GETit is an application for mediating and visualizing the total level of understanding from the audience to the lecturer during lectures. Each member of the audience connects to URL through their mobile device, where they can toggle their status between "understanding" and "not understanding" This overall feedback is being visualized as a 2d graph for the lecturer, so that they can adjust their lecture's flow accordingly.
Below there is short demo video representing the lecturer's graph view (on the background) and the audience's mobile devices (the small browser window on the foreground).
Some technical challenges faced during the project
Challenge: An interesting UI/UX Challenge faced in this project was a classic risk of misinterpretation of the 'switch' toggle button's states.
Solution: We wanted to maintain the switch as our toggling UI element, rather than a form-like checkbox/radio button, because of its semantic "live on/off" content. In order to eliminate the user's frustration on weather the switch's label refers to its current state or to it's "after-toggle" state, we added the following instruction: "If you don't understand, turn the switch to the right. If you understand, turn the switch to the left."
This instruction, along with the "alert" red colour of the "not understanding" state leaves very little room for misinterpretations.
