Audio Visual System

CHALLENGE

Make the stressful experience of connecting to an audio visual system better

 

MY ROLE

User Research - Idea Generation - Form Factor Design - Prototyping - Testing - Storyboard - Final Presentation

 

USER RESEARCH

We observed and spoke to people presenting in varied situations and found a large common set of problems

FINDINGS FROM USER RESEARCH

KEY INSIGHT

The presentation begins as soon as the audience is aware of the presenter. This makes for a stressful set up.

 

PROBLEM REDEFINED

How might we move stress earlier and out of sight of the audience, and thus give control and confidence back to the presenter?

 

IDEATION + ITERATION

 

FINAL PROTOTYPE

'Kairos', in Greek, is the opportune moment

To enable a stress-free set up, we designed a system which:

  • connects a presenter to WiFi early

  • lets them arrange their presentation at their own convenience

  • provides a recognizable podium that connects automatically on walk-in
