Our prototype is implemented in HTML5 and javascript. Any modern browser
running on any operating system should run our prototype. We tested it with
Chrome and Firefox of Windows and Linux.
To run our prototype, either navigate to http://meelap.csail.mit.edu/z/gr4 or
http://stripenight.com/ui/keyboard.
We've implemented all features we planned to, but we don't yet have a remote
control. For now, we use the 4 arrow keys and enter.

"Wiki presentation
: Clear, with all the necessary information included. A bit more user-centered notes could have enhanced readability.
Fidelity: - Minimalist design, clean and simple.
- Can you think of visual designs and aesthetics that can aid user's input actions? The current prototype is rather functional in that visual design is stripped down to minimal.
- What would be the best tree visualization technique you can apply?
Usability: - Possible user actions should be more visually obvious. Using more visual components to display options and feedback is recommended.
- Due to the input method restriction, simple ways to undo, select, move between options can greatly enhance the user experience.
Overall: For a system like yours, testing with an actual hardware controller is essential to the user experience. To that extent, it's hard to get enough feedback on just the web front-end. But it is also true that there are many things you can do with the minimal design you have to improve the user operations. Being more creative about addressing those concerns raised by your evaluators will be a nice use of the group's time.
