Museum of Life

The Museum of Life project introduces a novel approach to personal digital archiving through immersive Virtual Reality (VR). It allows users to preserve, organize, and engage with digital and physical memories within an interactive VR environment, supported by a seamless smartphone companion app. Designed for tech-savvy individuals and nostalgia-seekers, the project reimagines digital curation, blending emotional connection with cutting-edge technology to enhance engagement and emotional well-being.

Usability Testing and Redesign of Google Maps

This project focused on improving the usability of Google Maps' multi-stop route planning, location-based discovery, and public transport features. Through extensive user testing on both the smartphone app and desktop site, key pain points were identified, including inaccurate travel time estimates, inconsistent points of interest (POI) discovery, and difficulties in planning future public transport routes. The research provided critical insights to optimize Google Maps for a growing population of commuters in a post-pandemic world.

InaFlash

In a Flash is a UX design project aimed at creating a platform that connects photographers, businesses, and models. The app facilitates showcasing photography portfolios and streamlines hiring based on budget and work preferences. It also fosters a sense of community among photographers while addressing the challenges of income stability, client relationships, and platform control in the digital age. By leveraging the Stanford Design Thinking Process, the project aspires to provide a user-centric, inclusive solution for self-employed photographers, small businesses, and aspiring models in the UK and India.

Fitness TogethAR

Fitness TogethAR is an innovative fitness application that integrates Augmented Reality (AR) to revolutionize at-home workouts. Designed with a user-centric approach, the app delivers real-time feedback on exercise form via AR overlays, ensuring proper technique and minimizing the risk of injuries.

Emotional Journey

Emotional Journey is an immersive Virtual Reality multiplayer game designed to foster empathy and emotional intelligence. Players navigate puzzle-filled stages by engaging in meaningful conversations and adjusting their interactions to influence each other’s emotional states, visualized through dynamic colored auras. By integrating insights from psychology and user research, the game creates emotionally responsive environments where players can learn how their words and actions impact others. Through real-time feedback and collaborative gameplay, Emotional Journey redefines how we explore human emotions in the digital age.
