User research
Findings &Insights
To get a baseline understanding of the desired experience, I conducted 6 structured interviews. Additionally, 43 individuals completed a survey.
Usability testing
Fndings & Iterations
I conduct usability testing with multiple user and incorporate the insights into my design. Here are the big changes that were made.
The initial interaction for uploading an art piece is to select it from an album, and the application will automatically recognize its information
After testing with NFT collectors and artists, it became apparent that it made more sense for them to link their digital wallet and upload the art pieces from there.
This is the initial display for viewing the specific information of the art piece.
After conducting tests, I recognized that some key information that interests viewers is missing, such as the artist and the collector. Additionally, the link for purchasing was also absent. Therefore, I have created a new version to address these issues.
Reflecting on the
Project Process
The journey has been filled with challenges, ups, and downs, but it has been a tremendous learning experience. Throughout this process, I have gained invaluable insights that have shaped my understanding and approach
How to tell a story
One of the key elements of presenting an idea is being able to clearly and concisely communicate the main concept, as well as its benefits and value. This may include highlighting how the idea is innovative, how it addresses a specific need or problem, and how it will be beneficial to the target audience.
Furthermore, I have learned the benefits of using interactive and immersive technology such as Augmented Reality (AR) and how it can enhance the user's engagement and interest in the idea.
Another important aspect is the ability to tell a story that will resonate with the audience and make the idea more relatable and compelling. This includes being able to clearly communicate the key features and benefits of the idea, and to demonstrate how it will impact and be beneficial to the audience. Additionally, by framing the concept within a story and make it more relatable, I can create a sense of excitement and engagement.
