All Digital Instrument ClusterRelevant driver information
As another changeable screen in the vehicle this instrument cluster would include things like prisoner lock down and firearm secure
icons as well as a driver information center for immediately relevant vehicle information. This
concept was delivered as another item that would tie into the heads-up display and center
console touchscreen in order to deliver real time relevant information to the officer without
having to break their concentration.

Smartphone Toucscreen Button Usability
Georgia Tech Masters Project
After working with ADA atandards for 3 years it came to my attention that there was
a lack of graphic user interface standards for touchscreen interfaces. An initial
search for navigation standards uncovered inconsistentent overlap between companies
and handsets.
The first approach to this project was to determine what basic manual user interfaces
(MUI) and graphic user interfaces (GUI) worked for individuals with low vision. It was
quickly discovered that creating a general understanding and research methodology to find out the best way to create touchscreen
user interfaces for general users was necessary in order to set up further research
into touchscreen usabiliy.
This portfolio briefly explains touchscreen smartphone and precident research as well
as basic design standards compiled from benchmark data, user research, analysis and
basic guidelines.

Precident ResearchChecking out the competition
Without attempting to reinvent the wheel, relevant MUI* and GUI* was analyzed to
better understand the advantages and disadvantages of their design.This research
covered different work environments, user bases, screen technologies and device sizes.
From police laptops to pagers from the late 90’s, a visual SWOT* analysis was done to
determine areas that could be adoped into a better touchscreen user interface system.
This SWOT data was then compiled to form a research base for both user testing and
formation of baseline design guidelines.

User Testing & ResearchShape, Size, Visual Texture and Color
In order to better understand what touchscreen smartphone users gravitate towards regarding graphic user interface
buttons a website was produced in order to replicate different icons on a consistent
platform (iPhone). The objective was to find out how graphic affordances played a role in accessiblity and usability. It was discovered
that rounded square icons present information best because they define button boundaries
(Gestalt) and perceivably allow the user to make an off-center button press mistake.
Blues and greens tend to be blend together causing confusion whereas red and yellow call
the most attention for emergency purposes.

User Testing ResultsMain buttons and grid
The organization of a numerical phone pad turned out to be the best way to organize
basic interface information on a touchscreen smartphone. User research showed that the
ability to form mental models of onscreen information as well as ease of single hand use
was necessary in order to create a easier to use graphic user interface.
The 4 by 3 grid system only allows for 12 icons to be present at once allowing for less
clutter and design overlap. With less icons to choose from, color, content, and image
recognition mistakes will potentially decrease.
Color, contrast, and icon shape also play a major role in usability. Contrast between
icon and background are regularly achieved by current touchscreen smartphones but
attention to color choice and representative graphic icons still need to tested for usability.
User research showed that even the best designed icons fail to be understood by the
end user.
Black on white contrast makes icons ledgible but fails to differentiate between
applications. Usage of color is necessary as a defferentiating element yet cannot be the only
informational aspect of the icons design.

User Testing + Precident Exploration
Integration of MUI and GUI needs
Precident research showed that a good GUI needs to coincide with a usable MUI. Additionally, visual and tactile affordances
quickly became key issues during user testing. These issues beg the question whether smartphone form currently to
matches consumer usability needs.
Users Testing Feedback:
“The phone is slippery and hard to hold in one hand.”
“Activating the buttons is difficult to do with my thumb.”
“I cannot feel which side is up.”
“I keep pressing the on button but nothing happens. (She was pressing the AC jack dead
space.)”
The following images show an exploration into how a phone might ergonomically conform
to the hand while guiding the user to the necessary buttons and onscreen information. The symbiosis of MUI and GUI can eventually
aid in the use of onscreen information.

