Case study: Redesigning a customer-side app for an ISP

Tags: User Interface, Shatel, User Experience, User Research, Case Study

The challenge

Shatel Group hired me to redesign its customer side application and ensure consistency across all of their products.

Research

Because Shatel has many departments, I began by gathering information from different parts of the organization. Throughout the company, I set up meetings with designers and front-end developers to familiarize myself with their processes and to discover their source of truth, if any.

A competitor analysis was done using data in the marketing department to gain a deeper understanding of our competitors.

Consequently, I began meeting with stakeholders and involving them in the process as a means of understanding the company’s vision and priorities.

I then conducted user interviews and focus groups to get a better understanding of the users’ problems and needs. Following my observations, I developed personas.

Takeaways:

Each team has its own components library and style

Isolated departments lack the ability to share ideas

Stakeholders were excluded from the design process, so the vision is unclear to the design teams

The current product doesn’t satisfy users, but users still use the service because it is faster than other options

To be able to measure our changes in the future, I created some events and metrics in Google Analytics.

It was possible to create a prioritized feature list after presenting data from Competitor Analysis and other studies to stakeholders.

Ideation

As a final step, I used Red Route to prioritize features based on business needs and user feedback.

Prototype

I started off by doing a paper wireframe and tested several versions of a digital version, but they were low fidelity. After applying the feedback, I created a second version and started working on the user interface.

There were three studies used. First, a concept validation study, then a potential sales study, then an MVP study. By conducting these different studies, we tried to determine how effective, marketable, and usable they were.

Design Exploration

Following a discussion with the business team and taking into consideration the users’ needs, we decided to launch the 1st version only providing Internet management, notifications, and support.

Following a few changes in the flow, I began the UI design…

I’ve just finished the UX/UI specialization by CalArts (for free!)

Coursera

I am sure some people clicked just because of the “free” in my title. If you are interested in more information about that, just scroll to the end!

Nowadays there are just too many UX/UI online courses, and I don’t need to say that, with so many to choose from, what drew me to this one in particular was that I could do it free of charge (more on that later).

Perhaps, you too are wondering whether you should take your time and money (or not) to enroll. So here is a little review for you to know what to expect from this specialization.

The UX/UI Specialization by CalArts has 4 courses:

Visual Elements of User Interface Design UX Design Fundamentals Web Design: Strategy and Information Architecture Web Design: Wireframes to Prototypes

You get a certificate each time you finish one of them, and a final one once you finish them all. Also, if you are interested in only one of them, you can take it individually, without enrolling on the full program.

The courses are great for beginners and demand no previous knowledge. You have a few projects do develop and everything is peer-graded (which means you will also be reviewing other people’s work).

What do these courses teach, after all?

1. Visual Elements of User Interface Design

“The aesthetics must be unique, to generate interest, but the functionality should be familiar.” — Prof. Michael Worthington

This course focuses on the principles of UI design. It is very instructive, and the explanations are easy to follow. Professor Michael Worthington, who teaches the first two courses, covers all the basics in a beginner-friendly way, so even the most unprepared of the students will be able to follow up.

You will learn:

how interfaces are built, taking in consideration the context, content and audience that will be using them;

the elements that make up an interface;

visual patterns we normally find on apps and websites;

how to take advantage of elements users are used to and the expectations they have when interacting with an interface.

The final project is a static interface for a simple app. You will hand in:

brief description of your app (there are a few restrictions to what you can develop)

moodboard

simplified style guide with buttons, icons and other elements

final static interface

Case study: Redesigning a landing page of a website

Can redesigning a landing page of a website shake up the business prospectus of a doomed industry. Let’s check it out.

Air India is the flagship carrier airline of India and is owned by Air India Ltd. It began its operations in 1932. Presently, it is the third largest airline in India in terms of domestic market share. It mainly operates a fleet of Airbuses and Boeing aircrafts serving various domestic and international airports. It is headquartered in the Indian Airlines house at New Delhi. Air India has two major domestic hubs at Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi, and Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Mumbai, and secondary hubs at Chennai International Airport and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, Kolkata. It operates one of the youngest fleets in the world and regular upgrades ensure that they provide a superior flight experience to its customers.

