HAND UNLOCK

Engineers came to me to design an app that will unlock mobile devices using capacitive touch as a biometric.  This app requires 1) registration of a biometric and 2) use of biometric to unlock device.

CHALLENGE

How can we design a simple biometric security app using just the touch screen?

ROLE

Interaction and art direction. In collaboration with user experience researchers, engineers, and product managers.

IMPACT

Created a simple and intuitive white label biometric registration app using capacitive touch that was a major selling feature for low end smart phones.

PROCESS

Gained basic understanding of technology's capabilities to design a simple and elegant solution.

• Delivered wireframes  
• Illustrated all graphical assets
• Prototyped interaction and motion studies
• Created assets and specifications (interaction and visual design) for implementation
• Provided user experience support for testing and engineering development
