of issues with the current design, translated into user needs and design opportunities

of best practices for UI and UX app design and brainstorm for improved functionalities

of user experience evaluation by setting up fictional but realistic race scenarios

Exploration

1.

Prototype design

2.

Several options are explored to design the different app functionalities and ensure a positive user experience.

with participants from the defined target group

Usability testing

3.

followed by data analysis from user feedback and participant's performance

to evaluate different interface designs, user flows and experiences

Final design
