This workshop was sponsored by Huawei Wuhan Research Institute. The theme of this workshop is digital work product experience innovation, and the task is to focus on people who have high meeting frequencies (hybrid office & conference predominantly) , to discover innovative ways that can enhance their meeting experience.

We were asked to leverage the innovative features of the HUAWEI smartwatch to empower people with lots of meetings to have a more productive and engaging hybrid work experience.

We designed a smartwatch meeting assistant that offers presentation progress tracker, name or keyword alerts, and stress management features to enhance meeting experience.
Assisted presenting (user scenario): Alex opens the app to rehearse. The system generates an adjustable timeline. During the presentation, the smartwatch vibrates if Alex exceeds the time limit. Alex can also use the watch to flip slides and adjust the volume.
Assisted listening (user scenario): Before a meeting, Emily sets up keywords. If mentioned, her smartwatch vibrates to alert her. If it detects fatigue, it automatically starts recording the meeting.
Stress management (user scenario): When the smartwatch detects Alex's anxiety, it prompts a relaxation exercise. Alex can follow the calming animation to regain calm.
Initially, HUAWEI shared overwhelming information about the target user “people with lots of meetings”, including a persona that was too general and a list of detailed pain points.
We clustered and teased out the main frustration and friction in the end-to-end process.
We conducted further research for more in-depth insights to validate user needs.
We prioritized pain points based on the level of pain, impact & ability to impact with HUAWEI's feedback.

We sorted out and analyzed the feature modules and role positioning of existing smartwatches, brainstormed many ideas, talked to numerous users during the process, and drew up storyboards to present to our clients.
Iterated on flows / IA for key pages.
Iterated on wireflow & layout.
Validated our concept & prototype.
Assist presentations, keep meetings on track, and manage time with automatic progress tracking, timeout alerts, quick controls.
Ensure smooth and efficient presentations. After generating the progress bar on the computer, it automatically syncs to the smartwatch. When the presentation begins, easily manage your progress, quickly flip through slides, adjust volume, and switch materials.
