04USER CONSIDERATIONS & PSYCHOLOGY
Composed is built with the idea that users of all ages and experience can easily pick up their phone and use the augmented reality space with simple guidance. It is designed with the average user's ability to comprehend new information/processes in mind.

The app focuses on designing for the 3 theoretical psychological needs known as autonomy, relatedness, and competence, also known as the self-determination theory. When these needs are met, motivation is heightened, which I believe is particularly important here.

Designing for autonomy, means allowing users to have control over the "ownership" of a plan, while not being limited to a single path. Post-creation editing boosts autonomy, which is usually done when new user needs are needed to be met. For example, a recent injury, a new preference, or a changed deadline can be causes for plan revision, which can be done swiftly.

In the context of NERO, relatedness refers to being understood as a user, by a design that shows it can understand users. A bad example could be using many negative cues which demotivates the user because they skipped a day. Some situations are uncontrollable, so leaving the user with thoughts like "I've already missed a day, maybe this won't work out after all" is harmful. A better example can be highlighting improvements to get them back on track. This provides motivation, showing the app understands the user even in setbacks.

Competence is a measure of our own "capability", measured by how well we perform a task in relation to the effort put in. Though, I believe the highest feelings of competence stems from understanding how and why a task was done, rather than just completing it. Therefore, the results page is designed for reinforcing understanding. Data, whether biological or quantitative of a user's finished workout, can help them discover why their workout was successful.
