Map View
Alexa Mobile App
MapView is a novel interaction model for smart-home control. Customers can scan and build a digital twin of their home and place their smart home devices on the map. Finding and controlling a device no longer requires scrolling through an endless list.
What User problem does Map View address?
A typical smart home power user has about 50+ devices. The interfaces available to control them require perusing and scrolling through endless lists to perform simple actions like turning on / off lights and plugs. Parsing the affordances is especially challenging — all the light buttons look the same.
Leveraging peoples’ spatial understanding of their own houses, Map View makes it easier for customers to point-and control them.
Quick Actions on Map
I designed and prototyped the core interaction pattern for the Map View experience. The gestural interaction model makes it easy to perform frequent tasks — allowing Users to operate at the speed of thought.
