Deliverables
My involvement with this project was not in overall design of this system, but rather as a design consultant involved at key moments during the design cycle. For this work, we aimed to deliver the client a succinct Powerpoint report for upper management to make decisions on investment into the products future. This included recommendations for the overall design and recommendations for individual features, default configuration recommendation for the GUI, sketches for new feature models, suggestions for naming conventions, and general sentiment analysis for the U.S. market. Upon delivery, client immediately made some of the proposed changes and the project worked its way into the general product development pipeline with design team from the advanced product side.
As part of my work at Escalent, I collaborated with an advanced product design team at a major automotive company team to carry out iterative user research on a next-generation eye tracking interface design for cars. The prototype we worked on was a functional prototype allowing for a variety of features to be control with the users eyes and a steering wheel based input. Features modelled include camera control, media player, navigation and HVAC. As this project includes many early stage prototypes, disclosure of actual design and research materials is not permitted to avoid sharing any trade secrets. Below represents a stand-in lo-fidelity prototype of the product we designed and test. The study ran for 5 days on location at the companies proving grounds facility and had a study population of 15 respondents. The total duration was roughly 6 hours for the respondents and required roughly 5 hours of moderation by me.
As the project manager and key point of contact with the client, I carried out the full suite of tasks associated with PMing an intensive, future-looking research project. Tasks include: Recruitment, Questionnaire development, workshop design, workshop moderation, usability testing and task based exploration, implications for design, and generation of key insights. Of these, I can share two different workshops I conducted.
