We began by sketching out the initial important moments in our user’s journey through their day, This helped give us more empathy and understanding of the lives of the people we were designing for.
With the insights from the users’ lives we started on the screens and the actual digital assistant (DA) itself.
We prototyped many features and services it would provide.
We also examined if the DA would be solely in the car or if it would have capabilities in the home as well. Would you be able to request your car from your cellphone? Or would it be able to run errands for you without you even asking?
Then once we had the stories and capabilities down, we could develop more refined storyboards.
These are some more storyboards, just illustrated in a different style.
Some more detailed storyboards, illustrating what an interaction with the DA might look like. We named the assistant Tiro after the Roman emperor. Based on my research, two-syllable named with vowels such as Siri are the most pleasing to users.
Having the ability to repair your car with the help of your DA could literally save lives in certain situations.
