Human-Computer Interaction Project

Human-Computer Interaction  Project
The below is a group project that was carried out as part of a Human-Computer Interaction module during my degree. I was tasked with creating and prototyping an app for the following brief:


"A game to break the ice in flatshares & house shares. Moving into a new shared accommodation can result in tensions, awkwardness or totally new experiences.

Design a digitally enhanced game that can be played by flat/house members to inject a bit of fun into the situation. The game might involve housemates competing against each other or working together against another household. There should be some form of challenge involved, this could be defined by the game or housemates could set challenges for other players. Think about how living together might be improved through technology, in particular through following a game-based approach.

The key takeaways from this project brief include the project must be a gamified approach to helping new people get to know each other better. The game should involve the players competing and interacting with each other, and the game should improve the living standards of the players of the game"​​​​​​​
