Lunar settlers depend on Hexabots for survival, but existing interfaces are inefficient and difficult to use in space conditions.
Goals:
✅ Enable fast & intuitive task assignment for different user types
✅ Ensure clear tracking & real-time updates
✅ Design for hands-free interactions & extreme environments
I analyzed two primary user groups and their pain points to tailor the app’s functionality.
● Explorers & Researchers need fast, efficient control for experiments
● Families require a simple, user-friendly interface for daily tasks
● 65% of task assignments are time-sensitive & need a rapid response
The wireflow was designed to streamline key actions in just 10 steps, ensuring a logical, frictionless experience.
● Clear Task Allocation – Users can easily assign tasks & prevent overlaps
● Voice Commands – Hands-free controls for better accessibility
● Quick Status Updates – Hexabots’ progress is always visible at a glance
The high-fidelity UI focuses on clarity, accessibility, and efficiency while maintaining a futuristic aesthetic.
● Dark mode interface – Reduces eye strain in dimly lit lunar habitats
● Voice-enabled actions – Allows for easy control while wearing a spacesuit
● 3D Task Visualization – Clear distinction between active Hexabots & assigned zones
This competition was an exciting opportunity to design for real-world usability in extreme conditions. If selected, I would love to refine the design by:
🚀 Expanding usability testing with space-based simulations
🚀 Exploring AR interfaces for hands-free, immersive controls
🚀 Integrating AI-powered task optimization
