3.4 Public Product Evaluation

On Wednesday 26 October, we presented the project at the Hacks/Hackers meetup at the ABC Studios Southbank.

At this presentation, we defined the use context as a social environment such as an airport lounge, where travellers might use the table with groups of people that were otherwise unknown to them. The feedback we obtained from attendees at the event confirmed that this type of use context was appropriate and understandable to people.

We also allowed people to freely interact with the project. The changes we had made to the interactions (tweets only appears when a news item had been selected and other news items disappeared from the view) made it easier for users to work with the interface by making it less cluttered.