Its rich history

Air India, the premier flight carrier of India is one of the most extensive flight service providers in India.

The first service inaugurated in 1932 by J. R. D. Tata flew from Karachi to Mumbai via Ahmedabad.

Initially, Air India was established as Tata airlines but post World War II, they renamed it Air India.

In 1962 Air India became the first airline in the world to own a fleet of exclusively jet aircraft setting the benchmark for innovation and quality service.

In 1990 Air India in association with the Indian Airforce created a world record by evacuating 1,11,000 people from Oman in Jordan to Mumbai in 59 days just before the Gulf war broke out in the middle east. This was the largest evacuation effort by a single civilian airline.

Roberts expects measures to restrict in-game video use as early as this year
By: Rowan Kavner
Tags: Notebook, Dodgers, Video, MLB, Spring Training

by Rowan Kavner

Manager Dave Roberts expects further measures will be taken soon by Major League Baseball to ensure what occurred in 2017 in Houston won’t happen again.

Roberts said that while he’s not clear exactly on specifics, his guess is that in-game access to video by teams could be eliminated as early as this season. He also said he would consider that a positive. In that scenario, video could still be used as a tool after games for education or player development.

“We’ve been put, as an industry, to take a kind of hardline stance on this,” Roberts said. “I think there’s certainly players that oppose this who do it the right way and use video in-game solely for the benefit of kind of gathering information for the game the right way. That’s going to affect how they prepare and go about at-bat to at-bat, pitcher looking at things — we’ll have to adjust. But if you’re talking about overall, it is in the best interest of the game.”

Roberts’ belief builds on comments made by Commissioner Rob Manfred during Tuesday’s Media Day in Arizona.

Manfred said preventative measures were taken in 2018 to deal with issues of sign-stealing, including monitors in video rooms, monitored conversations taking place via dugout phones and regulations with cameras. He said those measures were effective, but conversations with the Major League Baseball Players Association would ideally take those measures further.

“My hope here is that we need to drastically restrict in-game access by playing personnel to video,” Manfred said. “It just has caused a lot of problems, and I think really, across the board, restriction on that video will help send the kind of message to our fans — that’s really important for this institution right now — that we’re serious about cleaning this up.”

Roberts said that kind of elimination of in-game video usage and ability to adjust in-game could result in players — particularly younger players — not feeling fully as prepared as past seasons.

But by closing off access, Roberts said he believes MLB can successfully regulate any further changes made.

“There were careers lost, families affected,” Roberts said. “Once there’s a clear line in the sand about what we can and can’t do, I think that guys will follow the rules. I like to think so.”

Press Play to Learn: 17+ Videos to Help You Understand Computational Thinking
By: Tech-Based Teaching Editor
Tags: Videos, Learning, Education, K 12 Education, Computational Thinking

Computational thinking is, ultimately, a way to solve problems. It’s inquiry à la computer, if not by computer. Using techniques such as decomposition and abstraction, you can break problems down into smaller parts, analyze possible bottlenecks and figure out solutions.

If you’re a teacher, showing students how to use computational thinking can help them improve their problem-solving abilities. Computational thinking likens to the 21st-century skills that students are supposed to learn in order to thrive in an increasingly technology-focused world.

But while that’s all well and good, what does “computational thinking” actually mean?

There are plenty of written guides online, from Jeannette Wing’s writings to bite-size explainers. For something more engaging, however, videos can provide a fun way to learn.

Between TED Talks and YouTube, there’s no lack of videos. Videos are not only interesting, but they’re also easily shared through learning management systems. This makes them well suited to online learning environments.

Below you’ll find videos ranging from introductory computational thinking talks to in-depth looks at computational thinking concepts.
Shooting the video
By: Solène Anger
Tags: Denounce, Videos, Feminism, Campaign, Street Harassment

We met a few days before the shooting to discuss the message we wanted to convey and how.