Touchscreen Design GuidelinesMUI and physical device properties
Physical deviceMake the casing and screen appear durableCreate a non slippery looking bodyCreate tactile references to screen use (double for gripability)
ShapeCreate a more ergonomic shape for touchscreen useProtect the screen by covering it or material choice
FormCreate form to reflect the frequently used applications (ie. game controller)Consider creating a clam shell design (something to protect the screen)
Color Use colors that are consistent with the technology and trends (silver and black connotate high tech)Consider using the body of the device as another contrasting color to onscreen information
Material Use casing materials that are durableAvoid casing materials that can be scratched easily or need coversUse a material that is easily cleanable or that doesn’t need to be cleaned
Touchscreen Design GuidelinesGUI and button development
Interface generalCreate a text to graphic heavy beginner menu interfaceCreate a graphic to minimal text advanced menu interfaceCreate a home screen navigation page that can be memorized and used without looking (3x4 is similar and known from prior objects like phones)
Button sizeCreate buttons / icons that are 44 pixels square or larger for main buttons
Button shapeCreate rounded square buttons if the device holds the same shapeCreate the interface buttons to match the shape of the deviceClearly identified icon to button differentiation
Button colorAvoid using hot colors like red and yellow for non emergency functionsDifferentiate the greens and blues so they can be identifiedDon’t use color as the sole indicator of applicationDon’t overuse blues and greens for iconsAttempt to use a combination of color and visual texture to differentiate similar shades
Button iconCreate a stand alone icon that doesn’t depend on the color for identificationConsider creating an icon with and without the text label
Button navigation and activationConsider a 3 x 4 navigation screen for mental modeling purposesCreate larger visual feedback to button activationMinimize lag time between button press and application launch

Three Wheel WalkerDignified Luxury
Dignified Luxury, is focused on making accessibility products look less medical and more personalized by incorporating
user research into the creation of innovation design. The current project is the Concierge Walker, a 3-wheel rollator.
Current rollator design is composed of tubular aluminum with high gloss paintand
a very bland medical look and feel. It’s current looks still evokes a disabled, needy, and old feeling which doesn’t
always reflect its users condition or state of mind. In order to better accomodate
the end users physical needs while retaining an aesthetic appeal a complete
frame redesign is needed.
The goal:Create a rollator that is
ergonomic, easy-to-use,
and highly mobile.

Consumer Needs / WantsStability & Comfort
Large wheels give the affordance of stable
stance.
Cantilevered frame gives it a lightweight look and feel for ease-of-mobility.
Organic design provides a warmer aesthetic than the medical devices
currently on the market.
Rails, hooks, and open bar area allows user customization.
Three wheel design in order to minimize size, weight and footprint.
Perspective View of Triangled StanceThis stance is the simplest form to spread the wheels out in order to create a cage that the user can walk inside. These are views of how this can be accomplished.
Tricycle and BeyondA tricycles is similar in form and lends a different departure to this structure. These sketches explore how the rollator can be influenced by current transportation like the tricycle, bicycle and push scooter.
Build SketchesThe basic structure of this rollator is key to its overall look. The next step was to explore how is 3D structure could influence its look similar to the sketches. The first step was to build the users “box”. This was the place where all activity would take place, from walking to leaning in place.
Scale ModelsThe rollator needed to touch the ground in 3 places, front wheel and two side wheels. It also must have a weight support system to hold the user up that consisted of arm bars / rests and a connection to the bottom structure. Different iterations were done in order to find the needed human interface points.

Part of background research this benchmarking uncovered a very small and simple market of manufactured tool systems. Through ethnographic research it was discovered that a good amount of repurposing of other storage / carriage devices were used to transport hand tools. The end concepts combined of already manufacured systems with consumer built solutions. It became a sort of mass manufacturable MacGyver gardening solution.

Sectional model exploring the capabilities of a bucket design and tool holding space. It was discovered through user research and that 5 tools at most need to be avail-able for use:
1. Gardening trowel (small shovel)2. Cultivator3. Pruning Sheers4. Hoe / Rake5. Weeding tool (often a screwdriver)
Final PrototypeIn order to accommodate the largest amount of tools while creating secondary and tertiary uses the bucket with internal dividers was chosen as the best design.
This design can:
1. Hold up to 8 tools, a long handled pruner, and a rolled up knee pad.
2. Be used as a bucket separate from the tool holder.
3. Can be turned over and used as a stool.
4. Can be easily cleaned and stored.
Prototype BuildBuilt as a full scale photography ready prototype a MDF and dowel frame was used to support the polystyrene shell and interior. The internal tool caddy (shown on previous page) was laser cut to fit snug in the internal cavity.
The overall design is 15x13x17 (LxWxH).

