User interface design for android-based family genealogy social media

Abstract

In the era of the development of mobile technology, direct communication becomes a rare thing between humans to their families, causing the spatial communication between families, be it close family, distant family, or extended family. This can lead to familial relationships disappear, so that the grandchildren do not know their family tree properly. The “Geni.com” app provides a feature to record family tree by collaborating with six million other users, but this app is still a web app. This research will discuss about the development of application of android application from prototype of social media genealogy, then evaluate the performance using SUS and UEQ to see whether the application design has satisfy the expectations, which design is the best, and whether the design needs improvement or not based on user experience.
