This project's goal was to redesign the Palm Pilot's current interface. We utilized the usability inspection methods and evaluation techniques learned in our Intro to HCI Methods class to inform and validate our new design.

Based on the data collected over the course of the semester, we decided to focus on three themes in our redesign of the Palm: Consistency, labeling and freedom.
