This project is a team work. I worked with UX/UI designer and industrial designers to create a product for 2040 by using Gravity Sketch. Biometrics is a wearable installation that improves our normal functions through human emotion, body awareness, daily movement and transport.

Gravity Sketch is an intuitive and immersive 3D design tool. Our objective is to create a wearable installation for 2040 that improves our normal functions through human emotion, body awareness, daily movement and transport by Gravity Sketch. Providing the user a better life by helping them to know more about their body and emotions.

We did some surveys and interviews with our potential audience to know about their current problem and what they want in the future. In this phase, our goal is to find the current pain points people face with their physical and mental health, and their expectations for the future lifestyle.
We did an online survey using Google Forms to find out what people think about wearable installations, how they manage their health and the problems they met, and identify potential solutions. We received 22 responses.
Survey sample questions:
Key insights derived from the surveys:
1. They think wearable installation is potential, popular, and incredible in the future.
2. Bring people convenient lifestyle, and perfect balance between reality and internet.
3. More commonly used and necessary.
4. They are more accepting of wearing them on their heads or hands.
5. Lighter weight is very important.
6. Easy to use and easy to wear.
7. People like to do some fitness and eat a healthy diet to care their physical health.
8. The hardest thing is to insist on doing it.
9. The purpose of caring health is to avoid and prevent potential disease.
10. They hope the installation can check for any sudden medical conditions, being alerted prior to getting sick, reminding them to drink water, eat fruit and adjust posture.
11. Most of them know how to control emotions, one third don’t know.
12. Currently, analyzing the reason of emotions is the most common method to control emotions.
13. They hope to get encouragement to control their emotions.
14. Obtain concrete and practical suggestions.
Based on the results of survey, we did interviews with the target audiences to know more details about their thoughts and need. During the interviews, we focus on connecting VR and physical/mental health and explore more opportunities to have a better life.
We had interviews with 6 people.
Interview sample questions:
The recordings of the interviews：
The interview results can be further classified into 6 categories：
Compared with data, they prefer to know a visible conclusion to tell them about their health.
The females take care about their menstruations.
Emotion Store: They would like to review their emotions.
Emotion share: They think it's beneficial to achieve empathy, and avoid retelling. But they care about the privacy, and they need the right to reject be shared.
People can see their match rate with others as friends or partners.
They hope to have a real touch feeling while VR call.
They like the idea of recording their dreams during sleep, or even control their dreams.
They hope the wearable installation can help they contact with families or friends, call the police or ambulance when emergency happens.
Protect them when meet bad guys, or protect from hurt.
Help people live better in the real world, but not focus on the virtual space.
In order to better determine, analyze and display users' pain points and needs, as well as determine the main functions of the product, we made storyboards for the parts of body, flight, emotion and social interaction. Here are the storyboards of body and social functions, which are created by me.
According to the storyboards and the main features of the product, we use card sorting to categories all the features, which will help us to do with the wireframe and interface.
The product including two parts, the suite and the drone. The product design was done by the teammates who are majoring in industry design.
To better demonstrate how users can use the product, and how the suite, the drone and the user interface work together, I did the UX scenario by Gravity Sketch.
Fly mode is to using drone combine suits to help people solve transportation problems. During the flying, you can go on autopilot and do nothing, or you can control the direction, altitude or speed all by yourself. The drone will monitor every safety factors for you, to ensure you can fly safely.
When you are in a cafe, because the suit knows so much about your preferences and character, you can know the matching rate between you with people around you through the suits. You can see the percentage of friends or partners of everyone, and the details of the common points, personalities and some images of this person. Then, you can send friend requests to them.
When you go to anywhere, you can adjust the temperature of the entire suit, as well as parts of the suit, such as the chest, stomach and knees, which provide a more efficient way to keep a comfortable temperature for you.
When there is a fire emergency, you can wear the suit through the fire and not be injured, and at the same time, you can see the evacuation map in front of you, which can help you to escape from the fire.
When the suit's battery gets low, you can recharge the batteries with fitness, meditation, stretching and other activities that promote physical and mental health. When you have fitness, there is a virtual coach to guide you through movements to make sure your exercise routine is right for you and doesn't hurt you. When the fitness is done, the suit would add the corresponding charge amount.
You can learn about the suit and drone through the interface, such as their condition, what is the function of each part of them, the materials, etc. You can rotate, zoom in and out to see every detail.
Here is the link to the entire prototype. Feel free to click and play around!
