Overview

Project Goals

Harnessing a B2B Enterprise Platform to Create Consumer-Focused Value

Resonai's digital twin platform initially focused on helping building owners manage and navigate daily facility maintenance but wanted to offer more value to potential retail property clients considering a digital transformation.

A new marketing division worked to expand the platform with a mobile app offering interactive AR experiences & retail-centric features to help consumers explore and interact with the properties.

Overview

Challenges

Unique Design Needs of AR

Augmented Reality interfaces need high visibility against diverse contrasting backgrounds while maintaining enough of the camera’s view for the safety and usability of users navigating their surroundings through their phone.

Navigation-Focused Platform

Since location mapping was the digital twin platform's core function, AR experience designs were limited to either wayfinding & functions related to visiting locations, or stationary interactive content.

Extended Value Features

To provide lasting value beyond novelty AR features, the platform needed to gain consumer loyalty, with time-based promotions & e-commerce integrations needed to build customer retention.

Digital Concierge Demo App

Building on the platform’s core digital twin mapping and navigation capabilities, we created a demo app to pitch luxury mall clients that shifted focus from facilities management to customer-facing features, showcasing engaging AR experiences and retail business integrations, all wrapped in a premium user interface.

Sales & Pitch Presentations

To sell potential clients on our newly developed app and its numerous concepts, we needed a pitch deck that matched the modern, sleek UI design. We conducted a branding exercise to elevate Resonai's sales & conference materials through refined typography, brand imagery, and clean, minimalist deck layouts.

Outcomes

Going Beyond Function with Elevated Design Language & Playful Interactivity to Engage Consumers

The premium-feeling user interface, combined with a rich feature set and novel interactive content proposals, helped the client form new relationships with several high-end property owners and multinational retail conglomerates, and feature as a frontrunner in XR technology at the Augmented World Expo conference.

My experience both as a brand designer with an intuitive grasp of design aesthetics, and as a games UX designer organizing complex information in multilayered digital spaces was instrumental in creating a product that exceeded expectations with its novelty and freshness.
