Comments for Leather Ducking http://leatherducking.com Thesis talk on urban biking by interaction designers Kristin Breivik and Carrie Stiens Fri, 02 Mar 2012 22:46:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Comment on Tracking Instructions MotionX by Kristin Breivik http://leatherducking.com/tracking-instructions-motionx/#comment-568 Kristin Breivik Fri, 02 Mar 2012 22:46:57 +0000 http://leatherducking.com/?p=1392#comment-568 We actually do have this working for Android My Tracks as well now (Carrie has an Android, so that was kinda crucial). Though "working" might not be the right word to use just yet... We're in need of some data from our classmates to have a bit more data when we build, which is why we wrote these app instructions. We need to keep it somewhat constrained to a small circle of friends for now as we haven't figured out privacy settings and the log-in part just yet. We'll definitely let the world know when we can open this up to more people! We actually do have this working for Android My Tracks as well now (Carrie has an Android, so that was kinda crucial).

Just to make that clear ;) Either way, you are in, Shmuli! We're figuring out the color scheme right now, but orange should be on the palette, indeed. We'll let you know when there's something to test! Of course, those who can’t find themselves in the “Yes, I’m in!” category, can still definitely be in if they want. Just to make that clear ;)

So count me in as a prototype tester. As a daily commuter, I would love to be the orange (my country color) line going accross NYC! I'm currently a beta tester for the new Strava Android app, so bring it on! It looks like I’m on the “yes I’m in!” side of the picture! So count me in as a prototype tester.

YEAH! It's not real yet unfortunately, but we're working on it, and we're coding a web site as we speak :) We hope to get a prototype up mid-March for beta-testing. We'll display bike rides as beautiful visualizations on a map in a web page, and let our bikers compare their rides with others. In this initial test, bikers will use an existing tracking app to track their rides, and then we'll see if we get to build a much awesomer tracking app than what's out there already afterwards... :) Either way, our product will be focused on the joy of getting around on a bike, being close to and explore the city, rather than speed and calorie counting. (Can totally relate to your <a href="http://vimeo.com/36657693" rel="nofollow">skin to asfalt rule</a> btw!) And we figured people that appreciate taco hunts by bike could be up for something like this. Maybe you'll be up for some prototype testing later? You’ll use it? YEAH!

Is your product real or an experiment? I'll use it. Sorry I bailed after one or two stops on the Taco Tour. Whooops! Wait- What is this? Is your product real or an experiment? I’ll use it.
