Experience Mapping

We documented experience maps as a holistic representation of how the devices worked in tandem. Here's a sample.

System Flows

Here's a small blurred out sample of the System flows.

Human-Centered Design

Moms with strollers, kids, hearing/vision impaired, people of different physical abilities, the young and the old, expats who don't speak English and the administrators wearing different hats. It was all about inclusion, the technology had to work for everyone.

Prototype

I created a few different versions of a quick-and-dirty animated prototype to better visualize the experience.
