Challenge & Solution
Designing a mobile app that connects and controls the smART sketcher device to improve the experience of kids who wants to use the product, play with it and learn from it, because they value the fun of interacting with a device using a mobile app, taking pictures, projecting them, and sketch.
At first, SmART Sketcher had a demo app with the basic features of selecting an illustration from the gallery or taking a picture and projecting it. However, the experience was a bit vague; it wasn’t child-oriented and the overall experience wasn’t good enough to make it stand out from all the popular related apps. We came to the conclusion that the best solution is guiding the users in an effortless process. We created a simple user journey where the concept was to start with the learning process, activating the device, personalizing the use of the product, and then discovering the various features. This helped to mitigate distraction, which is a huge challenge with designing a product for kids.
