UX/UI for Smartwatch App
In September of 2017, I participated in a development effort at Contextere Corporation to create a prototype application on the Samsung Gear Frontier Smartwatch. I was primarily responsible for the user experience and user interface designs as well as the front-end development of the prototype.
The prototype was intended to demonstrate Contextere’s core premise of providing machine learning mobile software solutions to blue collar technicians working in the aerospace and defense industry. One aspect of the company’s core premise was the generation of minified work instructions, dubbed "micro-forms', which would come in the form of ‘go’, verify', or ‘do’ work instructions.
The prototype was developed in the Tizen ecosystem which uses HTML, CSS, and Javascript as its primary languages. The user scenario used to develop this demo follows the procedure of replacing the hydraulic fluid in aft cargo door snubber for a C-130K Super Hercules aircraft.

This image shows a screen where the user could view and select pending work orders. If the user were to select a pending work order they would be taken to a screen that would allow them to review the details of the work order before initiating it.
This screen displays the main menu of the application which is accessed by rotating the bezel of the watch.
This screen shows a 'go' micro-form instruction which directs the user to travel to an aircraft hangar. Clicking the 'open map' button on top would redirect the user to Google Maps.
Having arrived at the aircraft hangar, the user would confirm their arrival. If there was an issue along the way, the user could tap the X button which would prompt them to describe the issue they were facing and re-task them appropriately.
This screen shows an example of a technical diagram of the C-130K's aft cargo door snubber. which could be accessed via the application's main menu during applicable steps.
The progress tracker screen would record the steps that the users has completed.
This screen shows an example of a 'do' step in which the user is prompted to bleed excess air from the hydraulic
snubber system.
This screen shows a safety alert which informs the user to use caution when handling hydraulic fluid because it
is corrosive.
Once all steps were completed, the user would be prompted with a work summary screen where they could review all steps completed, relevant sensor data, and record additional notes before completing the work order.
having successfully completed the work order, the user would be shown this screen indicating its successful completion.
