Phase 2 · Activity Design Brainstorming
Activity | Metaphor | Ideas |
Designing a play | On a whiteboard | Player icons can be placed as they would be in a formation |
On a clipboard | A tablet interface is similiar to a clipboard in size and use | |
Distributing plays | To players | Each player can have unique plays that they're involved in |
As updates | New plays can be added to the list of plays for an individual game |
We decided on a tablet interface as it best duplicates the interface that coaches and teams are used to with existing whiteboards and clipbaords that are used to design and distrubte plays. Designing plays is setup as is conventional for football teams, with 'X' symbols to represent offensive players, and 'O' symbols to represent defensive players.
