User Research, Product Design, Prototyping

Context

Project aimed to design a solution for office workers to workout at home during COVID-19.

Problem 😐

Working out at home during COVID-19 came with space constraints and low motivation due to lack of social connection.

So... what did I do?

I designed a smart workout system using a mobile app and smart mirror to deliver safer, personalized home workouts.

Office workers need

  • A safe way to exercise

  • Home-friendly workouts

  • Motivation to exercise

Project requirements

  • A mobile application

  • At home workouts for office workers

Outcome

I designed Replica, a mobile application that would pair with a smart AI mirror to monitor user's form and give guidance

Real-time feedback on user's form

Used in tandem with the mirror, Replica enables users to work out with ease while they receive guidance on their forms

Creating a social community

With Replica's weekly leaderboard system, users can meet and workout with fellow like-minded fitness pals as motivation to do better

Personalised onboarding processes

Recognising that everyone (and their homes) are different, users will undergo an onboarding quiz upon registration to personalise a workout regimen accordingly

Learnings

Understanding constraints

A lot of this project was done with assumptions in mind based on Internet findings and a small user group. If I had more time, I would definitely conduct a larger user group for better design validation