We wanted to find a way to report harassment but in a new way. We didn’t want shocking images, but simply to show a woman’s daily life when she walks the streets.

So we chose to make two videos.

In the first one, we see Laurie choosing her clothes, but after being bothered in the street, she decides to go home to put on some pants. This video is only visual, there are no words and no subtitles. She is not really abused, what happens to her is not considered serious, but she prefers to change her clothes. The aim was therefore to show that all these little things, considered unimportant, make women think about their clothes, simply to be able to walk quietly.

In the second video, I am seen walking down the street, from behind. Sentences, remarks, insults appear… Nothing is happening, I’m just walking. This time, there is not much visual information, we focus only on words. We wanted to show the contrast between the words we hear and the action we take: just walking.

All the sentences we chose, we really heard them ourselves in the street, while we were just walking.

Before the shooting, we contacted the actors we would need, i.e. three men, then we made an appointment a few days later and specified that the two girls should be dressed short, with shorts or skirts for exemple.

We started by shooting the indoor scenes, the ones where Laurie first chose her clothes (a top and a skirt) and finally changed (she puts on pants at the end of the video. So we were careful to take the same angle for the scene where she dresses and the one where she changes clothes.

We then shot the videos in the street with the help of three boys: Paulo, Adrian and Mathis. For each harassment scene we made two different angles: that of Laurie and that of the harasser.

It was difficult because there was a lot of traffic and “continuity error” were therefore difficult to avoid. The shooting of this video lasted about an hour.

We then shot the video in which I walk from behind, which was easier to make. It was simply a long take, Tessa filmed me non-stop from Kypseli to Victoria Square by zooming in on parts of my body.

We ended up in Victoria Square to film the scene where Tessa and Rinata watch Laurie pass by laughing at her. Then finally, we finished with the front videos of Laurie and myself.

What we noticed during this shooting was that it was particularly revealing of street harassment. Indeed, for all the scenes in which we walk in the street, people have turned around, made lewd looks or even comments. We were shocked because the street harassment we were trying to demonstrate was directly revealed to us and the worst thing was the fact that we were not surprised.

Create light trail effect by python
Tags: Opencv, Video, Python, Photoshop, Echo

How to create this effects?

If I have no experience of python programming, I will use AE’s echo feature, which will show limited numbers of previous frames, as below video(AE 2020 can set max 10 previous frames):

With some basic python library, this effect is very easy to implement.

First, we need a library to read each frame of the video. I use opencv for this article, it can support most of famous video format(H264), and contains useful API to manipulate frame:

OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is an open source computer vision and machine learning software library. OpenCV was built to provide a common infrastructure for computer vision applications and to accelerate the use of machine perception in the commercial products. — https://opencv.org/about/

import cv2

import sys

import numpy as np cap = cv2.VideoCapture(infile)

fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc('H', '2', '6', '4')

vw = cv2.VideoWriter(outfile, fourcc, fps, size)

tmp = None while cap.isOpened():

ret,frame = cap.read()

Then, do the “accumulate” work to imitate camera exposure. Create a stepped frame, each pixel is the lightest part of previous. In the PS world, it called lighten. In the opencv, you can use max() function, and write each new frame into output video:

tmp = np.maximum(tmp, frame)

vw.write(tmp)

Finally, release video reader & writer, data will auto sync to disk:

cap.release()

vw.release()

Final thoughts

Doing PS “lighten” operation is just a tiny function of opencv library. We can see lots of new apps and website using it for face beauty and picture auto post processing. Maybe we can just write another photoshop by python and opencv.
How to Convert a Video File to MP4 in C/C++

How to Convert a Video File to MP4 in C/C++ Cloudmersive Jun 8·2 min read

If you need to convert a video file to the video-editing favorite MP4 format, this tutorial will offer a simple solution to fit your needs. Utilizing the following API in C/C++, you will be able to automatically transform a wide array of video file formats to MP4. This simple process uses 1 API call per 10 MB of file size and 1 API call per additional minute of processing time over 5 minutes, up to a maximum of 25 minutes.

