Download as PPT, PDF1 like1,037 views
The document discusses a design challenge for Expedia to shift users' buying habits. It proposes a solution involving monitoring flight searches and automatically purchasing flights when they meet certain criteria. User research found that people lack trust in third parties and find buying flights a painful experience. The proposed prototype would help users buy tickets with more confidence by removing some control and "doing it for them" based on their initial searches.
