Belkin Wemo Baby Monitor
Led User Experience Design of Wemo Baby, a gadget that turns the iPhone into a digital baby monitor.
Belkin Wemo Baby is a baby monitor that works over the home Wi-Fi or 3G network. Users place a monitor device in the baby's room and listen in using an app on their smart phone. I led the User Experience including research, design and testing. I collaborated with numerous stakeholders to achieve a clean minimal experience, consistency between the device and the app as well as with Belkin Wemo product family.
Design Values
I created working wireframe prototypes for the app and the device that I gradually changed into high fidelity prototypes by collaborating with Graphic and Industrial Designers, Electrical and Software Engineers, Product and Marketing.
Scope & Concept
I began by narrowing down the scope to support only the most likely and important use cases. Based on this, I created a minimal intuitive interaction model with a simplified approach to handling multiple users, privacy and security.
Mockups
I created working wireframe prototypes for the app and the device that I gradually changed into high fidelity prototypes by collaborating with Graphic and Industrial Designers, Electrical and Software Engineers, Product and Marketing.
Detailed Software Design
I prepared detailed specs mapping all process flows for all user and iOS initiated events (such as multiple threading) and network related events (such as WIFI and 3G connection errors). I defined an east devie network setup based on the Belkin Wemo setup process. Each process included relevant screen/device layouts and definitions and shared with Software, Hardware and QA engineers.
