Product design
TUNE smart speaker ● Samsung
Samsung’s ARTIK division designed and shipped a line of Internet of Things (IoT) hardware modules. I was the Senior Design Director leading the team that designed and delivered functional prototypes showcasing ARTIK’s IoT hardware capabilities. A critical deliverable was TUNE, a prototype smart speaker incorporating voice, touch, and mechanical interaction design.
Voice interaction design
Hands-free voice interaction was critical to the TUNE interaction model. When designing the voice UX, I identified as many different ways a user could request music as possible. It’s interesting to that a detailed voice syntax spec could serve as a narrow AI training model.
Touch and hardware interaction design
Touch and mechanical controls provided additional context and options when integrated with a voice-driven UX. The final interaction spec had to incorporate any combination of voice, touch, and hardware interactions.
