Navigating in Snow

The leading theme of the this project was navigation. The project consisted of a product and an interface design part.
The concept goggles for skiing and snow-boarding are connected to a handheld device. The user gets information and directions for the ski slope through an integrated head-up display.

Design challenges to overcome were the actual handling of the controls while wearing thick gloves on. This project was exceptionally educational since it was first time to make a more complex design model and an interactive flash demo of a user interface.



Parts of the development were creating user scenarios and market research. A design model was made after analyzing various Plasticine mock-ups. The control concept for the handheld device was sketched by paper interfaces and detailed with an interactive flash prototype.
