User Experience Design Immersive Fall 2013
Tuesday, October 1, 2013

We created a mobile wallet that lives in the Foursquare app to
enhance the experience of existing Foursquare users by
allowing consumers to walk in a store and easily pay, keep
track of purchases and accrue reward points from repeated
visits.
The Challenge: Create a mobile payment system within
the existing Foursquare app.
The Solution: A mobile wallet.

PLANNING

DESIGN RESEARCH
Method:
We created a survey and received over 100 responses
from Reddit, Facebook, LinkedIn and Fitocracy, in addition
to our in-person surveys/interviews.We asked individuals
how they share information online, preferred social
networks, and financial behavior using web or mobile
options.
Findings:
10 of those that filled out the survey use Foursquare.
Almost all use the “big 3” social networking websites,
Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. In addition, we
determined that less than 5% use Google Wallet along
with other mobile payment options. Not many are aware
that mobile wallets exist, and for those that do, most
expressed concerns about privacy and security.
Opportunities Identified:
Create a trusted mobile wallet powered by Visa that lives
within the Foursquare app, which allows users to securely
store their card or account information. We narrowed
down the target market based on Foursquare’s current
users and potential users who are open to the idea of
using a mobile wallet.

Method:
We ideated and sketched out possible user scenarios.
- The usual joints vs. finding new place
- New order vs. usual
- Dining in vs To go orders
And came up with the flowing user journeys:
AWARENESS
- Awareness of the new wallet service
SET UP AND FIRST RUN
- First time walk-through for existing and new Foursquare
users
- setting up an wallet account
CORE PRODUCT EXPERIENCE
- Finding a new or usual food location
- Navigating through the restaurant reservation system
- Placing a to-go order and setting the pick up time
- Paying via wallet dollars or rewards points
- Receiving the receipt
- Editing wallet payment information
Simplification of main menu: icon based, vs. sliding menu
Add more “human” touch to technology

DESIGN ITERATION | DESIGN HYPOTHESIS
FIRST ITERATION
Method:
Using our user research we set out to sketch our first
iterations of what we identified to be our key screens.
We tried to keep our users in mind in terms of
navigation, making sure everything was simple, clear,
and easy to navigate.
Findings:
From these sketches we didn’t conduct any user
testing, so this was more or less an exercise in
getting our ideas on paper and trying to work things
out. Technical details were worked out more in
OmniGraffle in Iteration 2.
This is more complicated than originally thought. We
decided that the in person experience would also be
important and we had to think beyond the app.

SECOND ITERATION
Method:
Based on our first user testing, we incorporated user
feedback and and added features. We converted the
paper prototypes into digital wireframes.
Findings:
We identified holes and irregular/ unnatural flows
based on user testing behaviors. Taking into
consideration the ease of gesture, and rewording
content for effortless scanning.
Keeping simple and straightforward directionality adds
to the ease of use of the product. Logos are an
essential element in keeping the noise level down
which in turn creates an elegant but deceptively
simple design.

PROTOTYPE
Method:
Using the POP app prototype, we ventured
around downtown San Francisco to test the
ﬂow of the app. We tested ~8 individuals to
identify any task confusion.
Findings:
Most people do not read and rely on logos
for comprehension. Most understand the
task and ﬂow of the prototype.
Eliminate half of the words and replace them
with logos. Less words complement ease of
use and replace some pages with pop-ups
to prevent clutter.

Flow: Dining In
Greg arrives and checks in on foursquare... Meanwhile the host receives notice

Bon Appetit!

Flow: Conﬁrm Transaction
They enjoy their meal and at the end of the evening the waiter asks if Greg would like anything else, Greg
replies no and the waiter hits the button on the iPhone he has used as a POS that send the bill to Greg’s
foursquare wallet account.
Greg receives notice of the receipt, reviews, selects the tip amount, selects his card, selects his receipt type
and completes the transaction.
