01. Finding User Pain Points & Solutions
​
In a conference meeting, every attendance finds it discouraging to participate in the meeting due to the technical disconnection. The team came up with the solution to design an easy-to-use, interactive UI meeting platform that solves all the technical problems. Also, keep in mind to give peace of mind with privacy protection.
02. Setting-up Design Language
​
Our persona desires seamless integration of office gadgets when not in use and views the product as an icebreaker before meetings.
Inspired by this, we created a universal design language to harmonize with any office setting. Additionally, I aimed to introduce an element of surprise by highlighting essential features when the product is in use.
03. Design Development
​
Define Feature & Design Concept
​
I collaborated closely with the Harman team to define the device's configuration and features.
Our main focus was to streamline cable management and enhance portability.
To achieve this, I introduced a handle to the wireless charging device and enabled users to connect via a dongle for simpler cable management.
Design Details
​
I crafted design details with user interaction and privacy in mind. We integrated LEDs for status indication, and users can check the camera status interactively. To accommodate the pop-up camera, we positioned the mic-array in the middle, making it a prominent feature in the design.
04. Building Prototype and Test
​
I worked closely with mechanical engineers to align the working prototypes with the design vision for the demo. Prototype testing helped determine camera height, component placement, and dimensions. We also added a rotational handle for weight balance.
1. Building prototypes
Work closely with ME to simplify the housing that could match with the ID vision concept
2. Box dongle
Dongle: Assist ME to figure out efficient dongle component layout to create minimum housing size
05. Vision Concept Model Test
I used a low-fidelity paper mockup to test real interactions in an end-user scenario. The goal was to try and define the best interaction method. I focused to define a physical interface to operate a camera pop-up or device and comfortably connect the dongle to mobile device.
06. Vision Concept Design Update
Based on the prototypes and usability test findings, I refined the design details. Design detail on the form and surface had to be modified to fit its function.
