Details

Our company advertises thousands of products online. However, we currently rely on slow modes of communication with our customers. Users have requested the functionality to contact sellers directly via a real-time chat function.

We would like to work with students to research and design a general chat interface.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

  • Conducting background research on the session platform
  • Research and define how we can implement the session platform within the platform
  • Producing a wireframe or mock-up of the resulting system’s user interface.
  • Testing the design with users and making improvements.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

  • Prototyping multiple possible chat function designs.
Deliverables

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

  • Solid knowledge of decentralized communication
  • knowledge of the chat service "session" can be downloaded from google play
  • Understanding of our company and customers
  • Provide a research portfolio that defines the viability of session within our project
  • Design of a chat function wireframe or mockup
  • Refinement of the design through testing results

Bonus steps would include:

  • Providing multiple wireframes or mockups for different designs

Final deliverables should include

  • A final report.
  • A presentation.
