An app prototype designed as a solution for challenge 2 of Digital Fields Hack, an hackathon competition held on 27 and 28 October 2018 in Bologna (Italy). For further information about this event, refer to Hackathon Infos folder.
As participants involved in the second challenge, we needed to improve and enhance user-experience following these criteria:
- Ease of use and fast comprehension of in-app data, taken from field sensors
- Possibility to further analyze field data, visualizing correlation between them and trends
- Graphic restyling to help user associate physical characteristics of crop and fruits with data
Our solution is a prototype of an app with the Justinmind prototyping software. It's composed by:
- Splash: a simple splash screen for app loading
- Home: the main screen. It's composed by many components:
- Drawer menu: classic hamburger-like menu. It allows to reach to the home screen, to the fields screen ("Campi"), to the requests screen("Richieste") and to the data screen ("Storico")
- Notifications: an hamburger-like menu to display important messages like a sensor fault or new data calculated for one of the fields
- Map: a satellite map displaying fields linked to the account of the farmer logged in the app. They are divised and singularly clickable, to obtain specific insights based on the selected field
- Infos: buttons visualized on the upper right of the screen, reporting fundamental field data for an immediate visualization
- Tab bar: the menu in the lower part of the screen, composed by 3 buttons. Each one of them enables a particular visualization of the data, regarding a specific selected field or the entirety of the possessed fields. They are:
- Coltura: it allows to check for which crop a specific selected field is being cultivated for (rice, mais, ecc.)
- Difesa: it allows to assess the risk and the type of infection for a specific selected field (high, medium, low)
- Irrigazione: it allows to assess the urgency of irrigation for a specific selected field (high, medium, low)
- Richieste: it allows to check for requests from colleagues about field works, and take charge of any of it, if necessary (like a shared to-do list)
- Storico: just a screen displaying various type of data and their trend in past days/hours
- Campi: a setting screen, by which a farmer can set legal/practical infos regarding fields linked to his account
