Die UX einer Software wird durch die Summe ihrer Teilaufgaben gebildet.
Ein allgemeines Erscheinungsbild der Software wird gestaltet, einzelne Abläufe und Interaktionen iterativ entworfen, überprüft und ausgearbeitet.
Eine Anwendersoftware erleichtert und vereinfacht vielfältige Arbeiten für Benutzer.
Ziel des Moduls »Application Design 2« ist es, die wichtigsten Arbeitsaufgaben einer ausgewählten Anwendersoftware (Desktop) zu analysieren, um diese neu zu gestalten und erlebbar zu machen. Im ersten Schritt bestimmen die Studierenden dazu eine geeignete Applikation als Betrachtungsgegenstand.
In the Application Design II course, the task was to develop intuitiv user interactions and reasoned micro steps.
Research was the first step, in which among other things, user testing and different models/techniques were carried out to get an overview and to be able to think about possible user flows, design principles and features.
The product is a comprehensive redesign, which was improved on the basis of the constantly taking place user testings and their findings.
Thus, not only a redesign is developed, but also a completely new user experience is created.
About OBS
Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) is a free software to record the screen content of a PC or broadcast it over the Internet (live streaming).
The Open Broadcaster software supports the user in transmitting screen content in real time via a network connection to the Internet. The transmitted content can be adapted and supplemented by means of various scenes and windows before transmission.
OBS Studio is available in 41 languages, including German.
Why OBS ?
We decided to use the desktop application OBS.
This decision is based on the current poor usability, incomprehensible information architecture and lack of user-friendliness.
Since it is freeware, the design is outdated and needs a redesign.
