Kineto User Test 1

• User Testing#pkineto

• We initially recruited people at school who have an Apple Pencil.

  • It looks like about 15 people will participate.

• We might distribute it through Firebase App Distribution.

  • It seems easier than Testflight (needs further consideration).

• For class videos, I’m thinking of using something like “try it!“.

  • It might be problematic in terms of copyright.

• I also thought about using TED videos,

• but I’ll ask the school teachers if I can use their past videos.

  • Japanese Language: Mr. Sakamoto
  • Permission obtained

• Step 1

  • Test the experience of writing on class videos.

• Step 2

  • Share the writing synchronously.

• Thoughts on the test

  • I thought it would be better to have face-to-face tests or connect via Zoom so that support can be provided immediately.

• Thoughts on Kineto

  • Doesn’t handwriting take a lot of time?

    • If you write for 5 seconds, it disappears right after you finish writing.
    • Mr. Yutsumi’s system didn’t have much real-time interaction, so it worked?
    • Maybe we can utilize Kineto’s asynchronicity here.

  • If you add a few characters or add brackets later, only the brackets remain after some time, which looks weird.

    • In fact, it might not even be possible with a short time span.

  • I want to recognize a complete set of writings.

    • The format of GoodNotes’ laser pointer seems good.

  • I observed cases where the writing overlapped with the slides.

  • I couldn’t observe communication between students.

  • I observed a situation where someone wrote something that was already seen, and then someone else wrote the same thing before the first person.

  • I observed asynchronous conversations like “I see” or “Indeed”.

    • I think it’s a natural place to write at the bottom right of the original message.
    • However, it could be problematic if they overlap.

  • I observed a chain of people writing “I see” after seeing someone else write it.

  • Unexpected: Doodles with speech bubbles inserted into illustrations.

    • It’s unclear if this is specific to the situation of having to write something during user testing.
    • You can’t do doodles with Kineto like you can with NicoNico.

  • When a long sentence is written, only 5-8 characters are displayed.

    • Like Reading Plus
      • = You can only read it if you’re consciously focusing on it.
      • It’s tough to do this during class.
    • This can be solved with the GoodNotes method.

  • The empty spaces where you want to write are mostly the same, so they tend to overlap.

    • Like the blank space in the upper right of the slide.

  • Overall

    • I noticed several differences from NicoNico.
      • It’s a problem if they overlap.
        • With others,
        • NicoNico flows, so there is no overlap with things from different times.
          • Ah, I see why it flows now.
          • I didn’t understand that much, the wisdom of our predecessors(?)
      • It shares not only time but also the location (coordinates).
        • Also, there is intention in the coordinates.
          • (Sorry for overlapping)

• Things to ask later

  • Why were there fewer writings than expected?
    • Did the content require some creativity, or could they write naturally like “I should write this”?
  • Is it possible to write while watching the video?
  • Were you conscious of who wrote what?
    • I saw simple responses, but
