Week 4 C04

Exercise 1:
What are the functional components?
The basic parts of any vehicle are the engine, steering system, pedals, hand brake, foot brake, gear lever etc.
What components are relevant to driving behaviour? 
The driver use the steering system, pedals, hand brake, foot brake, gear lever control the car to move in directions and stop.
What are the interactions of those components with the driver when driving?
Drivers would hold the steering wheel to control directions also step on the pedals and foot brake to control speed and stopping capability. And the gear lever is use for gears.

Exercise 2:
Alarm clock application for your smartphone.
Can set, edit & delete multiple alarms
Can daisy-chain alarms - if one is allowed to ring out, another is activated automatically
Can set different tones for different alarms
Shake phone to snooze

Horizontal Prototype: The purpose of this prototype is to display the layout/look of the product. Therefore paper prototype, wire frame would be a reasonable approach.

Vertical Prototype: The purpose of this prototype is to test the functionality of the product. In order to to be able to test it, implementation of the require functions like set, edit, delete multiple alarms etc are needed.

Diagonal Prototype: this would be the combination of the above two prototypes.
