This document summarizes the development of a prototype for a mobile food map application called "foodMAP" for Tufts University. It describes user feedback that indicated grad students had limited knowledge of campus food options. The prototype aimed to allow users to search for and filter food options, view routes, and leave reviews. Early testing of the prototype in Keynote gathered feedback, such as needing a search button and showing filters after food selection. The testing provided useful insights despite prototype limitations, and highlighted differences between an automated design perspective versus users preferring more manual control.

Test scenario ¡°You are a grad student at Tufts and a local Burger fan. Today you will be meeting in campus two potential investors for your research project coming directly from Dubai. You are expecting to talk in an informal context, therefore you are searching for the best place for local and delicious burgers.¡± Task 1: Find the best rated burger near campus Task 3: Rate the place you visited Task 2: Explore the ¡°how to get there function¡± Tasks using foodMAP Testers Setting task page ipad laptop

Using feedback Move link to a more notorious spot
Using feedback Filters should appear after the type of food selection Adress a searching box Search food:
Final ideas Since automation is based largely in data storage and retrieval, prototyping in keynote, made impossible to address more reality to the navigation of the map. Early testing is very helpful to assess the design, even due to it?s limited functionality. The view of the system designer about automation is very different from the users perspective, this last one can experience a less degree of freedom if everything is automated. More manual control, increases input functionality over the interface, which can confuse the user.
