    The document contains notes from multiple iterations of a paper prototype design for a spacecraft user interface. Feedback from testing revealed that separating navigation and weapon controls was useful, as was including a direction indicator to the selected target. A suggestion to separate the main radar, navigation, and weapons controls with different colors and adding more detail to the radar display improved the design. Removing the "X" symbol from the fire button prevented it from being misinterpreted as cancel instead of fire. The prototyping process identified helpful design adjustments.

    PAPER PROTOTYPE FINDINGS:
    The paper prototype tests revealed some helpful suggestions and feedback which I
    incorporated into my design. The separation of navigation and weapon aiming was well NOTES:
    received as most could see the inherent value of keeping these controls independant •
    01 Login keypad
    and thus able to operate in parallel. The navigational controls were also seen as intuitive • This is something
    and the direction indicator to target was also seen as helpful. One major suggestion was else
    to separate the three main controls (radar, navigation, and weapons) by three different
    colors. A insightful suggestion to include a “detail” component to the radar panel added
    to the value of the radar and significantly boosted its effectiveness. The final significant
    suggestion was to remove the “X” from the fire button, as many interpreted this symbol to
    mean cancell instead of fire. Overall, the proptotype test proved informative and surfaced
    some critical flaws which were able to be mitigated.
