3. Heuristic Evaluation
Your blog post #3
(1) Overall Navigation - it isn't too effective without a mouse. - UX UI for users who opens the site without context could be rather difficult. - the speed of rotation. (mouse button to look around) was too quick. - I do like how there's still an option to create rooms private and/or open, there is no option to change the state of the room after it has been made.
(2) Atmosphere - It wasn't very welcoming. - The environment looked rather plain. I don't think the interface is too considerate of new users. - Not gonna lie, it looked outdated and old. -
(3) Functions - Communication via voice feature. - Creating, joining, searching for servers to be with specific users. - Interactable world items, such as music box and fireworks. (fireworks could also be aimed, and be used as a teleportation device) - Users are able to modify their avatars and explore the space.
(4) How we could enhance the spatial environment in terms of secure and pleasant experience.
- With the standard environment of the Web Ubiq, I think the "affect" aspect could be more improved. - The basic features of communication could be made more efficient if: the keyboard inputs will reflect the input in-game. (This is because text cannot be typed with our external keyboard, but only through clicking the screen. I also found that providing access to the microphone, or generally just setting up our mics were a little difficult. (check this up later. But if it's true, it is likely a huge blow to the service, because it defeats the purpose of communication. - perhaps a larger standard space could help. The general look of this place does not only look out dated but unfinished, and plain. I think we could improve more on this aspect. - perhaps server stability could be improved. (me and a friend was in the same room until we opened our menu tab and our servers split.
Experiences:
the microphone function worked! I liked how the audio adjusts to how far and near you are from the speaker.
I enjoyed playing with the fireworks! tapping on the hand would release the fireworks, holding ctrl would slightly adjust the directions holding alt and shift would trigger teleportation
the music box was a cute add! the melody got a little annoying after few minutes though..
