Notes from Matt

Problems
1. Does Shuffle shuffle both modes? If it cycles what order.
Their will be a dominant mode. Music will usually be dominant over pictures who's order rarely needs to be changed and videos less so

2. Does play begin both modes or 1?
Both

3. Does zoom remain constant or reset for each picture
Remain constant

4. If seeking is the system Paused?
Music = Playing
Video = Paused
Pictures= Paused

5. How is the dominant mode shown?
No Idea, Some form of on-screen icon.

6. How doe people sort their media?
Music = Artist, Albums, Singles
Video = Genre, Actors
Pictures = Location, Chronologically, Who, When

New Gestures:
1. Repeat Cycle works around the vertical plane
2. Play /Go = Create a unique gesture to represent the system ie branding / refs whistle still unknown or Go by pointing forward
3. Playlist = Since everyone said that skip was left and right this implies the playlist should be represented in a horizontal fashion., Therefore the gesture decided on was a pulling up action that lifts the playlist from lying down
4. HUD = the same as the Playlist. No Need to have Playlist without the volume and seek
5. Hide = the opposite action from pulling the HUD up was to push it down, this can be used from volume, seek, and the HUD
6. Swap = the word swap implies 2 modes other words were exchange, alternate, cycle. The gestures suggested were folding a corner of the page over, spin a coin around, rotation and Duffman (participant has had previous use of the system ) which represent flipping the page over and turning a page over like a book
7. Go To Playlist creation = Creation of playlist = "Something magical" DaDa (?), Using a Wand Settled on waving (which represent saying hello lets begin, wipe this slate clean or goodbye to the current playlist)
8 The gestures to represent the modes were thus:
8.1 TV -> point a remote
8.2 Video -> Charades Video
8.3 Camera -> Hands holding a camera and pumping down representing the button press
8.4 Music -> Cupping the Ear
NOTE: Because Cupping the Ear is the same as the volume control, their nbeeds to be the gesture for bringing up the Playlist menu, Going to try and find a new gesture for volume or music so I can remove the dependence on an arbitrary action to access the mode/Playlist Menu
8.5 Add = Come Here, Bringing hands towards yourself
8.7 Remove = Go Away, Flicking hands away from yourself

Photo 1. Development of the Playlist Screen with Matt.
The idea is to pull CD/Videos Picture albums out of a draw and onto the floor.



Photo 2. Playlist Screen Development 2 with Matt
Similar to the bottom right of previous, Draws at the top of screen to flick through, Come brings the current selection down screen into the playlist. A Playlist gesture is needed to select the Playlist to remove items, this may be solved by an undo function. The Drawers to the sides at the top sort the media in different fashion depending on the media type. IE. Movies are Actors, Titles, Genres etc... At the bottom right show the available gestures for a beginner user. The Playlist is sorted by the meiea which is added to it.


Photo 3. Beginner User Gesture Icons with Matt
Wanted to do some participatory design with someone. These Icons are based roughly on my original Headphones, camera, video recorder and TV. The icon is superimposed with a representation of the action needed to be performed by the Wiimote.
Ideas directly taken from Matt include the Axis of the video camera, The hands to represent the Wiimote and then the Wiimote to represent the Wiimote, I was using arrows, Matt wants animations.

A set of these icons from each of the other actions needs to be developed and tested.
