Low-Fidelity Prototype: Travel Experience Exchange App
Key Feature Prioritization
The key feature prioritized for this app is the ability for users to exchange their travel experience and post travel pictures.
Prototype Design
The low-fidelity prototype for this app will consist of a simple user interface with two main sections: one for posting travel pictures and another for exchanging travel experiences.
The app's homepage will display a feed of travel pictures posted by users, with the option to filter by location or popularity. The travel experience exchange section will allow users to post about their travel experiences, including information about the location, accommodation, food, and activities.
Three Versions with Trade-Offs
Version 1: Social Sharing Emphasis
This version of the app emphasizes social sharing by allowing users to connect with friends and share their travel experiences on other social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. This version will have limited functionality for travel planning and recommendations.
Trade-Off: This version may attract more casual users who are interested in sharing their travel experiences but may not attract users looking for a comprehensive travel planning and recommendation app.
Version 2: Travel Planning Emphasis
This version of the app emphasizes travel planning by including features such as itinerary planning, booking accommodations, and recommending activities and restaurants based on user preferences and travel history. This version will have limited functionality for social sharing.
Trade-Off: This version may attract more serious travelers who are interested in travel planning and recommendations, but may not attract users looking for a social platform to share their travel experiences.
Version 3: Comprehensive Travel Experience
This version of the app emphasizes a comprehensive travel experience by combining social sharing and travel planning features. It will include features such as itinerary planning, booking accommodations, recommending activities and restaurants, and allowing users to connect with friends and share their travel experiences on the app.
Trade-Off: This version may be the most resource-intensive to develop and maintain, and may require more marketing efforts to attract users to a new platform.
Recommended Starting Point
Based on the resources and timeline available, we recommend starting with Version 1, which emphasizes social sharing. This version has a narrower focus and requires fewer features to develop, allowing for a quicker release and testing phase. Once Version 1 is tested and refined, the app can be expanded to include additional features from Versions 2 and 3, based on user feedback and resource availability.
