Three questions to the project team

What was the particular challenge of the project from a UX point of view?
The special challenge is how to balance the function, innovation and UX of the large screen. This screen is the first large screen in the 3C industry. When designing, a purple dynamic nebula with depth is used as the background, and simple lines and data are used to display the power and power information of the power bank. Rich visual animation effects are used to enhance the visual experience of different usage scenarios of the power bank, reflect the fun and speed characteristics of the power bank, and enhance the user's pleasure when using 3C functions. From the UX visual point of view, the beauty of the product screen and the ease of use of the product are enhanced.

What was your personal highlight in the development process? Was there an aha!-moment, was there a low point?
The highlight of the production process was to break the traditional form of interaction and innovatively make the brightness adjustment function into a wheel-shaped toggle switch. Development feedback was too difficult to implement. Finally, after discussing the plan many times, it was an exciting moment when the rotating layer was combined with the code and implemented on the power bank.
The low point was that the initial plan made a variety of detailed interactions, but the power bank MCU was not capable enough, which would cause lag. Finally, under the premise of ensuring smooth functions and interactions, the effect was achieved by reducing it to 25 frames per second. In the end, the experience on the power bank was still good.

Where do you see yourself and the project in the next five years?
In the future, we will provide users with the function of replacing themes and raising electronic pets: 1. Provide the function of replacing themes. Multiple sets of themes are preset on the APP. Users can choose their favorite themes, or choose screen themes according to their moods and send them to the device to change the interface skin of the power bank. Of course, users can also DIY wallpapers and some dynamic expressions. 2. The function of raising electronic pets on the screen of the power bank, we will provide some pet images, and the pets will gradually grow as the energy value of the user uses the power bank. In daily use, the pet will interact with the user through gravity sensing, providing emotional value and fun interaction.
