Easy DSLR
During semester 1 in 2018 we were tasked with creating a camera for a specific user group focusing on usability.
I chose to focus on creating a DSLR camera that was simple and easy to use for seniors. The camera was a simple to use digital camera with an attachable DSLR accessory. The project focused on not just the usability of the camera, but the usability of the features including the analogue buttons and the digital menus.
