The design challenge was creating an experience simple enough for non-technical users while enabling powerful wireless connectivity features.
Designed the physical interaction model including the frame hardware and dedicated remote control.
Created the on-screen user interface for browsing photos, configuring settings, and managing network connections.
Designed the WiFi setup experience to be simple and approachable for users who may not be familiar with network configuration.
Developed comprehensive interaction flows mapping out all user journeys through the device.
