VUE Glasses Mobile App

Boosting Work Efficiency with Seamless Mobile and Glasses Integration

Aimed at young professionals, this app enhances Vue's smart glasses by providing mobile support to help users efficiently manage conversations and meetings.

The VUE Glasses app offers solutions for those who struggle with managing schedules, taking minutes, and completing tasks separately. Together with VUE glasses, the app streamlines everything in one place.

Current use \

VUE app is the connector between
the smart glasses and other mobile tools.

  • Activate and talk with voice assistants

  • Listen to music or audios

  • Record conversation/meetings for future record

USER DEMOGRAPHY \

Young professionals, aged 22-40, make up over 80% of VUE Glass's current users, so our goal is to craft features that cater to the needs of this user group.

Observations

  • They wear VUE glasses because they're less noticeable than headsets or earphones in business settings.

  • Voice assistants like Alexa and Siri are frequently activated by simple gestures on the glasses' arms;

  • They use glasses to record conversations/meetings when it is inconvenient to take real-time notes.

User problem \

How might we design VUE Glasses to help young professionals streamline the meeting process from participation to follow-up,
so they can stay focused and act faster?

glimpse of Solutions \

1. Support Full Meeting Circle by Lean Features

Users can also control key features by tapping/swipping VUE glasses' arms.

How did I get there?

find opportunities \

VUE is at a pivotal moment as their smart glasses are set for a revolutionary upgrade.

Explore Future Opportunities

  • Enhanced mobile - glasses interactions:  
    Leverage the advantages of smart glasses in workplace settings by developing unique features integrated with the mobile app.

It makes me think...

How might we boost the meeting efficiency of young professionals by leveraging new AI technologies and enhanced hardware interactions?

RESEARCH INSIGHTS \

In which directions can we focus to boost users' meeting efficiency?

We organized user insights through interviews and surveys into the following aspects:

Management

Review meeting list, calendar

Convenience & accessibility

Glass-mobile interactions and AI assistance in various scenarios

Proactive Assistance

Guide user throughout the process and get meeting notes and details well-organized

Inclusiveness

Translate, share, AI assistant

user flow \

How can we allocate ideas along the meeting experience cycle?

Work efficiency can be improved at various stages of the business meeting experience. We mapped the user flow into before, during, and after meeting stages, identifying potential ideas to address the frustrations highlighted in the user journey map.

From the user flow map, we can clearly find out the experience cycle is driven by the primary action -- "record".

wireframe \

Debating on Options...

There are a few crucial pages in the overall user flow, but I developed different options to achieve the same goal.

Which one is better? Can we keep both?

Instead of endless internal debates, I decided to let potential users provide the answer, which I incorporated into the Hi-Fi design. There are 16 usability tests conducted to guide our next steps.

⬇️ How do users access the feature?

⬇️ When users are recording conversations...

⬇️ After meetings, how do users document transcripts?

⬇️ How do users review previous meetings?

wait, A few more steps before hi-fi...

1. Based on user feedback, I removed the redundant items from the user flow, making it truly lean as an MVP, and more friendly for mobile users.

2. I added gestures for starting/ending recordings, pausing/resuming, and highlighting, while minimizing conflicts with existing gestures.

FINAL solutions \

We refined the solutions based on user feedback from wireframe usability tests, and enhanced the UI for consistency and accessibility.

Pre-meeting: quick onboard, meeting prep., express record

During meeting: real-time highlight, translate, and share

Post-meeting: aI speaker recognition, aI meeting summary
