User centred prototyping – iPhone visualisation of XMS Penvision statistics

Abstract: XMS Penvision provides a platform to its customers for the creation of paper forms with the special technique this demands and management of their digital pens. The platform spans multiple operating systems but has not yet taken the step over to the iPhone. The ambition of XMS Penvision is to implement this and want to begin by showing statistical administrative information regarding their platform. The purpose of this thesis is to highlight the needs and wishes of XMS Penvision customers with the help of user‐centered methods and to create a prototype of an administrative interface for the iPhone. Usability goals, prototyping, heuristic evaluation and user tests are some of the methods applied during the work and the report describes these methods in theory but also through a discussion around their execution. The end result is a prototype implemented on the iPhone. The prototype uses data taken directly from XMS Penvision systems and users' views are documented.
