Course Project: INFO3450 Human-Computer Interaction Design, Fall 2011
Veremee is an online shopping website proposal that enriches users' online shopping experience. By using Microsoft's Kinect, the design provides direct visual feedback - generating real-time image with users themselves being the model, and the item dynamically modeled on to the user's body, simulating a store fitting room.
We conducted contextual inquiries on female Cornell students to define personas and goals, and find out what frustrations they have during online shopping process. After that, each of member built paper prototypes first, then finalized the features we would put into mid-fidelity prototype. I proposed comparing function which was inspired by Persona Tingting, who wanted to save time on online shopping. And the idea was included in our mid-fidelity prototype. We validated our prototypes with think aloud and modified constructive interaction method.

Key Personas and Goals
Mid-fidelity Prototype - Main Page
Mid-fidelity Prototype - Search Results
Supporting multiple selections at one time.
Mid-fidelity Prototype - Combination
Presenting combination of the model on main page.
Mid-fidelity Prototype - Comparing Function
Comparing two clothes in one page to reduce memory workload of the user.
Mid-fidelity Prototype - Virtual Dressing Room
The avatar here is assumed to be the user's real-time image. The user could try on the clothes and take snapshots of herself.
Mid-fidelity Prototype - Veremee Virtual Dressing Room Control App Mockup
The idea is to let user use smart phone as a remote controller to operate the Veremee Virtual Dressing Room application. Since the user would stand far from the computer when trying on clothes, the user could select the clothes that she wants to try on or add the clothes to shopping cart directly on the smart phone without going back to the computer.