Industry Comments
Testing ApparatusCable Industry
When a building or commercial space is built miles of electric and data cable need to be run through subterranean channels.
These channels are usually 2 to 3 inch PVC pipe lines with 90 degree turns to make life
wonderful. The cable that is pushed can have a 3inch diameter and the flexibility of tree
branch.
All-in-all, this job can be extremely difficult, tiresome,
and boring.
The job, create an apparatus that tests how much
pressure the cable pusher is exerting on the cable and in the ground opening.
The data gathered helped validate a more efficient cable while informing more ergonomic
ways of pushing a cable through conduit.

ON SITELive Force Testing
Southwire : On Site TestingDownward Cable Force
Over a two week trial we ended up pushing close to 800 feet of cable with our force
measurement device. This measurement device was meant to do two things
measure force despite the differing angles
and
not break.
It measured force perfectly and we made sure to bring epoxy, duct tape, and clamps just
incase it broke.
Southwire : Lab TestingVirtual Hole Force
Ergonomics were key to getting the best push on the cable and through hours of personal
use and ethnographic video research we noticed that there almost every push was
different.
So to find out how to best push this semi flexible cable we designed a virtual hole that
mirrored the on-site height and hole diameter.
This device could be used inside the laboratory or outside in the field and could accommodate both the larger and smaller
diameter cable.

Mrs. Woods only calls or investigates another agent if she needs information that her agents have failed to get. For instance, when her agent cannot get a hold on another agent OR the agent doesn't know the status of a property, she either does a web search for the agent or property. This usually turns up the local multiple listing service which doesn't give extraneous agent information so she is always on the look out for personal agent pages or LinkedIn references.
Her visit to the website is similar to looking for a business card. She needs to know how to find the agent for a phone conversation. Other than that, she does prejudge the agent based on the ease of navigation through the site. As her brokerages web savvy partner, she does know a good simple website when she sees it.

As a new surgeon at Piedmont after doing her residency in local hospitals, Miss Jones feels that it is time to put her money into something more concrete. She searches for agents through friends and like shoes, through the internet. Because she is well educated, dedicated to her work, and has a sense of style when not in a lab coat, she looks agents that she feels she can relate to. Background and experience in investment properties is a must, but personality seems to trump all.
Her visit to the website would come from a web search or friends suggestion. She doesn't like working with real estate agents but does understand their expertise in the field. Incompetence can come both from the wording of the website and visual content, so attention to professional detail is necessary.

As a serial renter and mother of a small family, Mrs. Summers' only need for a real estate agent is when she needs a new place to rent. Since she has been out of the market for the past 8 years she is uninformed of the current rental market practices. In order to overcome this inconvenience and still maintain her position at the Atlanta airport, she needs precise information about her situation, moving forward, and not getting caught up with a foreclosure that isn't hers. She needs professional empathy and understanding to get her into the family's next apartment.
Visiting a real estate website is not a normal activity so ease of navigation and terminology that explains her situation are key. She needs empathy for her situation but truly needs guidance in order to move forward. Since she works long hours she will rely on what she can read versus a conversation. Website literature is similar to contract language to her, if it is written, it must be truth and will hold the website to it.
Atlanta Airport Desk AgentProperty Manager
With over 20 properties yielding over $100K a year, Mr. Dhunta sees money in expanding his portfolio. Keeping with low end rentals he is always looking for a fixer-upper in a decent area where rents are high. Is is extremely specific in what he needs and will not look at properties that fall outside his need criteria.
He sees it unnecessary to have a graphically pleasing website that has no worthy content. If what he is looking for is not there and the site is beautiful he will not follow through with contacting the agent.
He looks for updated property information and descriptions of what is going on in the bank, agent, and city process of properties. Other than those things, he believes he knows everything about the rental real estate market based on his years of experience.
