ISO standard

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) stands for the structured and technical written documents and  representatives from various national organizations to maintain equal minimum standard to meet requirement. Founded on 23 February 1947, ISO promotes worldwide proprietary, industrial and commercial standards.The head quarter is located in Geneva, Switzerland and works in 162 countries. [1]
While we are working on future classroom concept we need to visualize the present and future standard ability issues. It creates:
  • Context of use.
  • Usage requirement.
  • Designing and evaluating solution and its requirement.
We have found that the following ISO standard could be usable according to our project:

ISO 5970:1979: This standard represents Furniture Chairs and tables for educational institutions Functional sizes.It ensures that the furniture permits good sitting postures. The seven sizes for seating and related tables based on a reference stature are given and we are going to utilize this standard for positioning the human back while sitting in our project.

ISO 9241: is a multipart standard from the ISO covering ergonomics of human-computer interaction part. this part is managed by the ISO Technical Committee 159.The  original name was titled Ergonomic requirements for office work with visual display terminals (VDTs). From 2006, the standards were changed to the more generic Ergonomics of Human System Interaction.And we decided to maintain this standard for the visual display we are going to use in our project.  
ISO 9241-20: This part of ISO 9241 is intended for use by those responsible for planning, designing, developing, acquiring, and evaluating information/communication technology (ICT) equipment and services. this standard  provides  an insight for improving the accessibility of ICT equipment and services such that they will have wider accessibility for use at work, in the home, and in mobile and public environments. It covers matters related with the design of equipment and services for people with a wide range of sensory, physical and cognitive abilities, including those who are temporarily disabled, and elderly and thus it ensures our smart chair to be working as it should.
ISO 9241-302: This is the definitions of flat-panel display pixel defects provided in the ISO-9241-3xx series of standards (which renders obsolete ISO 13406-2). These identify three classes for measuring pixel defects in flat panel displays.

Proof of Concept

Image
Above you could see our presentation about the proof of concept and MVP testing. Testing was done to achieve proof that our idea would be supported by user and it would fix the problem we chose. As explained the MVP test was done with the storyboard comic and open discussion about the idea. We asked few opening question for the conversation to start like "What do you think about?". People we interview were all very open minded and very talkative so it was easy kept feedback. We showed the comic to the 4 students (university, vocational school) and to 2 adult students (Adult education center). They were from age 21 to 32, 4 women and 2 men.

Prototype building

Image
Building of the prototype took place in TUT language center were we captured one big table for ourselves and spread all our things. We started with taking measures of our test persons (the dolls) and fixed the part drawings to match this size. After this we decided that everybody should do one proto and after finishing we could choose which one is the best for user evaluation. So, we went to work by using milk cardboard and different size of packets, glue, tape, wire, scissors and box cutter. Everyone took a different route combining the parts for the chair (parts represented in last blog post). It was fun and we discussed on the way if someone had hard to add next part in their design. The hardest thing to do was the turning from the chair to the treadmill. We had a lot of discussion and ended up with three different ways for the idea. When all was finished we compared the designs. We were happy with all but chose one to be our main prototype that could be used in...

Ideation

Image
Workshop started with solo ideation. Brainstorming solo brought us seven ideas. After the solo thinking we changed papers and tried to come up ideas based on team mate’s ideas. With this we came up with five ideas. After these parts we looked through all the ideas this was and counted there to be twelve of them. We then added them on board with pots-it notes. Next round of our ideation was reversed brainstorming. Which meant that we had to come up with the most crazy or bad idea we could think of. With this we got seven ideas you can see in the picture. So now we had total of 19 ideas to evaluate. We choose three criteria to find what could be the most useful ideas for us. Our criteria were: Desirability Well-being Useful After voting from our ideas we had three best ideas to go with: Wide display Good: Better flexibility, you don’t have to be in the specific place to addend the lecture. Change environment of the classroom. Better visibility Bad: Lack of concentr...
