My Project Role

● Project Manager
● User Research
● Interactive Designer
● User Testing Evaluation

Managed a 5-person team of professionals, including a UI designer, animator, and engineers. Completed the design, iterative development, installation, and testing of the entire interactive display within a month.
Conducted user research for exhibition attendees, collaborating to design user interfaces with accessibility features tailored for young children and individuals with mobility challenges.
Conducted interface testing, consolidated error reports, and tracked corrections to ensure program quality throughout the iterative development of the interactive program.

Project Overview

The Taiwania Tree, which is East Asia's tallest tree species, often called "the tree that hit the moon." Through a 2.4-meter-high interactive interface, we aim to recreate the experience of gazing up at these colossal trees, inviting visitors to envision the splendor of the "three sister Taiwania trees" in the exhibition of biodiversity.

UI Design

To immerse viewers in the high-altitude environment where the Taiwania Tree grows while using the interactive display, the design of the interface centers around the "glassmorphism" style. It incorporates a frosted UI with dynamic elements that alternate between clarity and blurriness, aiming to evoke the misty atmosphere surrounding the Taiwania Tree in its natural habitat.

User Experience Design

To ensure accessibility for a diverse audience, including children and individuals with mobility challenges, the interface allows free zooming and drag-and-drop interactions.
