Bringing it together
Xavier paisley needed a way to allow people find energy products and their prices by allowing users send requests and recieving responses from other users. Alongside letting users purchase this products directly or ordering.
My solution was to have apps for vendors and users with the former for management of product and invoicing while the later for placing orders and making requests.
Improving the experience
A problem we heard about often form users was that it was difficult to find images they had previously seen or worked on. To solve this we added a new tab that lists all previously annotated slides. In addition, we added the ability to favorite slides, so if users find an interesting slide they want to annotate later, they can easily save it to their account.
Meaningful details
Marking and annotating areas on high resolution biomedical images is the core experience of the app, and it was easy to get lost or lose sense of scale when zooming in on details. Adding measurements for the perimeter and area of an annotation both helped to communicate the overall scale of the image and how large the annotated feature is in comparison.
Project outcomes
Real-time collaborative annotation facilitated better collaboration between learners, and was much easier to run group exercises with the new shared layers feature. Learners gave feedback that is was enjoyable to work together and see what others were doing, and liked how interactive and easy to use the application was.
