A podwalk is a mobile application that enables users to listen to audio recordings in which segments link to places.
For this assignment I had to work in a trio. We had to make a podwalk app based on a location where we live nearby, so we chose Hoorn. We thought Hoorn was a beautiful city with a rich history that we could tell a lot about in our podwalk.
Role
UX research
UX/UI design
Prototyping
Assignment
Create a podwalk for a specific cultural point of interest.
Challenge
Visualizing storytelling through an app based on context and experience.
Requirements
It should be a future-proof solution to create an interesting walking tour using storytelling around and/or leading to a cultural point of interest.
The solution should at least consist of several touchpoints for individuals as part of the experience of the walking tour.
People can also learn about culture and the point of interest.
The aim is to develop a multi-sensory set of artefacts with an underlying system in which you take into account the surroundings atmosphere, the user’s goals per artefact, the context of use and the different senses to create a pleasurable (and maybe as inclusive as meaningful) experience.
Design Rationale
For the whole proces I'll advise you to take a look in our Design Rationale. *There's a link to the prototype video in the design rationale. It will take a few seconds to load the document.
Prototype video
I've prototyped the screens in Figma. Take a look at the video to view more about the protype.
