Week10:  mvp （Minimum Viable Product）

With MVP product can save the preliminary expenditure budget, is a necessary process, with the lowest value to understand the user needs, according to the feedback continue to adjust and optimise the product, gradually improve the function and experience, rather than a one-time investment of large amounts of money to develop a complete product, also not with their own subjective to judge the user's needs, this method not only reduces the risk of the early stage, but also improve the product's ultimate success! probability

TIMELINE FOR PROJECT

Week11&12：Developing a prototype

This time I am making a prototype of Yudao Dictionary, I need to use figma to design it, in the design process, I firstly check the related instructional video on bilibili, and then combined with MR. zeon's instruction on the week11 course, I have made a simple design.

Figma Youdao prototype 1

I chose the iPhone 16 Pro Max as my model. I added its navigation bar and information bar, and then started incorporating various shapes.

Figma Youdao prototype 2

In my design, I needed to create a low-fidelity prototype of a dictionary model.

I created several images myself and added them to the frame to make the page less monotonous.

For other icons, I used Google Symbols for insertion.

On the app's initial screen, I created the login interface, the forgot password interface, and the new user registration interface, all designed to make it easier for users to understand and navigate.

On the main page, I added three main options: Home, Camera, and Account. For the Home page, I only included a search bar. On the Camera page, I incorporated an image recognition translation feature. In the Account section, users can choose to log out and provide feedback. The remaining tasks involve creating the search interface and displaying the search results.

I also added small cards on the initial screen to highlight the unique features of the app.

To avoid a single-functionality design, I also added a "Wordbook" feature, allowing users to save their favourite words for easy review later.

I also incorporated a journal reading feature, which allows users to improve their English language sense and reading skills while using the app.

For the remaining features, I created the feedback function, the course purchasing feature, and the AI sentence correction feature.

Typer here to view my prototype

Based on the feedback from the volunteers, I will make necessary adjustments to improve the user experience and interface. Once the high-fidelity prototype is ready, I will focus on refining the details, such as colours, typography, and interactions, to ensure the final design is polished and user-friendly. Additionally, I will test the high-fidelity model with a larger group of users to gather more insights before finalizing the design.
