Speak with people
To check if a “time-flashback” idea made sense, I talked to locals and visitors around Perth. People told me they love old photos of the city, but current tools feel distant online galleries, archives, social media.
They wanted something simple they could use directly in the streets, at real places. These insights confirmed the interest in an easy way to explore Perth’s past on-site.

"The gallery near me or the internet are the places I go most often. There is a similar page of old photos on social media for Perth, but it’s something quite different if you compare them in person."

Key insights of potencial user needs
Based on all the information from the interviews, I have mapped all the notes and divided them into two main categories.
"People are genuinely curious about Perth’s past and want a connection to real places."
“Old photos are cool, but I want to see them in the real place.”
"I want to see changes over time visually."
“Old photos are cool, but I want to see them in the real place.”
"Users expect an extremely simple, clean, accurate, cool experience."
“I’d only use it if it’s accurate and straightforward.”
My aim was to devise a unique app designed specifically for Perth to encourage a perception and view of the city in a historical and contemporary context.
