About Tractus Smart Site

Tractus Smart Site represents an innovative Augmented Reality application designed to facilitate comprehensive on-site inspections. Users can navigate their surroundings, utilizing advanced scanning capabilities to detect and assess the condition of objects.

The app empowers users to identify faults, breakages, or defects with precision. During the augmented reality session, users can seamlessly take notes, ensuring thorough documentation of their observations. Additionally, the platform provides a structured checklist of tasks, guiding users through a systematic and efficient inspection process.

Challenges and Objectives

The goal of the project is to design and build a user friendly application for technologically unversed users to scan hardware objects using Augmented Reality and solve any detected defects

  1. User Research

The User Research process for Tractus Smart Site was conducted with a blend of internal team surveys, brainstorming sessions, and competitor analysis. Our internal team surveys provided valuable insights into the diverse perspectives within the organization, capturing firsthand knowledge of user expectations and preferences. Engaging in brainstorming sessions allowed for collaborative idea generation, fostering creativity and ensuring a comprehensive exploration of potential features and functionalities. Concurrently, a thorough competitor analysis was conducted to glean insights from similar solutions in the market, identifying both best practices and areas for innovation. User Personas, Application Structure and User Flows were also created during the process.

  1. Low Fidelity and Hi Fidelity Designing

Embarking on the design journey, a multitude of ideas for the responsive website were carefully streamlined, focusing on those that promised the most efficiency and a truly user-centric experience, ultimately aiming to deliver the most rewarding user interaction and flow. This process began with the sketching of hand-drawn paper wireframes, which evolved into digital wireframes, and finally blossomed into the high-fidelity design through multiple iterations, each a step closer to the perfect user experience and interface.

a. Paper Wireframes

b. Digital Wireframes

c. High Fidelity Mockups

Using the paper and digital wireframes as a base reference , the new User Interface was crafted using Adobe XD, as per the feedback received. Keeping in mind the targeted user, a design and production decision was made, which prioritized designing for tablet and landscape orientation (mobile) interfaces.

  1. Logo Design

Next up, I carefully designed a sleek and straightforward logo using Adobe Illustrator, which would embody a minimalistic aesthetic to convey simplicity and clarity.

  1. Development Handoff

After completing the prototype design, we transitioned into the development phase using Unity 3D. This transition required me to familiarize myself with Unity 3D and use its codebase to develop the application's front end. It was a learning experience where I not only implemented the design but also expanded my skills to include front-end development. This collaborative effort between design and development in Unity 3D transformed the initial prototype into a functional and interactive application.
