A holographic mechanism of action interface at the American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions
My role: Interaction and UI designer
UX and visual lead for interface and hologram design
Goals and challenges
Our project faced a tight deadline, complicated by the need to both produce in-house deliverables and outsource the creation of a hologram kiosk. When our original kiosk vendor proved unsatisfactory, we had to pivot mid-project and start fresh with a new supplier. The pressure was immense, but the team's resilience and our client's collaborative spirit were instrumental in ensuring a successful outcome. Our ability to recognize and address potential issues early on was also crucial.
Understanding the pathway
Created a site-map for the three different organ systems and how they connected to the main screensaver. This was crucial in understanding what types of high level interactions would be needed for the interface. This helped the client understand the scope of the project and created cohesive view of the structure.
Creating a storyboard to define the interactions
The interface in general is very simple, but the main challenge was finding a user interaction that told the story of how the body handles insulin and glucagon. We tried a few different types, switches, dials, etc., but came back to the slider. The state between FASTING and FED is not clearly black and white. We wanted to illustrate linear time between the two states.
