problem statement

• cellphones with basic multimedia capability
  (camera and speaker) are pervasive
• but there isnt an application or service
  available that integrates multimedia capabilities
  to capture interesting or important occurrences
  and their location

3
proposed solution

• Capture is a simple tool that allows you to take
  a photo, or voice recording to capture something
  noteworthy. Capture auto-tags it with location
  information. These captures can be retrieved at
  will, or pop-up automatically when one is the
  vicinity of a previous capture. Further, one has
  basic ability to share captures via MMS.
• Capture can serve as a mobile memory aid, an
  organizer for cellphone photos or voice
  recordings, an auto-fill MMS template

persona
Erica Brewer
Erica stays with her husband Frank, who is also
retired. She has two grown sons who stay in the
same city, and 3 grandchildren aged 5, 8 and
12. Nearly everyday, she meets up with her
buddies for coffee. She is part of a local
charity organization that raises funding for
research of juvenile diabetes. On an average, she
spends 10 hours a week for the cause. She tries
to get the full family together at her place
about once a month. Once in a while, she picks
up her grandkids from school and they stay the
night with her and Frank. She looks forward to
those days and even plans in advance for them.

scenario and prototyping

• Erica gets drawn to Capture

12
beyond Erica

• capture interesting places while travelling, and
  share with friends
• capture the place where you parked your car
• take a series of captures (landmarks) to trace
  path
• multimedia wallet photo

13
grounded in persona

• for low-end cell phones
• doesnt use data plan doesnt need to connect
  to carrier signal
• design favored photo and voice annotation over
  text tagging
• limited share capability (keeping away from
  social networking)

14
competitor analysis

• note-taking applications are text tagging and
  hierarchical organization intensive, are complex,
  and are for high end phones. e.g. Evernote,
  reQall
• basic voice recording or camera apps on phones
  dont integrate multimedia capabilities, and are
  hardly employed for note-taking
• Unique Selling Point auto-tagging of
  geographical information, and location based
  retrieval

15
the short story

• Capture is primarily a mobile memory aid. We
  designed it to meet the needs of Erica Brewer, a
  fictional 71-year-old persona whose calendar is
  filled with volunteering activities, coffee with
  friends, and indulging her grandkids.
• Erica is not a gadget freak. Unlike many other
  mobile applications, Capture specifically
  supports older phones with low-cost service
  plans. Capture also favors image and voice
  interaction over typing on a tiny telephone
  keypad.
