Roles
UI, UX
Heads-up goggles that display live analytics to streamline processes for avid swimmers. Created to learn about research, design, and testing for UX and UI.
The Problem
Swimmers constantly have to deal with the distracting tasks of manually keeping track of variables such as lap count, time, yardage, and vitals.
-
We interviewed people who swim laps as an exercise routine to discover their goals, and what they do to achieve their goals. Based on our findings from the interviews, we developed our persona to represent a typical SmartSwim user and their goals.
