REFLECTION

REFLECTION

With additional time, I would have prioritized prototype testing to gather user

feedback and make informed improvements to the physical and interactive design,

enhancing the overall user experience. I would have also focused on refining the

interface where the camera connects to the phone for sending images, ensuring a

seamless and intuitive process.


Additionally, creating a physical model would have provided a tangible platform for

testing key features and iterating based on real-world user interactions.
