Results
I invited five sneakers lovers to interview and test this App. First, I introduced the concept of the App to them, and explained each key feature. Then I asked them to experiment with the prototype of the wireframes, each of users was using this app more than 20 minutes and go through every steps of the system. I ask them if each feature make sense and what they thought or suggested. After testing, the five participants were satisfied with the overall performance of the system. They all think AR and Discover features are really cool and unique. But some people think the home page is not that necessary, someone suggests that some page can be simplified.
