Jun 29 --> eLab Notebook First Computer Prototype
Working on eLab Notebook. Having a brainstorm session with Kelsey while Michelle and Kathy are at the Wet Lab today. We got some designs based on their observations. We are trying to make it conform to the Apple Interaction Guidelines so that it could be successfully deployed in the App Store.
Kelsey and I are currently implementing two alternative implementations for navigation. Kelsey is implementing a version that uses a segmented control to switch between functions. This is a useful implementation because we can easily call the switching function from anywhere; perfect for voice or gesture integration. My implementation stayed truer to HIG in some ways as it employed a root navigation controller. The issue is that we also wanted to use split views as well and they are not necessarily meant to go together.
We got the basic views for the protocols view, the lab state/organization, map, calendar, and a main workspace for notes.
Jun 30 --> eLab Notebook Final Design Session
Today the eLab Notebook team got together to discuss final designs for the Lab Notebook. We incorporated some redesigns by Kathy and Michelle to support more lab functions. We also incorporated suggestions from Traci that she expressed during the team brainstorming session on Monday.
We've also decided that we are going with the segmented control implementation because switching functions from a navigation controller is a little more convoluted and does not comply to HIG because of the combination of controls.
