The Design Task: to explore futuristic interaction ideas, and design an interaction that is unique and a little beyond the current interactions we have today.
My design idea is Dance MiRror, a Mixed Reality (MR) application for a hypothetical futuristic MR device (that would support the suggested interaction methods) to teach users dance moves and choreographies.
Try out the Hi-Fi prototype (designed in Figma): here
Design
While wearing an MR headset and using a skeletal tracking depth sensor (e.g. Microsoft Kinect), the application can display a mirrored view of the user’s pose, provide step-by-step guidance and performance feedback to the user via visual cues.
Colour Palette
- Avoid bright colours as they can cause eye fatigue
- Avoid complete white and black due to MR rendering technology
- Use non-transparent dark backgrounds to reduce occlusion
- Bold text on interfaces to improve readability
Some initial concepts and lo-fi prototypes:
