Context
The room scanning app for Customspace configurators was developed to streamline the process of selecting and placing fitted furniture within a user's space. By enabling users to scan their rooms, the app aimed to provide a more accurate and immersive experience when designing kitchens, wardrobes, and other custom furnishings.
Brief
Integrating the room scanning app into an existing website presented several challenges. The primary concern was ensuring a seamless user experience while maintaining the webapp's functionality and compatibility with the main website's design. Additionally, understanding user expectations and behaviours related to room scanning and furniture configuration was crucial for designing an effective solution.
Actions
As the UX lead, my role was to create a user-friendly interface and intuitive workflow for the room scanning app. This involved:
User Flow Creation: I created comprehensive user flow diagrams to visualize the user journey from scanning a room to selecting and placing furniture. This helped ensure a clear and logical path through the app.
Competitor Analysis: I conducted a thorough analysis of competing scanning and measuring apps to identify their strengths, weaknesses, and unique features. This information was used to inform design decisions and ensure the room scanning app offered a competitive and user-friendly experience.
Contextual Integration: I worked closely with the development team to integrate the app's design and functionality seamlessly into the existing website. This involved aligning the app's visual elements and interactions with the website's overall aesthetic.
Outcomes
Through my efforts, the roomscanning app was successfully integrated into the website, providing users with a seamless and intuitive experience. The app's user-friendly interface and clear navigation made it easy for users to scan their rooms, select furniture, and visualize how different options would fit within their space.
The creation of an MVP based on the user flow diagrams allowed for early testing and feedback, ensuring that the app met the needs and expectations of its target audience. While further user testing and iterations are planned, the initial results demonstrate the effectiveness of the app's design and functionality.
