Mircointeractions reading: Rules, Feedback and Modes
PART 1:
Using a diagramming tool create three flowchart diagrams each describing the set of rules that guide the three micro-interactions that you identified last week. Consider the user input, the time components (delays, schedules, etc.), the data required, the processes involved and the final outcome(s).
Describe how feedback is used in the three micro-interactions you had selected previously: effectively or not, skillfully or not, is it useful, is it appropriate, is it delightful?
#1 - Hinge Unmatching Function
Triggers: Choose the chatroom with the person you wouldn't want to deal with and swipe left
Rules: Shows choices of "unmatch" "hide" or "we met"
Feedback: It gives users a choice of "unmatch" "hide" or "we met" depends on their liking
Loops & Modes: The options stay until either they choose any option shown above or enter a chatroom with different person
#2 - Instagram: Vanish your chat temporally
Triggers: In a chatroom with your friends, swipe up the chatroom all the way up to the top
Rules: Vanish mode lets people send each other disappearing messages, photos, videos and other content in Instagram chats.
Feedback: It enters to a different chatroom with the same person but the content would be disappeared when someone leaves the chat or turns vanish mode off.
Loops & Modes: Users would stay in the vanish mode chatroom until they either leave the chat or turns vanish mode off.
#3 - "Add to Home Screen" function on iOS app library
triggers: Tap and hold the app you would want to add to the home screen for a second
rules: Let users to have an option to add an app of their choice to be added to their home screen
feedback: Users can move an app of their choice to move to a home screen for easy access.
loops and modes: The popup stays on the screen unless users chose to make an action or tap anywhere on the screen to exit the function.
PART 2:
Find an example of a micro-interaction that switches modes - one of your previously selected ones or a new one. Could this mode be avoided and if so how?
