 Introduction Following the ideation phase and Lego Serious Play (LSP) modeling in Task 2, our team has successfully translated our conceptual designs into a fully interactive Clickable Prototype using Figma. This prototype was developed to directly address the primary pain points identified in our field study which are long waiting times, lack of availability transparency, and the need for a seamless booking experience for the UUM campus community. Prototype Fidelity Overview   To ensure an effective usability testing phase, our prototype was built adhering to the required fidelity standards: High Fidelity in LOOK: The user interface (UI) features a polished, modern aesthetic tailored to a barbershop environment. We utilized a consistent dark-mode color palette (black, gold, and white), readable typography, and intuitive iconography to simulate the final product's exact visual appearance. Medium Fidelity in FEEL: The prototype is fully optimized to run on a desktop computer...

1. Ideation Process (Lego Serious Play) To conceptualize the core functionality and user experience of the UUM Barbershop Application , our team conducted an Ideation Process using the Lego Serious Play (LSP) method . Instead of diving directly into digital interface wireframing, we utilized physical and digital Lego components to model abstract customer frustrations, operational bottlenecks, and feature solutions into a clear 3D architectural journey. This hands-on prototyping session allowed all four remote group members to align our user research data that gathered from our 54 campus respondents which a tangible ecosystem map, ensuring every digital element we design directly addresses a real-world campus pain point .   Notes: This lego model is created using website called mecabricks.com 2. Ideation/Conceptualisation Outcomes The finalized Lego model serves as a direct, structural metaphor linking verified the u ser needs to the a pplication features and functions of the ...
