During my role as Product Designer in Smarterp, a Computer-Assisted Interpreting platform, we needed to design the companion app that the international audience would use to listen to the live translation of the online conference. Given the time and resource constraints, I decided to run a design workshop inspired by Google Ventures' "Sprint" to come up with a solution in the least time possible. The workshop has been held with 3 colleagues, two fellow designers, and the Product Owner.
Given that all Smarterp's employees work remotely, the workshop has been held through a Miro board and a Zoom call.
For the workshop, I set up the Miro board in 5 different steps:
After the workshop, it was my responsibility to put every voted solution into a low-fidelity mockup. Once finished, I presented the solution to the Product Owner and the development team. The prototype is mobile-first both because we assumed that the conference participants will get the audio/video stream directly from their mobile phones and, as a second goal, to make development of the desktop interface simpler.
Audience Interface Lo-Fi Wireframe
The app has been designed to allow the participant to join and listen to possible different conference' rooms. To make the recognition of the rooms easier, each room can be identified by color, title, or speakers in the room. The app has been tought to be a Progressive Web App (PWA) given its temporary nature in the user's smartphones.
