Waypoints: Usability

During usability analysis, we began to analyze existing digital archives and libraries in order to define the features that we wanted to include in our system. A few of the systems we analyzed can be found in our comparative analysis.

Once we had an idea of what we wanted the Waypoints system to look like, we developed our paper prototype for initial user testing. Our testing script and user observations can be found in the appendices section.
