The Product

About

The earbuds with the mobile app uses artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to enhance speech and reduce background noise in real-time.

Design Hypothesis

Why?

by providing mobile app to a wearable device we can allows users to control multiple speakers during a conversation with out interrupt the other speaker,and adjust their hearing settings based on their specific listening needs, ultimately leading to better communication outcomes and increased user satisfaction.

Behavioral Research

When/ Where

My task was to conduct a study to investigate the users' operating habits. Based on our findings, we discovered that users tend to use the product while in noisy environments and while engaging in conversations with people nearby. Additionally, we identified that the voice recognition and recording process can be awkward and challenging for users.

I asked question about

What.
are the typical behaviours of users in social environments such as family dinners at restaurants?"
How.
frequently do users tend to interact with the same individuals on a weekly basis?
Where.
users experience the most difficulty with conversing in noisy environments?
Device performance in different situations

Research Insights

Behavioural Research that our PM did with 28 participants- Where do you need the most using a several speaking solution.

1

Users tend to use the product mostly in noisy environments such as -Family dinner, restaurants 
& shopping

2

Users needs to operate the product while they are talking with others.

3

Users dent to see the same people most of their daily life

4

Each user has his own hearing problem.

Storyboard

Users tend to use the product mostly in noisy environments such as :Family dinner, restaurant and shopping

Empathy Map

They desire a discreet solution to select speakers and reduce unwanted noise. Missing out on conversations frustrates them, and they seek active participation without constant repetition. While embarrassed about their hearing difficulties, they find relief in using the app, improving their hearing experience.

Define: How I transformed research findings into a design concept.

Then I turned the user journey to a user flow. I mapped all the conflict that the user could have while he/she in the situation. I solve each conflict point by using Visual UI components.

Information Architecture

According to design concept of the room-lobby-outdoor I started to arrange the components to Information architecture.

Future Roadmap

What I've Learned from this Project

Future Roadmap

1

Personal Use and Everyday Communication

The Orcam Hear app can be used in various personal scenarios, such as family gatherings, social events, or conversations with friends, improving the overall communication experience for individuals with hearing difficulties.

2

Education Settings

The Orcam Hear app could be used in educational environments to assist students with hearing impairments by providing real-time speech enhancement and noise reduction, improving their ability to follow lectures and participate in classroom discussions.

3

Contextual Relevance

AI algorithms can consider the context of recent meetings, including the industry, project, or specific goals, to suggest nearby people who align with that context. This helps ensure that the suggested connections are relevant and beneficial in the given professional context

What I have learned from this project?

I learned that incorporating storyboard techniques in the UX design process can effectively visualize user interactions and scenarios, helping to identify pain points and improve the overall user experience.
