Graduate Course Teamwork
With the prevalence of sensor-based smartphone apps, mobile data privacy is getting more and more complex.
This project is a most important part in my UX course which is Curated Narrative for Dynamic Content. In this project, we need to study the skill of storytelling and also try to find an amazing idea and solution with the user story.
This is a group project, there were two designers in each team. I worked with my partner Joe to research, ideate, design, and prototype our version.

" Everything starts with a story. "
/ STORYTELLING
The word "data leakage" is always in front of our eyes, all over the world are troubled by data leakage incidents.
In current Android OS, apps tell you what permissions they are using (e.g. location, camera), but they don't tell you:
1. Why they are using those permissions (eg, advertisement).
2. How can you close those permission options immediately?
In this project, we are building a future in which users can know all those information.
USER STORY
Adams is a manager at a law company, he likes to use Twitter and other social media to keep up to date on general world news, but at the same time is concerned that social media and other applications. One day, he was browsing the news on social media as usual. Then he finds terrible news that is about Privacy Leak. Some companies were trying to sell user's data, so he wants to turn off the privacy from all of the applications immediately, then he just opening every application and trying to find where the Privacy option is. Actually, the problem was coming, the privacy option was hard to find, and also it took him a lot of time. Finally, he just closed the privacy option from some important applications.
Next day, he was going to watch a football match, during that match he wants to take a picture and post it on an application, but when he was opening that application, he can not take a picture, because he already closed the privacy option, about the location, the camera, the audio were not working in this application, then he had to find where the privacy option is. Unfortunately, he missed a great time to take a picture.

On boarding tutorial
/ USER TEST
Conceptual testings with 4 users helped us to improve the
experience.
We created the high fidelity interactive version to let our interviewee experience the Privacer, and collected the feedback and advice from them. Fortunately, we get many useful suggestions to improve our work.
/ SOLUTION
After we completed the usability test of this prototype, we got a lot of useful feedback from our interviewees, then we pushed it to a touchable way and iterated the original version, while tried to make this MVP easy to access and use.
