NO-HOX | TEAM- ELIXIR

“No-HoX” the name is a combination of No+Hoax meaning end of malicious deception/fake news

A user experience platform that defines the need of giving you authentic news. Fake news has become a concern across time, regions, and the political spectrum, leaving many to wonder about its implications, spill over effects.

At first sight, fake news and post-truth might appear to be different phenomena: fake news is the presentation of false information as objective facts. Post-truth refers to the irrelevance of objective facts in shaping public opinion. Yet the two concepts are closely related: in an era in which personal feelings, perceptions, and beliefs seem to be the main factors in public decision-making, fake news arises to play into those feelings and confirm pre-existing perceptions with sensational headlines.

We take the following procedure through which we explain the concept of developing the application as well as the web version which is thoroughly worked out with the basic concept principles of UX design that is as follows:

A thorough contextual inquiry and survey was conducted to get insights from the target user as how they feel about the issue being faced while browsing the news and then believing on it most of the time. The below affinity diagram shows the neutral relationships between the user group and their responses according to the questionnaire being floated online.

AFFINTY DIAGRAM

So the journey of designing an app begins with a user and a scenario where the authenticity of the news available in different media source is questioned as it forms a genuine necessity to be aware of what is going on the media and how genuine is the news floating around. With the survey of different target user groups giving feedback on the design elements and their views regarding the fake news issue.

According to the concepts and the survey, certain inferences were extracted out which then gave the way to a Pen paper prototype as above.

INFERENCES

In busy life people do not get time to verify the source and data. Unknowingly they also spread fake NEWS which is then passed on and on without any verification.
User finds copy and paste option bothersome and uneasy while searching for the authenticity of the NEWS.
No-HoX works on the process of 'drag and drop' search with hassle free interface.
It has a rating system that tells the user the authentic source of any news they search.
The interface directly leads the user to the authentic source from the pop up tray.
It gives the user control & flexibility with efficiency.
It has a web based platform as well as for mobile app with a minimalist design and error free evaluation.

HIGH FIDELITY PROTOTYPE

So the web prototype has an extension pinned to the taskbar. So being it developed as a user friendly interface with minimum interventions so as to make user get used to it with a very minimum ease makes NO-HOX a key platform and a one of its kind application.
