Design Considerations
The functionalities of the kiosk was designed with the older population and users with impaired senses in mind. It incorporates a voice-over guide in four languages – English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil– to cater to non-English speaking users. Additionally, visual interface elements are kept large for better readability and navigation. For instance, we used large-sized Emojis for users to better express their emotions during the rating.

Design tools are crucial for us at Hipster. With these tools, we created prototypes that feel like the real experience quickly. User interface elements and interactions are defined. Prototyping takes the guesswork out for our clients and development team. It gives us the freedom to design, test and iterate – while running a speedy design process.