Now to perform the operation, we will first install libcurl:

libcurl/7.75.0

Then, we can call the conversion function with the following code:



CURLcode res;

curl = curl_easy_init();

if(curl) {

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL, "https");

struct curl_slist *headers = NULL;

headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "fileUrl: <string>");

headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "maxWidth: <integer>");

headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "maxHeight: <integer>");

headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "preserveAspectRatio: <boolean>");

headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "frameRate: <integer>");

headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "quality: <integer>");

headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Content-Type: multipart/form-data");

headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Apikey: YOUR-API-KEY-HERE");

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, headers);

curl_mime *mime;

curl_mimepart *part;

mime = curl_mime_init(curl);

part = curl_mime_addpart(mime);

curl_mime_name(part, "inputFile");

curl_mime_filedata(part, "/path/to/file");

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MIMEPOST, mime);

res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

curl_mime_free(mime);

}

curl_easy_cleanup(curl); CURL *curl;CURLcode res;curl = curl_easy_init();if(curl) {curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, " https://api.cloudmersive.com/video/convert/to/mp4 ");curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL, "https");struct curl_slist *headers = NULL;headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "fileUrl: ");headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "maxWidth: ");headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "maxHeight: ");headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "preserveAspectRatio: ");headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "frameRate: ");headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "quality: ");headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Content-Type: multipart/form-data");headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Apikey: YOUR-API-KEY-HERE");curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, headers);curl_mime *mime;curl_mimepart *part;mime = curl_mime_init(curl);part = curl_mime_addpart(mime);curl_mime_name(part, "inputFile");curl_mime_filedata(part, "/path/to/file");curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MIMEPOST, mime);res = curl_easy_perform(curl);curl_mime_free(mime);curl_easy_cleanup(curl);

Police Body Cam footage capturing Derek Chauvin after the murder of George Floyd

The jury obviously got it right. Derek Chauvin is a murderer. Anyone who watched any of the videos from any angle, knows it. But at the end of this trial I’m left wondering what would have happened if there was no video recording of the murder as it happened ? In this case, without the preponderance of video evidence, I believe the police’s fictitious story most likely would have prevailed as the official narrative. Derek Chauvin would likely be a free man today.

While most of us, and especially those in the African-American community, are extremely relieved that Chauvin will be held accountable for his crime, the question I’m wondering is how many murderous or criminally violent cops walk free every year because their crimes are NOT caught on video ? In a visual culture in which we are taught to believe that things not caught on video are somehow less real, I wonder why 21st century jurors are still having to decide cases involving police officers based on witness testimony alone.

The clear lesson for me from the George Floyd case is that we need body cameras on every police officer in the United States.

The data supporting this is clear. In a test run by the Mesa (Arizona) Police Department, eight months after deployment, there were nearly 3x more complaints against officers without cameras, 40 percent fewer total complaints for officers with cameras, and 75 percent fewer use of force complaints for officers with cameras.

Yet most police officers in the United States still do not wear body cameras in the field.

With video technology and storage costs as cheap as they are, this strikes me as absurd.

I believe that every police/citizen interaction should be recorded on video with the video immediately uploaded and available on a publicly owned database. The video should immediately become a publicly owned asset. In the event that an investigation becomes necessary, the video could be downloaded by investigators or lawyers. In the event of a trial by jury, we the people have the best evidence available at our fingertips.

This way there could be no possibility of police manipulation.

This would also protect police officers who could potentially be falsely accused of crimes they did not in fact commit.

We need a federal law mandating body cameras on every police officer in the United States.

Folks have wondered “How can you travel from city to city while you have to work? Are you on some kind of sabbatical?”

Hardly. I am the CEO of Gather Voices, a startup software company, which means I need to work all the time. All. The. Time. I’m just able to do that from anywhere and that’s what I want to tell you about.

Gather Voices was founded in Chicago and the intent was to build a company based in Chicago, with office space and people coming in and all the traditional company stuff. Then COVID happened.

We had to make due from home, and all of the sudden our events were canceled and we were connecting with teammates, partners and clients over Zoom. And, for the most part, it worked really well.

