July 11th,We've setting our actuality location for wayfinding project as the "Library".After running the process of "finding a book and borrow a book" in our first A-E-I-O-U pre-test,We found that is lots of problem when a person who is trying to finding a book by the number of book,and even the sign in the library can also be a confusing object in the Library route system.

First Pre-test situation

As this pre-test result we've using it to the A-E-I-O-U model,and discovered there are many unnecessary problems happen in the process of borrowing a book.Such as the number of book is not really suitable for a person to remember or identify easily.and there is also a problem when we finding the book , the signs in the library provide insufficient information for the user , So we might have to waste lots of time to get the right location of book in the bookcase or even the right floors in the building.

And figure out the five questions of 5 principle of wayfinding in our school library:

Q1.What's my destination?
Ans: the locations of books

Q2:How do I find where i am in the environment?
Ans:By the floor sign on the wall.

Q3:How do I find the route to my destination?
Ans:By the turning of number on the cabinet.

Q4:How do I recognize my destination when I arrive there?
Ans:the name or the number of books.

Q5:How do I find me way back to my starting point ?
Ans:Return to the same way.

Second Pre-test situation
July 12th , We've trying to have a second pre-test for the mission of borrowing a book.First,we search a book about ECO design,it's a English design books.By the camera,We saved the all process of actions into a video files.after returned to classroom,we divided the whole process into a lots of situation in A-E-I-O-U model.

The divided actions of video

And finally we've reorganizes the situations became an process situations of A-E-I-O-U

after the poster came out,We point out the problem or the key of situation by the scratch paper,and divided the whole process into three parts:
1.Searching (Number)
Contain the activities of which books we want,and the number of book.
2.Finding (Book)
Contain the activities of finding the books in the library.
3.Borrowing
Contain the activities of borrow the books by the employee of library and auto-borrowing machine.

Solutions
July 13th,we came out the solutions from each problem.We trying to combine the concept of IOT(internet of things)to our library wayfinding project.The service can be the management of backstage contain the situations of books,and the user can easily knows the info of book by the interface.
After reading the books we can make some comments to every book you've read.and your comment also can be the suggestions of books for another readers.This service make it easier to find the right book you want by knowing some information or suggestions.

Sharing the comments of book can also connect with every reader have seen the same books.Users can create a list of books in the frontstage of device,and make the goal of books you want to read.

Process of service,the RFID connect the physical book with the backstage deta,user can scan the RFID to get to know the information or comment of books,and it also can located the location of books by the image of floor map.

The sketch of product.it can be portable in the library for user who needs.

The UI setting for user,interface design contains the location of book and the information of books.Scaning the book , We can know the information of books and even make the borrow process done.
