An exploration of new UI/UX paradigms for mixed reality applications and experiences.
This collection features various projects I worked on at LOOOK, Inc., where my primary role was to concept and explore design possibilities for mixed reality experiences. My work often involved tackling core UI/UX challenges unique to the HoloLens, such as designing for a limited field of view and optimizing for a 1.5-2 meter optimal viewing distance. The work showcased here represents a vital part of the creative process—exploring new ideas and pushing the boundaries of what was possible in mixed reality.
Ways I contributed:
Concepting & Ideation – Pre-visualization & Animation – UI/UX Design – Compositing
We worked with a company based out of France that manufactures overhead cranes and created a proof of concept as well as some visual materials. We found that overhead crane training required specialized facilities and is time consuming and dangerous. This holographic prototype allows trainees to use a real overhead crane controller to operate a holographic crane simulation. The simulation replicates all aspects of the real crane, but with less hazard and at a lower cost.
We were approached by Swagelok to think through problems they have with visualizing flow, pressure and understanding their complex fluid system technologies. In this concept we created a visual that showed the potential of creating a mixed reality experience that would overlay over their fluid systems to provide controls in MR to adjust the system as well as seeing complex information when you want it on a variety of parts and controllers.
The below image & video was a concept that we worked on as a global set of controls to solve a huge problem in MR/VR. UI in these experiences cannot be conveniently locked to a 2D screen and must integrate with the environment around you. We wanted to try and find a set of global elements and patterns that we could reuse for any experience.
The below video and animated loop were just a few branding elements that I worked on while at LOOOK. I wanted to create a simple logo animation which we eventually took some of this idea as our startup animation for our experiences. The animated gif below was a visual element we added to a holiday greeting email that we sent out last winter.
