About:
Our project aims to create a calmer user experience with Google Home mini. Conducted user research to look for pain points, we found that Google home might be activited randomly which annoys and even scares users. To resolve this issue, we focus on creating a calm, controlled and enjoyable user experience by adding up gesture control. And in the end we conducted user tests to assess our prototyped experiences for further development.
