This project explores the design and functionality of embedded applications, particularly focusing on the flawed Florida Butterfly ballot during the 2000 election. We analyze user interfaces, accessibility, and demographic considerations, suggesting innovations like contactless Metrocard technology. Students will reflect on the role of environment and infrastructure while comparing various websites and user experiences. The aim is to challenge participants to design an improved voting ballot, enhancing user satisfaction and accuracy in elections.

Reflection on studies Two dimensions • Topics • In class (colleges), your own topic (compare Web sites), Embedded applications • Subjects • You, your team • Friends and family • Note: this is a phrase used in various marketing campaigns • Strangers
Reflections • Role(s) of environment, infrastructure, network effects • Variety of users, demographics and new versus repeat user • Demand on users • Accessibility ??? [give user a name!]
Florida Butterfly ballot in 2000 • Was one of several things that would have changed the election. • Many people made a mistake in voting. • Note: a confirmation screen that we come to expect in making purchases would have/could have made a difference.
Challenge • Design a better ballot! • Note: the requirement to be bilingual meant it could not be [much] bigger.
NYC Metrocards • Suggestion to change from swiping cards to … use contactless chip already in many phones. • What are • Positive and negative features of current system • Note: a positive feature is sunk costs of turnstiles • Positive and negative features of contactless chip in phones (or phone-like) devices
