IS 385 System Analysis and Design
The prototype of the new gaming system is rubbish! exclaims Richie, after you both spent the
past hour checking out an advance copy of a new gaming console that incorporates facial
expressions into its gesture control suite.
Whats the point of eyebrow movement as a control feature if it takes the system half a minute to
respond? And whats with the stick figure avatars? Even cartoon avatars would be ridiculous,
why take us back to the stone age?
Well, I think the whole point is for us to evaluate the new features, see if it makes any sense,
right? Focus on that, everything else you can forgive or ignore for now. says Charlie, even if he
is slightly annoyed himself by the less that stellar visuals of the console.
1. From the reading, what kind of prototype are Richie and Charlie reviewing? Describe the
general features of the prototype. (5 points)
2. As an alternative, recommend a prototype that would better suit Richies and Charlies
expectations, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the alternative prototype. (5 points).