Like many folks during this time, we realized that people loved the flexibility and so we officially became a remote-first company. You can accomplish so much when you lose 2 hours of commuting. And people have desires around travel and want to be more with their kids and have the kind of flexibility it takes to integrate work and life.

We are making a strong effort to get the team together quarterly, for super fun events and bonding and some work. But day to day, we believe in hiring grownups who can manage their own time and figure out how where they want to be.

New Ways to Preflight Your Destination

By Susan K. Parson, FAA Safety Briefing Editor

We didn’t have to use stone tablets and chisels when I was first learning to fly in the late 1990s, nor did I have to use hamster wheels or, worse, bicycle-style pedaling for propulsion. Even so, I sometimes feel like a fossil when I think about tools and techniques that now seem so quaint — even downright primitive. At the cross-country stage of training, for example, part of the drill was to get the flight school’s dog-eared copy of the Airport/Facility Directory (now called the Chart Supplement) and look up the airport(s) to be visited on a dual or solo cross-country flight. Step two was to use paper and pencil to create a kneeboard-sized sketch of the runway configuration, using the edges to note things like frequencies and FBO information. Instructors also expected us to depict any obstacles on the approach path. I specifically remember that part because I had an ongoing informal competition with a fellow student whose hand-hacked airport diagrams were miniature works of art.

The work involved in creating these DIY airport sketches did have its benefits. Having to find, decipher, and depict safety-critical pieces of data helped embed this information more deeply in my sometimes-befuddled brain. Today, however, there are much better ways to make preflight visits through and to the airspace and airports that you intend to use. Even if you don’t subscribe to any of the amazingly capable apps that abound these days, you can use Google Earth to skim over the terrain and explore your departure and destination airports. The app I use enables you to “pre-fly” a trip through the waypoints you load, and it offers three-dimensional airport depictions. Having been a map- and chart-geek for most of my life, I can happily spend hours using this online magic just to explore.

Click the image above to search the map.

For the finishing touches, though, nothing beats seeing an actual flight to the place you plan to go. You can find plenty of such videos on YouTube, but the FAA has taken a more intentional approach through its growing series of From the Flight Deck videos. This video series provides pilots with actual runway approach and airport taxiway footage captured with cockpit mounted cameras, combined with diagrams and visual graphics to clearly identify hot spots and other safety-sensitive items. The blue circles denote videos in development and clicking brings up a dialog box with the projected video release date.

Airports circled in green have a video already; just click on the circle for the name of the airport and a link to the actual video. The ones I’ve watched are around seven minutes long, but of course you can watch them as many times as you like. I especially like the way that the charted area appears in the upper left corner of the “real life” video footage, so you can simultaneously see both views and hear the explanation. It’s a terrific, cost-free way to know before you go, so you can operate anywhere with competence and confidence.

If our research as Indigenous peoples isn’t contradicting Western accepted findings, perhaps we are not digging deep enough.

There comes a point in the unraveling where I can see clearly the untruth that has been presented to me and in those moments of clarity, I get to choose if I would like to continue upholding this untruth, or if I would like to reject it and instead, replace it with something closer to that of my original nature.

Corn Maiden ©Northern Vision Productions, 2018

This personal process of choosing, directly relates to the currently upheld process the Western academic realm participates in as it continues to choose the protection of Western “accepted knowledge” as ultimate truth, over choosing to open their doors of understanding into a larger, more whole version of the way the world works through the vast amounts of knowledge accumulated by hundreds and thousands of generations of Indigenous Nations and their knowledge systems worldwide.

If the people who uphold a harmful system are afraid of what lies on the other side of their paradigm, they are most likely not going to choose to see what is there because they are afraid to loose their footing.

However, what type of real “footing” do we have if the foundation on which we currently stand is made of false information? What are we really building?

This is not a question of morals and beliefs and “spirituality” (like most Western establishments try to place the world of Indigenous Knowledge into — thus making it “incompatible” with the Western understanding of “Science”). This is a question on if the world is truly looking for real answers to the questions that they seek.
